I have some good news for Galaxy S III owners. Samsung has started pushing out Jelly Bean ahead of schedule. The first batch of updates has already begun over in Poland and is expected to hit other markets soon. With Android 4.1, the Samsung Galaxy III will not only be up-to-date, but will enjoy all the killer benefits and features such as Google Now and Project Butter.

Samsung has released what appears to be the Kraken of point-and-shoots. It’s a 16.3MP Android-powered camera, and when I say Android powered, I’m talking Android 4.1! Yep, I know a boatload of users who may never get the chance to taste Jelly Bean on their Android smartphone and yet here’s a camera rocking the latest version of Android (ouch).

Yes, you read that title right. ASUS, the reining king of updates, has already begun pushing out Jelly Bean to Transformer Pad TF300 customers in North America.

On Thursday, the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM for the Samsung Galaxy S III was leaked online, much to the delight of Galaxy S III owners the world over. If you’re understandably cautious about installing it on your new handset prior to its official launch, then check out the 10-minute video below that shows the software in action on Samsung’s flagship Android handset.

Many of us are still getting acquainted with our new Android 4.1 devices (Nexus 7 in particular) so when I stumbled upon a long list of voice commands for Android 4.1, I just had to share. You may be familiar with many of the standard voice commands, but with the introduction of Google Now, there’s a whole new library of “ask and answer” commands for you to experiment with.
