Samsung in August “confirmed that an update should be headed to your device here ‘very soon’ containing none other than Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.”

Today Samsung said it “continues its commitment to bringing the latest innovation to market with the rollout of Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, the latest version of the world’s most popular smartphone operating system, to all Galaxy S III smartphones in the U.S. in the coming months.”

So Android’s top selling device still isn’t using its latest operating system? How can that happen?

Meanwhile Apple released iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 in September. They’ve sold millions of iPhones and 100 million devices were updated to iOS 6 in the first weekend. That’s how an update is done.
