Android 4.2 JellyBean MR1 is now available to devices like Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, Nexus 10. Hopefully, Google will open source it to the community, and we will see a wide adoption of Android 4.2 among ROMs like Cyanogenmod, ParanoidAndroid, etc.

If you’re a developer, you probably had hard time figuring out what happened to the “Developer Options” in Settings. Google has decided to hide this option by default and focus more on the user, perhaps. Since most users would never understand what it is about, it better off hidden, under the hood.
