Google cuts the price of the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ to $349, adds Jelly Bean

![Google cuts the price of the HSPA Galaxy Nexus to $349, adds Jelly Bean][1]

Jeez Louise, Google's 2012 I/O [opening keynote][2] has barely begun and much of the news has already [leaked][3] [out][4] on the company's own Play Store. Add this to the list: Google is dropping the price of the [HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus][5] to $349 from $399, and is updating its flagship phone with the next, soon-to-be-unveiled version of Android, [Jelly Bean][6]. That screenshot up there should answer some of your most likely questions, but here's the short version: it'll be compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile in the US, and roughly 200 other GSM carriers everywhere else in the world (no surprise here). As for the software, well, we have enough early intel about Jelly Bean to know that's Android 4.1 running on a seven-month-old handset. As for what that jump from 4.0 to 4.1 entails, you can expect quite a few stories from us, but this [official announcement][7] should be as good a place as any to start.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
