Landed on mine this morning. It's very nice.

The swipe keyboard works much better than I expected.

Multiuser switching is also fantastic. Makes sharing the tablet with the wife much easier.

Yeah, I got it yesterday as well. Lovely update. The new keyboard replaced Swype for me, just as I thought it couldn't get any better. It feels so ancient to use my iPhone now that I'm used to the Nexus 7... can't wait for N4 restock!

Unless you have installed some custom ROM or a different kernel you should still get the automatic update even if it's rooted.

I didn't get the update yet either on my non rooted Nexus7.

found this http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/13/3639462/galaxy-nexus-android-4-2-ota-download and updated successfully.

I bought my Nexus a week ago and love it! I've checked for updated daily including today and it doesn't find this update. I don't know why, are they limiting it to certain parts of the country or something?

Yep, I got the OTA yesterday evening. It's a nice update.

  • I love the lockscreen widgets - it's half baked now, but it has great potential. Can't wait to see third party apps on the lockscreen.
  • I also love the new clock - no more third party apps for stopwatch/timer, and love the clock design
  • I also love daydream - nice to have my clock displayed while the device is charging. Wish they sold docks like the HP Touchpad had. Come on ASUS/Samsung, use those freaking pogo pins!
  • Keyboard is nice - gesture swipes are nice to have. Personally I won't use it that much, as I wasn't really into Swype, but it's nice to have on the stock keyboard.
  • Haven't tried the camera, as the apps isn't available on the Nexus 7. Will try it on my Galaxy Nexus, once it hits CyanogenMod

Android is really evolving, even with minor updates.

It restores the shortcut to activate the camera.

Cool, thanks. I installed it to the N7, unfortunately, I left it at home, so will check it later.

    • I still use speccy on windows systems as a quick sysinfo thing. I know there's better but really it was the first one I used of its type
    • Google Chrome 149.0.7827.201 (offline installer) by Razvan Serea The web browser is arguably the most important piece of software on your computer.

Use one box for everything--type in the address bar and get suggestions for both search and Web pages. Thumbnails of your top sites let you access your favorite pages instantly with lightning speed from any new tab. Desktop shortcuts allow you to launch your favorite Web apps straight from your desktop. Chrome has many useful features built in, including automatic full-page translation and access to thousands of apps, extensions, and themes from the Chrome Web Store. Google Chrome is one of the best solutions for Internet browsing giving you high level of security, speed and great features.

    • Fire and rehire. Doubt the work contracts are as favourable. Smart tactic using AI to do it legally.
    • > And, of course, it includes in-game purchases. Sigh.. of course it does. I just don't understand why anyone would want to play this on PC, when the far superior AoE 2/DE exists. Just kill this with fire already. Or a trebuchet.
    • Normally you'd just want to use Ventoy, but Rufus is handy when: - Ventoy doesn't work (some BIOSes can be weird) - You're mainly interested in creating a single Windows live USB and not interested in a multi-boot / Linux USBs - You want to automate your Windows installations (Rufus supports creating/injecting an autounattend.xml file which fully automates a Windows install). You can do this with Ventoy as well, but it requires a bit more of an effort. Also worth nothing is that both automatically bypass Windows 11's artificially imposed restrictions (TPM, CPU etc).
