Following the release of the latest additions to its hardware range - the Nexus 4 handset and Nexus 10 tablet - earlier this week, Google delighted owners of two of its older products by announcing that they would be on the receiving end of a quickfire software update. Both the Galaxy Nexus smartphone and Nexus 7 mini-tablet were made privy to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean in the last couple of days, and now rumors are starting to swirl hinting that two of 2012's highest-profile Android devices, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, are being lined up for a trip to the recently refurbished sweet shop in early-2013. The speculation originates at Samsung fan site Sam Mobile, which reports that an "insider" has informed them of a Q1 2013 arrival date for the Galaxy Jelly Bean 4.2 updates in question. However unreliable anonymous sources can be, this seems to be a realistic time frame, and the Korean tech giant has already gone on the record as saying that it is currently prepping Android 4.2 updates. "We will announce roll out plans for Android 4.2 to our Galaxy portfolio of devices in due course," a Samsung spokesperson said.
