Sprint users with a second-generation Samsung Galaxy Tab are in for a nice little treat today: The carrier said it will start rolling out an update to bring Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 software to the tablet.
Sprint, which promises "stunning graphical capabilities" with the Android update, said it will be pushed wirelessly to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 users in the next few weeks.
Once the update is downloaded, users will gain access to several expanded features, including Google Now, which provides information on real-time data such as traffic and train times. Other new perks includes smoother transitions between home screen and apps -- Sprint says it's like "turning pages of a book" -- and notifications that can prompt actions directly from the notifications panel.
Widgets will also have the ability to morph into the appropriate size to make sure there's enough room on the screen.
The news comes as Samsung plans to launch its much buzzed-about Galaxy IV smartphone, which is said to have an an eye-scrolling feature.
