Many Google Now users are being treated to an unexpected surprise: a card that shows you how many miles you’ve walked or biked in any particular month. This is most likely the first month this features has begun tracking but it’s a handy dandy tool to keep track of just how much exercise you’ve been getting. As of right now, reports of accuracy are mixed, but we’re guessing this is due to no one knowing exactly when Google activated the feature.

Google completely revamped the camera app in Android 4.2, adding many new features, including the Photo Sphere 360-degree panorama mode. Google’s teasers left us jelly and wanting the camera app pronto. Lucky for us, Android is full of generous devs who feel we shouldn’t have to wait either. And so, in the spirit of Halloween, here’s a little treat courtesy of those great devs: the official Android 4.2 camera APK for rooted Galaxy Nexus users!

We’ve heard all about the new Nexus devices but what about the updated version of Android that comes with them? Both the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 run Android 4.2 and while it may seem like a small incremental step, there’s actually a whole slew of new features to get excited about. In fact, this is actually the first time I’m more excited about the software than I am the hardware.

The Nexus 10 is next on our list of Nexus devices announced by Google today. Unlike the smaller Nexus 7 tablet, the Nexus 10 features 10-inches (10.55-inches to be exact) of WQXGA 2560 x 1600 display (300 ppi) goodness. This, of course, increases the price of the device, taking it well out of the sub-$300 tablet category that’s been spoiling us.

Despite the fact that Google had to cancel today’s Nexus event, they have gone ahead and released all the info on the next batch of Nexi. The LG Nexus 4 has been unveiled and now has a landing page on Google Play. You’ve probably gathered all you need to know from the plethora of leaks we’ve seen, but I’ll go over the official list of specs and pricing for those of you just finding out about LG’s very first Nexus device.
