Initially the update is going to those devices running the HSPA+ version of the phone, that is the one sold for use on networks such as AT&T and T-Mobile rather than the varieties sold for use on Sprint or Verizon.

Jelly Bean includes Google’s highly personalized assistant app Google Now as well as better notifications and a more accurate software keyboard.

Google had open-sourced Jelly Bean yesterday, and made a preview version of it available on the Galaxy Nexus phones and Nexus 7 tablets given away at Google I/O, but this is the first mass release.

Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ owners will be prompted about the update “over the next several days,” Google said.
