Samsung

Samsung has already issued the following statement regarding upgrades to new versions of the Android OS – although unfortunately it doesn't give us any clues on when we may see Jelly Bean land on devices, or indeed which ones will get it.

"In the case that a new version of an Android operating system is publicly announced and released, Samsung will review the possibility of implementation to existing Samsung products with the Android operating system ('Update').

"Such a review will be based on various factors including, the overall effect of the update to Samsung products, the system requirements, the structural limitations, and the level of cooperation from the component suppliers and the software licensors.

"If Samsung decides to make the update available to the users it will be released upon successful completion of development."

Google though confirmed in its keynote that Android 4.1 would be coming to the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus in mid-July.
