4.2 is getting a security update also. There will be a built in anti virus scanner, which you can opt in/out. The permissions page will be much more user friendly to understand and also there will be an alert if an app tries to send an SMS message to a premium service. First time hearing of it today but here is the article.

It was posted in AC front page a few days ago Android 4.2 brings new security features to scan sideloaded apps | Android Central .
also this was uncovered a month ago by some developer looking at the apk [APK Teardown] The Play Store Is Getting A Built-In Malware Scanner, Wish List Progress, And More.

I just ordered my Netgear PTV3000 for pickup at my local BestBuy on Saturday. I can't wait to get miracast running. Some online stores are already out of stock.

OK. Someone please explain miracast. Just bought a new fancy Samsung Smart-TV. Up to my chin figuring out what I need to use it well. Special router, Roku, sling, nomad, now miracast. Heaven help the helpless and overwhelmed and tech-challenged! Y Nexus 7 is what started all this!

I felt I needed a good explanation earlier today myself actually, and that link made it all clear

And for those of you telling others "you don't need av/security on your Nexus 7, just a waste of space and performance hit", make note of this line in the BGR link above.

The Android platform has been targeted with malware more than any other mobile operating system, however with the latest Jelly Bean software version, Google doing more than ever to keep users safe.

Isn't most of this from side loaded apps? Google also does a scan of apps before they are placed into the Play store.

NVM...wrong thread

Factory image is already up on https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, installed yesterday and still kills tethering (same as 4.1). Much faster and better overall performance..but haven't had much time to play

What do you mean it kills tethering? Does it not allow me to use wi-fi tether from my phone for the internet?

 

[monkcee]

sorry..wrong thread!

Yeah, Miracast will be cool. ... When standard-compliant Miracast devices are available. Read Phil's N4 review to see how far he got with one the NetGear Push2TV devices.

Anyone know what is the best mirror cast adapter to get asap?
