Original Galaxy Note receives Jelly Bean update on AT&T
Verizon Wireless also pushed out Android 4.1.2 for the Galaxy Note 2.
Wow. Just like the update 6.1.4 on my iPhone 5 yesterday which was released by Apple yesterday…never mind.

Computerworld has a comprehensive list of devices that will, have, or are expected to get an update to Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean”.
Now I’ll have to see if my iPhone 4 will get iOS 6, oh wait, yes it will.
Your Android might get updated, or not.
AndroidPit:
Not too long ago, Google stated that they wanted to press a reset button on Android to avoid further fragmentation and to address present issues, but it now seems that it might have just been talk. Why you ask? Because it’s now been reported that the newly announced Android Jelly Bean will come in 3 different versions: one for phones, one for 7 inch tablets, and one for full sized tablets.
The solution for fragmentation is more fragmentation?

Seeing as many won’t get Jelly Bean, you can try this. Of course, you need ICS, so only two or three can actually do it.
The Verge:
To get beyond that, we reached out to several OEMs and most have given some variation on “no comment” when it comes to upgrading current devices to 4.1. Acer, Asus, and HTC all declined to comment on whether (to say nothing of when) 4.1 would arrive on their devices — though HTC did say “Watch this space for more information.” LG told us it is evaluating Android 4.1 for current devices, but doesn’t have anything official to announce. As of this writing, we’ve not yet heard back from Motorola, but will update this article if and when we do.
I’m going to predict the future right now. When Google I/O 2013 comes by, less than 10% of Android users will have Jelly Bean. And I’m being generous.

The ball is on Amazon’s court now, for the small affordable tablet market.
New version of Android, same story as always. All these features are great, until you realize that the majority of Android phones being sold are still on Gingerbread, sometimes right out of the box.
