20 million Galaxy S IIIs sold, next step is the Jelly Bean update

Zack already reported this morning on the news that the Samsung Galaxy S III hit 20 million in sales in just 100 days. This is a major figure for Android smartphones, although it pales in comparison to the analyst prediction that the iPhone 5 will sell 10 million in the first week. The next step to continue to satisfy all of these Galaxy S III owners, including me, is to release the Jelly Bean update. With news on leaks, such as those on Ubergizmo for the T-Mobile update it looks like we will see this Jelly Bean update much sooner than we have seen updates from Samsung in the past.
I enjoy using my Galaxy S III and keep putting my SIM back into it because it is a FAST phone, maintains a great connection to T-Mobile HSPA+, has WiFi Calling support, and takes good photos. I know I could hack my GSIII and get Jelly Bean on it now, but I am waiting to first see how the official update works. As an owner of the Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean I mostly look forward to Google Now and the outstanding voice support. I NEVER use S Voice because it usually ends up frustrating the heck out of me. With the Galaxy S III on all major US carriers, the update likely won't be rolling out at the same time because it has to pass wireless carrier testing first.
