When I picked my Nexus 7 up this morning, I saw the following message letting me know that the update was available.

A neat customizable DayDream feature that makes your lock screen live and provides updated info from you favorite apps, pictures and more. And of course the update improves overall stability and performance of the tablet.
The update took less than 10 minutes, but after Jelly Bean is updated, several of the installed apps will need updates too. If you have a lot of apps, you’ll be seeing quite a few update notifications.
If you don’t have the patience to wait for the Over the Air update, you can download and install the update manually. But if you’re new to Android, I suggest waiting for it to come to your tablet. By now I would assume most people should have it.
For a detailed look at the new features included with this update, check out Android 4.2 What’s New. If you’ve updated to the new version of Jelly Bean, leave us a comment and let us know your favorite new feature, or what’s not working right. This might be me, but one thing I think it’s doing better is switching from Portrait to Landscape view more quickly? But that might be a placebo effect of downloading something new :-) Comment Name * Email *
