HTC 'preparing' Jelly Bean update for One XL and One S, no date yet

[![HTC 'preparing' Jelly Bean update for One XL and One S, no date yet][1] ][2]

HTC has a long history of both [raising][3] and [dashing][4] hopes of Android upgrades on its devices. Moreover, the Australian network Telstra has often led that [emotional][5] [rollercoaster][6], which means the detail on its software update page above is probably best approached with an air of detached calm. It tells us that both the HTC One XL (the global version of the American [One X][7]) and the [One S][8] have official Jelly Bean updates being "prepared" by HTC -- which is slightly more specific than what we [last heard][9] on this subject, when the manufacturer said it was "excited" about Google's latest OS version and planned to support it "across a variety" of handsets. If you happen to own a non-LTE, Tegra 3-based [One X][10], then the absence of that handset on the list doesn't mean much -- that model simply isn't part of the carrier's line-up.

[Thanks, Will]
