Official JELLYBEAN info thread.

Good point OTD. Moto/Google will more than likely release a device with JB on it from stock before they start upgrading current devices.

Maybe. They definitely WILL either release a new Nexus phone or upgrade the Galaxy Nexus before other devices get updated. Depending on how much of an upgrade Jellybean is from ICS, it will probably be 3-6 months before the first non-Nexus devices get the update.

Well, according to the post (did you read it?) they've released it for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ unless I'm misreading it. It will also be out for older Nexus devices soon, so yes, it will hit the Nexus first, including the Nexus 7 which is shipping later this month with JB installed. Obviously, this is all according to that link.

And I'm encouraged: "Up next for Jelly Bean: ...Motorola Xoom...." If it's like ICS, the Wifi version, which I have, it'll go early in the process, since they don't have to deal with VZW.
