Hi all,
A very quick update this week. Unfortunately we are still investigating the issue identified with the Galaxy Nexus Jelly Bean update. We hope to have more information early week commencing 21 January. Apart from that the status of each of the updates is in the table below. There is not a great deal of change as the test team have only just come back on board after the holiday break.
Great news for some!
