We already heard from Sony today, why not Motorola next? Motorola has made a few changes to their list of devices that are scheduled to receive Android 4.1 and you might find a few surprises.

Sony has taken to its blog to give users a better idea on the status of Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and which devices they plan on updating. According to the post, Sony’s latest smartphone models: Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V, will all begin to receive the upgrade to Jelly Bean from mid-Q1 2013. After that, the global versions of Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will all be upgraded to Android 4.1 (no set time frame given).
As Android 4.1 slowly rolls out to Galaxy S III users around the globe, U.S. owners can’t help but wonder when they can expect the tasty Jelly Bean update. Well, Samsung doesn’t want to leave everyone hanging like most OEMs do. That’s why they’ve sent out a press release to ensure everyone that Jelly Bean is, in fact, on the way.
If you’re lucky enough to be running the latest version of Android (Android 4.1 Jelly Bean) then you already know how awesome improvements such as Project Butter and Google Now are. Google also made great enhancements in its Voice Search, and while it’s kind of Star Trek-ish when your device is talking back to you, it can also be annoying. Thankfully, there’s a way to disable speech output when using Voice Search — you know… for those times when your voice is the only one you feel like hearing.
Looks like Verizon was waiting until they had a device on their network that was actually running Android 4.1 before updating their NFL Mobile app. I guess that makes a bit of sense, however, they still could have pushed out Android 4.1 sooner. Back to the subject at hand: NFL Mobile.
