When are we getting 4.2?

Can't wait to get Swype features. I also want to share my tablet with a sibling.

If you really can't wait, you could always just get Swype. I'm not really sure how Google is able to implement so many features that have until recently been performed by apps... if I owned the rights to Swype, I'd be pretty mad (unless there's some compensation going on, in which case I'd probably be very, very happy...)

4.2 is bad ass. I love swype and I'm very sick of typing on my tablet keyboard.

The multiple Lock Screens and Lock Screen widgets sound great...

Ahh.. maybe you will be able to switch accounts from the same screen where you now switch recent apps?

There were talking about not having to log in/log out...

Something like that is my thought, though maybe in the Google now circle since it's otherwise empty and ripe for shortcuts.

For anyone not familiar, it's brought up by dragging upwards from the home button.

Wonder where that second toggle screen goes in portrait mode.

What I anticipated but just implemented in a different area.

Edit: now I remember seeing a leak about a second notification drag down, maybe that is where it will be located on portrait mode.

That multi-user setup looks excellent.

Here is a video showing the testing. Unfortunately, Google's request to removing the link has been complied with, so we can't try it out anymore. The URL I entered has the article.

I'm liking the gesture keyboard so far.. I like how the words spawn on the keyboard to ensure I'm typing the correct word.

I love that floating word prediction. Looks great.

Swiftkey?

The 4.2 keyboard is faster than the latest version of Swype I used (this past June), but it takes a bit to get used to.

I haven't used swype in a while, last I used was slideIT keyboard but the gesture word prediction seems to be pretty good. The floating word prediction is nice, I do not have to move my eyes away from the keyboard. In this ahem preview edition, there is no way to scale the keyboard which I would like to see. Otherwise this feels real smooth and accurate. It's developed by Google while swype is STILL in beta.

I'm really digging this update. I wonder if different accounts can use separate launchers?

I am almost certain that you can use it that way from my understanding about how multiuser works in 4.2.

Perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing then, I've been looking for Wireless display adapter. I have seen the Netgear box though, will that do the job?

NETGEAR PTV2000 Push2TV HD-TV Adapter or NETGEAR PTV3000 Push2TV HD-TV Adapter? Apologies for my ignorance, I'm nowhere near as tech savvy as some of the folk on here....

 

[carracerz14]

Yes. Just look for anything that supports Miracast

Yeah, you're going to have to be sure the adapter supports Miracast, which is pretty new. The netgear box is the only one I've seen so far. Someone linked to a place that had it for like $60 in another thread...

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.
