So I'm loving my tf700, but supprised is still 4.1. Has there been any sign of 4.2 coming?

No thank you, I'd rather keep 4.1 with the streamlining updates Asus keeps sending us. For the moment 4.2 seems like a step backwards.
You can have that now with Switch Me if you want though.
The new multi user support creates lags when a second user is added. The fix? Remove second user ... :laugh: Gotta love googles betas!
4.2 is a keeper for me, mainly because of Google's swype-style keyboard. It's excellent.
Google replaced the Bluetooth stack in 4.2 and effectively destroyed Bluetooth on many devices. Google is now trying to correct the problem and have announced that 4.2.2 will be out shortly, whatever that means, and have a fix.
So I would think that no devices will be getting 4.2 for some time until Google works out its self-caused Bluetooth disaster.

I own a nexus 7 in addition to a TF700. It is running 4.2.1. The new Bluetooth stack brings back lag on streaming audio - particularly Neflix
There are partial fixes like occasionally clearing the cache on the Bluetooth service/software, and frequently restarting Bluetooth - but its a pain and it doesn't work well.
So be careful what you wish for....
The stock ASUS keyboard also has Swype-like feature, admittedly it is nowhere as good as Google's 4.2 keyboard. Nevertheless, I personally don't like swype on tablets, since it is a lot more tiring on tablets, I have to slide my fingers on a very big screen. To me swype makes a lot more sense on phones.

I think it is safe to say that our discussion is based mainly on personal experience, which explains the difference in our opinions. From what I can understand, your experiences are from using Nexus devices, while devices I have used are mainly HTC and Samsung. I have used every single version of Android since 2.1 to the latest 4.2.2 (on my Sensation, abeit through CM10.1), and to me 4.2 is the version that has the biggest problem with Bluetooth performance, among other things. And frankly, if you follow tech blogs like Engadget, The Verge, etc..., you ought to realize that there are quite a lot of articles talking about bugs that 4.2 introduces (probably as much as iOS 6). Seriously, ICS and 4.1 did not manage to attract that kind of attention.
