We have some great news for all you AT&T Galaxy S III owners out there. A handful of users are reporting that Jelly Bean is now available via Kies. No need to wait for an official announcement from AT&T, simply update to the latest version of Kies, plug in your Galaxy S III and let the fun begin.

While I should be used to this by now, I just can’t help but feel depressed every time a new Android distribution chart comes out. You see, way too many devices are left running outdated versions of Android and it’s really the average consumer who ends up getting the shaft.

If you didn’t already know, Google likes to name Android’s major iterations after tasty desserts. Starting with Cupcake and proceeding alphabetically, we’ve had Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and now Jelly Bean. “K” is up next, and after a few rumors and process of elimination, most of us have made up our minds that the next iteration will be called Key Lime Pie.

When Android 4.2 dropped, those lucky enough to be privy to the update also received a convenient update to their Gmail app. Goodies such as pinch-to-zoom, swipe-to-delete, auto-fit messages, and more were dangled in the face of the less worthy and only available to the select 1%. But not anymore! Well… not anymore for those running Android 4.0 and up.

Let’s be honest, battery life on just about any mobile device is anything but ideal. Light to average users may make it throughout a day or two without needing a charge, but for the power users out there, carrying a charger/extra battery/juice pack/etc. is a necessity.
