AT&T to begin pushing OTA Jelly Bean update to Galaxy S III users today

Owners of the [Samsung Galaxy S III](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/) on AT&T have had the opportunity to [download and install](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/03/jelly-bean-now-available-for-att-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/) Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) since early December, but the rollout was kept rather quiet and the ROM was limited to ambitious souls willing to install and use [Kies](http://www.engadget.com/tag/kies) -- Samsung's proprietary desktop software -- to get it. Finally, AT&T has told us that an OTA (over-the-air) update will be available beginning today to anyone who is still using Ice Cream Sandwich, though it'll require a WiFi connection. Still, this is a much better situation for the vast majority of GS3 users who may not have even realized that an update was even offered to them in the first place.
