Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S start receiving Android 4.1.2 over the air

When Android 4.1.2 hit the airwaves for upgrades, it was limited to a [very exclusive](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/09/android-4-1-2-goes-live-gives-nexus-7-owners-landscape-home-screen/) club of [Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/) owners. Google has widened the gates considerably as of today: we're receiving multiple reports of GSM-based [Galaxy Nexus](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/) and [Nexus S](http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/) owners getting the new [Jelly Bean](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/android-4-1-jelly-bean-review-a-look-at-whats-changed-in-googl/) build through official, over-the-air channels. Upgrades here aren't as noticeable as they are on the reference Android tablet; besides fixes, we've mostly heard that it's now possible to expand a notification with a single finger. Those with CDMA-based phones are left out so far, but if you discover any surprise extras before 4.1.2 hits our own devices, be sure to leave us a tip.
