  1. “new TouchWiz elements including pop-up play”
    pop-up play play is already on the S3 with ICS.

    1. different but the same.

  2. I think I just touchwiz’d

  3. I was hoping the Galaxy tab 10.1 would get it.

  4. I think it is a pop up and play s-memo feature or internet or something.

  5. Samsung Ace Plus to Get Jelly Bean update…is it true??? Please confirm

  6. Not the Galaxy S Relay 4G?

  7. How large is the update? Mine is showing 30.9Mb on verizon. Im not sure if this is jelly bean or some other update

    1. That is a totally different update.

  8. can hope for UK by the end of the week

  9. manufacturers and carriers need to hire the dev community because my s3 has had jelly bean for many weeks now.

    1. So has my i9000, but that ain’t gonna happen

  10. hey, what about galaxy tab 7.7?

  11. So not the T-Mobile version of the Galaxy S II?

  12. I have the SII LTE (or rather, the Skyrocket as it’s known here) but something tells me that unfortunately we won’t be getting this until about 6 months from now. It took what felt like FOREVER for the Skyrocket to get ICS (which I never installed because I used Custom Roms and eventually CM9.1) and I’m sure AT&T needs to screw things up and delay it. Hopefully soon the modders will be able to just work off the existing JB source code and come up with something good for us all.

  13. thats a gr8 list…many low end devices r included …good sammy…now pls dont screw up wid dates

  14. just release the source already sammy…i need me some buttar!

  15. That’s a pretty long list… are you sure it’s not the list of banned devices?

    /humor

  16. When is out in the UK for S3 customers?
