Earlier we reported that Samsung had begun rolling out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to international Samsung Galaxy S3 handsets in Poland, with other countries and regions expected to follow shortly.

As Alton Brown is fond of saying, “your patience will be rewarded.” Today, those of you with Verizon-branded Galaxy Nexus handsets (at least those that didn’t run out and download an unofficial Jelly Bean) are finally getting your reward. Android version 4.1.1 (better known as JRO03O among the hack happy) is being pushed out OTA to Big Red customers, complete with the preemptive magic of Google Now in tow. If you haven’t seen an alert yet, head to the About Phone section in your settings, and tap System Updates. Having recently been welcomed back to the AOSP fold, we’d have hoped for an update sooner, but it’s still among the first wave of handsets to move to the latest version of Android. Now if only this would restore Google Wallet functionality. (Hey, a guy can dream can’t he?) The complete announcement from Verizon awaits after the break.

Acer missed its summer launch target for the Iconia Tab A110, but it’s making amends for its timing. The 7-inch, quad-core tablet is now reaching Europe in the fall, but it’s also carrying that rumored upgrade to Jelly Bean — including the same mini-tablet interface that we know best from the A110’s arch-rival, the Nexus 7. Hardware hasn’t moved on since then, however, so you’ll still have to cope with a lower 1,024 x 600 resolution and likely the same 8GB of storage, even with a 2-megapixel front camera offering a slight upgrade. That feature loadout may make the sales prospects difficult, at least in the UK: Brits will have to pay £180 ($292) versus the £159 ($258) Nexus 7. Let’s hope that any US plans involve a price slash.

Another Photokina star is Samsung’s Galaxy Camera, which launched to much fanfare several weeks ago at IFA, but dominates the company’s photo-themed booth at the biennial photography show in Cologne, Germany. There’s not much more to report on the hardware side, apart from confirmation that certain versions of the Android snapper will pack LTE, but there are indeed some very shiny new finishes to gawk at. First up is a bright orange flavor — if you feared that the Galaxy point-and-shoot’s rather large footprint wouldn’t attract enough attention on its own in the field, you shouldn’t have any such concerns with an orange model. Also of the neon persuasion is a flashy pink version, which like the aforementioned color, should draw many an eye. We were quite pleased with the black and white models we saw at IFA, and while Samsung clearly has a few colorful prototypes in circulation, the company says they’re only being considered at this point, with your feedback determining the final options. So, what do you think? Would you buy an orange or pink Galaxy Camera? Let us know in the comments after the break.
