­Samsung has announced the rollout of the Android 4.1, Jelly Bean software upgrade to all Galaxy S III smartphones in the USA in the coming months.

The update will be made available both over the air and as a download via Kies, Samsung's content sync and software update website. Galaxy S III owners will receive the Jelly Bean update as well as a host of new and enhanced TouchWiz features.

In addition to the operating system update, Samsung and ESPN worked together to integrate AllShare technology into ESPN's ScoreCenter application. This means Galaxy S III owners will now be able to wirelessly push on-demand ESPN sports coverage to a Samsung Smart TV.

Finally, the upgrade will offer NFC one touch pairing, to support NFC Bluetooth accessories in a single touch, allowing users to pair their headset by touching it to the back of the smartphone.

The specific timing and update method will be announced by each carrier partner, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular.
