Other carriers will offer the update to subscribers in the coming months.
Sprint is the first U.S. carrier to offer its subscribers Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
The update is available as an over-the-air update, with the smartphone now supporting features such as Android Beam, Google Now, as well as enhanced and expanded notifications.
Sprint has advised that the Samsung Galaxy S III itself will automatically download the Jelly Bean update, with users being prompted once it's ready to install.
Jelly Bean introduces different keyboard options including the Swype keyboard, while users will now be able to block incoming calls and alerts for a specific period of time. Additional support for accessories relating to NFC One Touch Pairing for Bluetooth devices and wireless mirroring via AllShare is also included.
Android's latest version also integrates Samsung's TouchWiz interface and enhancements to the handset's camera; users will be able to apply several filters to both still and video shots, accompanied by a low-light mode and the ability to combine separate video clips.
Other U.S. carriers will deliver the Jelly Bean update to Samsung Galaxy S III owners in the coming months.
Actually, no I didn't. I don't appreciate being scammed (or looking at nyan cats, hehe), and I'm too busy enjoying Jelly Bean on my Nexus. Go spam somewhere else.
Fragmentation for the win.
Fragmentation for Windows?
I guess you could say that, if by fragmentation you understand that my desktop is different from your desktop, I have different applications installed and I might have skipped one or two service packs.
Still, Windows rules the desktop world, all the programs compatible with my installation are compatible with yours, too, and if you try to use my desktop you'll be surprised how familiar it feels, under all that superficial customization.
You can buy a Dell PC and deal with the "Dell Support" programs preinstalled, or a HP and deal with their specific programs.
Or you can buy a PC and customize it to your liking. Don't forget, there are still plenty of people using WinXP, some still using Win2000 and some with Vista. OMG, look at all that "fragmentation".
Now for the surprise: you can do the same with an Android phone, if you know what you're doing and how to do it. Even so, under all that custom layer, there is still the Android OS you already know how to use. If not, just use it as is, because it is still good. Having all the OPTIONS is what made Android get 68% of the mobile market.
