JellyBean For Note 10.1 USA Version

I ran into a Samsung Representative in my local Best Buy and asked about the JB update for the Note 10.1. He told me that it is supposed to be out by the end of January....I know, we've been danced down this road before. He also said that the new ones were are shipping out with JB already on them. Not sure I believe it without seeing it, and if they are it pisses me off. If there is a JB release why is it not good enough for the ones who already own the tablet?

Check out XDA, users reported new Note 10.1 coming with JB on it already, just as the rep told you.

Doubting Thomas.

I always doubt claims like these until there is proof. There has been to many false reports over the course of the android timeline.

I did go back an go through the posts and find both posters had given screenshots. And they both match - all of the kernel info, build numbers and new layout of the side menu. There does appear to be truth to this...I am was wrong.

Looking at the kernel version number, it has a date of 11/30/2012, so these must have just installed on these devises and shipped out very quickly. Hopefully that Samsung Rep was right and it will be out no later than the end of this month. Funny...his Note 10.1 that he was carrying around was still on ICS, at least he is in the same boat with us.


Here are the posts with the screenshots if anyone is interested:

Also someone with a new Note with jellybean allowed the developers to get a system dump, so they're creating a ROM which should be read soon.
