Nobody even talking about the android 4.2 features lol
Wireless Display
Android 4.2 is making watching content on your big-screen easier — without wires. You can watch movies, YouTube videos, or any of your Android’s screen on any HDTV. If your TV supports the Miracast standard you’re all set, if not all you need is a wireless display for your TV.

Multi-user Support
You know what I hate? Handing my tablet over to one of my kids to keep them entertained “for a few minutes” only to discover that their “entertainment” was changing my wallpaper, rearranging my icons, and messing up my tablet! No more!
In Android 4.2 you can now set up multiple users, so everybody can have their own space. They can set their wall own homescreen and wallpaper, widgets and apps, and they can even have individual high scores and levels on their games. (It sounds like each user will have to buy their own copy of apps, but this has yet to be confirmed.)
Alas, this feature is for tablets only — at least until the custom ROMmers get ahold of it!

Daydream
If you’ve got a dock for your phone or tablet you’re probably under-impressed by the fact that, when docked, your device is essentially a “big desk-clock”. Android 4.2′s “Daydream feature” lets you display your photo albums or even news from Google Currents and “more”. Not only that, apparently this feature works when docked or when “idle” — though we’re not quite certain what “idle” means.

Google Now got a HUGE update. It can now tell you more information about flights, hotels, restaurant reservations, events, shipped packages, movies, concerts, stocks, developing and breaking news stories, and even nearby attractions and photo spots.
Google Search
Introducing the Knowledge Graph - YouTube
For Android 4.2, Google Search gets a new look and is powered by something they’re calling Knowledge Graph, which tries to give you “a precise answer” to all your questions.
Wireless Charging Standard?
The Nexus 4 includes wireless charging (which some us us a Pocketnow think is über-cool and others think is a big yawn). Regardless, it stands to reason that extra bits were added to Android codebase to enable and control the wireless charging components tucked inside the Nexus 4. This could potentially speed adoption of charging without wires, and make it more of a standard among Android-powered devices. Curiously, the Nexus 10 tablet makes no mention of wireless charging.

Update: T-Mobile Confirms Nexus 4 HSPA+ 42Mbps Connectivity | | TmoNewsTmoNews
Update: T-Mobile Confirms Nexus 4 HSPA+ 42Mbps Connectivity | | TmoNewsTmoNews
Update: According to Googles press release, the Play Store Nexus 4 does in fact have HSPA+ 42Mbps connectivity as well, its the Play Store specs that are incorrect.
In an effort to clear up some confusion, Ive re-confirmed with T-Mobile that the Nexus 4 sold by T-Mobile will have HSPA+ 42Mbps connectivity on board. Thats different from the Google Play store which indicates the Nexus 4 will have HSPA+ 21Mbps. There doesnt appear to be any other differences between the T-Mobile and Play Store models, other than the radio. Moreover, its entirely possible that the Play Store specs are remnants of the Galaxy Nexus and will be updated to show the radio later on. Then again, that may be wishful thinking and the unlocked version may in fact only be 21Mbps.
To clear up one more question, the T-Mobile edition of the Nexus 4 is bone stock, no add-ons, bloatware or carrier branding. You can take a peek at the Fact Sheet below which indicates all the T-Mobile related material on the Nexus 4. In other words, there doesnt seem to be any differences between the T-Mobile Nexus 4 and the unlocked Nexus 4 purchased from the Play Store, other than the HSPA+ radio.
The Nexus 4 is the latest device in the Google Nexus lineup, and T-Mobile will be the premier U.S. launch partner. With cutting-edge hardware designed collaboratively by LG and Google, favorite Google Apps, and the latest version of Android, Nexus 4 puts the best of Google in the palm of a customers hand. And, with access to T-Mobiles fastest 4G (HSPA+42) network, T-Mobile is again giving its customers the best choice of devices. Nexus 4 comes with a high-performance 8MP camera and takes stunning Photo Sphere images to capture every detail of the world. The all-new camera lets customers quickly view and edit photos with powerful new tools, and share favorite shots in a snap. When combined with T-Mobiles Value plans or T-Mobiles Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan, the Nexus 4 gives consumers a top-notch Android experience.
