After quite a long time since its official
release, Android 4.2 is finally here for Google's Nexus 7 tablet. If you are one of the
anxious people, you can install it manually right away or simply wait a bit for
the over-the-air update. A post on Google+ today confirmed that Android 4.2 has
begun rolling out for the Nexus 7 and the Galaxy Nexus as an OTA update.
As reported by blog site Android Police, everyone can download
the 4.2 manual installation package as a zip file from Google. Once you've
downloaded the file, you can follow the steps offered by Android Police to
update your tablet. But most users may want to avoid the hassle of a manual
installation and hang on for the just-released OTA update from Google.
The 4.2 brings the support of multi-users
on a single Android 4.2 device. People who share a single device can log in
with their own separate accounts. Each person can have a unique home screen,
background image, and apps.
Meanwhile, Android 4.2 offers a keyboard
that lets you input characters using gliding gestures. It can also display
entire strings of different words as you type to better predict what you want
to type. A 360-degree panoramic photo feature named Photo Sphere helps you
combine different photos in any direction to create a full panorama. And
another 4.2 feature called Miracast takes a page from Apple's AirPlay by
streaming video and audio from your Android phone or tablet to your TV.
