I just powered mine on, turned on wi-fi and saw an update prompt. So I hit install, not knowing what it is. I'm wondering if it's 4.2! As it's installing I see this post, then read the article. Awesome! My TF300 is currently doing the "optimizing app..." part. I'm anxious to see how 4.2 looks on this tablet! I'll report back!

Whoohoo, photo dump time!

Here's the screenshot before the update.

Here's the completed message.

The new numbers.

The updated Easter Egg.

The new on-screen keyboard.

The slightly modified app drawer.

The Daydream settings.

The slightly better security measure(s).

New lock screen.

The new notification bar.

The new toggle bar.

The new launcher.

And this screenshot was because of the way the new launcher displays the Menu button.

Notes:

-Yes, you can stay with the old launcher if you so desire, you can choose to go back and forth at anytime really with just a simple reboot.
-I have yet to fully test out my ASUS TF300T and check for the known bugs it used to have.
-I plan to stress test it in the morning.
-I have yet to mess with Photosphere and other 4.2.1 goodies.

Goodnight everyone, hope the screenshots help you decide if you want to update or not.

Okay, I lied, I just had to stress test it!

But I will OperationA7X test it later.

I don't care for the new launcher. I went back to the old one. Other than that I like the having the same features as on my Nexus 4. I haven't tested everything out yet.

can't wait to get home from work and try this out. Might be worth losing root access for a short time.

I did not find Photosphere, the Recent Apps screen is done with a bit more animation, and the stock web browser automatically dims when loading a page to save battery. Neat!

One thing I noticed.. The lock screen clock doesn't have that horrible bolded hour that the nexus devices have. Good for you, Asus!

Careful, if you remove that widget you get stuck worth the bold one only as far as I can tell. :-(
