Well, now we have proof in form of a screenshot linked to a purchase for the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ device via the Play Store. As you can see, it clearly shows a small little tid bit of information that makes everyone assumptions truth. You can see it lists Android 4.1 Jell…. Jelly Bean. It is great to finally have that mystery solved. It does however, create more questions. It mentions ‘soon the first phone’ running the new OS. Interesting to note the mention of this on the HSPA+ version of the device. In our eyes that means Verizon is pretty much out of the loop at first, if not entirely. It also implies that Jelly Bean will be an update and not accompany a new phone launch. Not that it is a big issue. It should also put Google in line to launch the Nexus 7 tablet with Android Jelly Bean as the first tablet though and we should be seeing that at Google I/O, we hope. Now, when is the update going to start hitting devices and when will it land as open source for the developers. If it is announced at Google I/O we expect it to be starting pretty soon.

There’s no reason why Jelly Bean shouldn’t arrive on my Nexus S. It better. And the 5 Nexus devices coming in November better blow the Galaxy Nexus out of the water. I may just have to settle on buying a new phone every damn year.
Im with you there. If you keep waiting for the best phone to come out, you’ll always be waiting. Im the same way, sooner you have to take a plunge and grow with your new phone till your behind the other guys with there top of the line phones 4 months later. I just got the Galaxy Nexus, love the phone, but I kno HTC One overpowers mine, but its ok, cuz the nexus is still a very fast and high end phone. Maybe by the end of next year ill upgrade. You’ll go broke if you upgrade every 6 months, unless you make 100,000/year
Bring on the update and Lets hope they release our version of siri for all device’s!! Not just Nexus line….
I call BS!!! I just went to the Play store, filled a cart and went to checkout and NO WHERE does it give any additional description about the phone being the latest from Google or anything. It just says “Galaxy Nexus” so I’m starting to think someone just photoshopped that pic to get people talking. Sucks but is most likely true, no new Android OS’s will be seen anytime soon.
It was an accident. They took it off. But I’m too late replying as it has now been confirmed.
