My Nexus has informed me that it has downloaded Android 4.2.2. and that I can install it, but I'm holding off until I know it is 'safe', by which I mean will all my apps still work? I ask, because when my brother bought his Nexus a few months ago and was bumper up to 4.2.1, iPlay stopped working for a while. So I'm prepared to wait with the upgrade until word comes through that other apps will not stop working. Any thoughts?

4.2.2 seems to just be a few bugfixes and a couple of small UI tweaks. I cant see many (if any apps) having problems.
they do that. not sure why but it takes a few days to reach everyone.
I've heard they stagger the release so that they don't overload the update servers.
People say that. But Google have a lot of bandwidth. I mean they run YouTube.
That'll just be because of the way sky go checks the version numbers. They are absolutely paranoid about screen mirroring so they only let it run on a whitelist of version numbers and device combinations.
The download notification (top left drop down) now shows estimated time to download
Two new sounds one for charging on the docking station and one for low battery and a USB debug feature (more for the phones i believe)
A couple of sites have said that somehow they have managed to extend battery life too but i have yet to notice anything on the notifications.
All seems to be working fine anyway, still massively impressed by this little machine.
I've been able to tether with bluetooh using 4.2..... not got the new one yet.
If you have bluetooth on all the devices you want to use, its a much more battery friendly way to tether.
Tethering works fine as before.
I didn't even know you could tether using bluetooth ! Does it allow you to do what Wifi does ?
