Someone forgot to tell their marketing team: http://www.google.com/nexus/ Edit: Basically the website still has old info about old devices.

Will phones get this? Or other-size tablets? Does anyone know when the 4.2 update will go out?
Nope :-( "Available only on tablets.", see http://www.android.com/whatsnew/ New versions of Android usually roll out to Nexus devices days or weeks after the release of the new hardware. So you should expect November 13th + X days.
In that case, :( and :). Thanks for the reply!

#84And someone finally implements the killer-feature for the "Family Tablet": Multi-Account Support: > But what makes Nexus 10 unique is that it's the first truly shareable tablet. With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone ca…
And just $399 for the 16 GB version!

Yeah, these prices look almost too good to be true. Other Android vendors may be getting some serious indigestion from this.
Nexus 7 devices are being sold at a loss, so I suppose in one sense yes, the price there is too good to be true.

Back in June... and only for the $199 model...

#86With regards to tablets, one of the next major battlegrounds is going to be in the enterprise, with Apple, Google, and Microsoft duke-ing it out. From that perspective, Surface makes a whole lot more sense. If they can perfect Surface, they will be in a fierce position to defend their enterprise territory.
With regards to the emerging enterprise tablet market, Google is playing serious catch-up. If Microsoft can come late to the game, but demonstrate the tenacity they have in the past, they might pull another "IE over Netscape" on Apple.

via Gizmodo: Quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 display, and an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera. Impressive indeed!
It's interesting they havent' done a front facing camera. That's big with the tween crowd. Edit: I meant rear facing on the Nexus 7. Not front facing.
Nexus 4, 7 & 10 have a front facing camera. (Nexus 7 doesn't have a rear facing camera though)

#88I have Galaxy Nexus. I was thinking of upgrading to the Nexus 4, for better battery life. But, LTE is missing from the device. On the other hand, the price is great. I wish Google used some muscle to make carriers bend towards Google's needs. I am grandfathered into a Verizon unlimited plan, and would love to stay.
I am excited to see the screen on the Nexus 4.

#89By launching three flagship devices with three different manufacturers (LG, Asus and Samsung), do you think they are trying to say something about Android and hardware?
That hardware (manufacturing) is a commodity? I think they already know, judging from the inane modified android UIs they put on their handsets.
I think it would be more important to break the "you are just a dumb pipe" news to the mobile carriers. They still have illusions.

Hopefully it will be available on phones, as a 'Guest' mode would be perfect for lending your phone to someone to make a quick call or text message.
Nope :-( "Available only on tablets.", see http://www.android.com/whatsnew/
Well that's disappointing. I suppose they thought the UI was too confusing to put it on smaller screens?
