Google has just released the Android 4.1 source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for people to take a peek at, poke at, and port over to various devices. CyanogenMod team, start your engines.
The release is the first foray into the full official release of Jelly Bean, allowing anyone to download the code and compile. The code currently includes proprietary binaries that allow 4.1 to be compiled for the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, while the Nexus S and Motorola Xoom binaries are on their way soon too.
It also looks like the CynanogenMod team can finally get their hands dirty and start the wheels turning, as many salivate in anticipation of the next version of the ever-popular ROM to install on their device of choice. [AndroidCentral]

The race is on!
Samsung, CM, who will be the first to give me a decent port of JB?
Samsung, pull your socks up. I want this beamed into my S3 NAAAAOW!
I don’t want to wait until Q4. I WANT IT NOW
I’m SO SICK of this stale old Android 4.0.whatever crap. I’m sick to bloody death of all this fragmentation. I’ve had ICS for about 2 years/weeks and it’s just so buggy and terrible now that Jelly Bean is out.
Should have got a Nexus (waves Jellybean in Kauzion’s face)
I’ll take the better hardware associated with the SIII and a CM port thanks
I’m sure that once the SG3 gets JB it will be great but while CM are pretty damn fast at getting code out they haven’t even finalised CM9 yet, so while the gap won’t be as bad as it was between CM7 & 9 it will still be a while. all that time I shall be enjoying super fast, super smooth Jellybean goodness.
By the way, isn’t you Avatar a gnome rather than an elf?
Also true, but they’ve said themselves that they’ve completely refined the dev’t process with CM9, and the delta between ICS & JB shouldn’t be so much that it takes an age.
I’d expect a relatively swift lockdown of CM9, with nightlies appearing at the end of the summer, which is what I’ll be running anyway!
Back in the days of offline MS clipart, this was the result that was returned when you searched for an elf, and it stuck
You had maybe ginger bread not ICS, ICS was released November last year. Even ginger bread was not buggy.
I think you’ve missed the point – owning a Galaxy SIII, he can only ever have had ICS, for a whole 6 weeks at most!
You are right, the year/week confused moi.
Heh. Perhaps my sarcasm didn’t traverse the tubes properly.
I was making the old point about how we are always happy with something that works perfectly, until something newer comes out, at which point we suddenly desperately want that instead.
One of those days for me.
I want my Nexus 7 NOOOOWWWW!
Bah!
I’m still waiting for something a bit newer than Gingerbread on my ol’ Galaxy Ace
Not even Cyanogen offer a proper ICS release on that phone, sucks so much man
