The Android 4.3, JellyBean update has begun rolling out for the Sprint version of the HTC One smartphone.

HTC's USA President Jason Mackenzie confirmed today that Android 4.3 will begin rolling out to HTC One users on Sprint today.

The new update brings Android 4.3 to the device along with a bug fix that corrects a problem users were having with Swype, updates for several Sprint applications and HTC Sense stability improvements.

Android 4.3 updates various aspects of the HTC One including the camera and the content in BlinkFeed.

There is no word on when other carriers will receive the update for the HTC One.

HTC's Jason Mackenzie announced last month that the HTC One would not be updating to Android 4.2.2, JellyBean, instead the device would skip directly to Android 4.3.

Last week he tweeted out a message that confirmed that the software would roll out in the very near future.

"Good news- the latest Sense experience & Android 4.3 will push to One Dev Edition owners this week & One customers in Canada by month end," he wrote.

Verizon rolled out a new software update for the HTC One this week that helps the device to run smoother.

This upgrade does not include Android 4.3 which is expected to hit the device soon in the U.S., but it does result in fewer lock ups and glitches for the handset. This is interesting as reports of those issues with the device haven't been that widespread.

The new update is 33.8MB in size and also brings changes to Verizon's Isis Mobile Wallet, along with adding Internet accessibility for the visually impaired
