This is pretty interesting and I really hope it turns out to be real. Thoughts?

4.2? isn't this little too early? JB is just on 2% and manufacture will push already outdated system for months

4.2 is still jelly Bean. at least according to the server hits.

How they call it does not matter if it has new API level and manufactures will continue to push outdated 4.1 with old API level..... they already do that by still pushing ICS ofcorse at the end it's how important those API changes are, Im happy that at least ICS number increase since it got significant changes which makes Android a lot better... but developers need carriage to implement it to apps

I just got a notification to update system to 4.1.2...is it 4.2 that everyone talks about? Or I'm left out?

 

[jezreel]

Yes because it brings upgrades for camara and other things.

4.1.2 is out for some phones and its just minor fixes.

4.2 is what everyone is talking about and assuming google will announce it (next week?)

That's a cool idea but all I'm really hoping for with the next update is batter life improvements that do to battery life what Project Butter did to speed.

This is not Google's fault. It is the hardware manufacturers fault. Google is investing into their products and pushing the envelop. I think hardware vendors should focus on hardware only and stop developing these "skins" that hold back the operation system. That is why I love my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. To put it in perspective, when I see someone with a Galaxy S3, I actually look down on them. I say to myself, "They don't know any better." I look forward to going from 4.1.2 to 4.2 on my Nexus device.

Carriers hinder the progress of Android truly!
