Android 4.1 Jelly Bean preview download is live, probably won't work on your Galaxy Nexus -- yet

[![Android 41 Jelly Bean preview download is live, probably won't work on your Galaxy Nexus yet][1] ][2]

Google has opted to deliver [Android 4.1 Jelly Bean][3] as an OTA update to the ICS already on the Nexus phones and [tablets][4] it just handed everyone at I/O 2012, and there's a manual download link available too. As _Android Police_ notes, only GSM phones running the IMM330D firmware will take the update (which you probably don't have, although a fresh phone from the initial Google Play run might work.) With this release already in the wild it's surely only a matter of time before various third parties open it up to a wider variety of hardware. As always with early and somewhat untested software YMMV, keep an eye on those _XDA Developers_ threads for the latest updates.
