Hopefully this starts the ball rolling on Android tablet apps. I really love my Nexus 7, but the app selection is definitely inferior to what's available for iOS.

Luckily any tablet you choose will have significant tracking capabilities...
Apple isn't in the business of exploiting your private data to advertise products/services/content from third parties at you though. The incentives are completely different.
And to be honest im fine with google having my data they have a solid record for keeping things in line.

#104Flagship Android device, unlocked, without contract, for $299. Impressive. From the marketing video it looks like Android 4.2 gained Swype-like keyboard. It seems that they're no longer using tablet UI, even on Nexus 10 (i.e. it has status bar on top, navigation buttons are in the middle of the screen). That's weird, and I definitely don't like it, but it might not be that big of a problem.
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!

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/

#106As expected, very little support for other countries (specifically Canada where I am). Movie purchases, and HSPA, but no magazines or TV shows, no google music. Nexus 4 not available in Canada. [edit]Correction - magazines now available in Canada (Woohoo!) they just didn't say so. Now, can we please have google music?

I won't, but I think my girlfriend will upgrade her Nexus S. She's not thrilled by the increasing screen sizes though. And I agree that a smaller option would be nice. I refuse to consider anything other than a Nexus device though so I guess I'm stuck.
I have the same issue. I’m on a Nexus S as well and it’s starting to show its age with the latest operating system and apps. But the form factor is great, and all these newer flagship phones are huge.
I'll be getting the Nexus 4 once it's out, but like both of you, the screen size is the biggest drawback for me.
I really hope Google realizes that bigger is not always better!

I remember reading that they considered a new name, but they didn't feel like the feature updates were strong enough to warrant it. Which is refreshing actually. The post did call it an update to jellybean.
Then they should have only bumped minor version.
e.g. X.Y.X where:
X = Major, Y = Minor, X = Bugfix/Patch/...
