When are we getting 4.2?

I've so far only been able to find the Netgear boxes in America, not been able to find any for sale in the UK, very weird. Don't really fancy paying the shipping from the US.

Swiftkey is way better. Swype is great for 1 handed typing while you're driving, but hey, that's illegal. I like typing with 2 thumbs and Swype is TERRIBLE at that. Swiftkey completely blows almost all keyboards out of the water. It's text prediction and correction is simply amazing.

I use swift key 3 on my phone and tablet. But I was referring to the new Google gesture keyboard and if it was better

That's because you only use one finger to swype..

I agree, Swiftkey is my favorite keyboard... but I do not use it. I like to glide, so I use Swype. I was excited about the recently announced glide option on SwiftKey, but now I am even more excited about the stock keyboard including the ability to glide. I'm all about uninstalling some 3rd party keyboard apps, if the stock one does what I want

I got excited when I heard about swiftkey glide but now I want to use Google gesture instead. Looking forward to the finished product.

After using a swiping method, I can't go back to tap, tap, tapping.

This is big...

4.2 has the ability to scan side loaded apps for malware...

4.2 is looking sweeter by the day...

Same here. I don't know how someone can just tap away. I also use a stylus and I don't think people realize how slow it is typing with one.

BTW I have swiftkey now and it sucks. It never predicts anything correctly and if I want to use the text prediction I have to press a letter, see if my word was predicted and if not then I have to push the next letter, then again look for the prediction in the box and then repeat 3 times before it gets the right word. It takes less time just typing everything out.

The net gear unit that works with it is only like 59 bucks.

I got the NetGear PTV3000 that was the $59 device. I am still on Android 4.1.2 and it will connect to the PTV3000 but and I can see the PTV3000 screen on my HDTV. Problem is I think we need the Miracast/WIDI support that comes from Android 4.2 since I can connect my N7 to the PTV3000 but it doesn't log in at this point where I confirm my password of the wifi to make the handshake. Had the same issue on my new ASUS laptop that I upgraded to Windows 8 and right now I hate Windows 8 since it didn't fix the WIDI issue but gave me 50 new problems to correct.

i would like to hear more about it when 4.2 is released for Nexus devices. because i am planning to buy one too. Miracast is cool.

my question is can i share screens? can i share just video and music and at the same time lock my phone screen or do something else on phone?
