Last week, we told you about recent sightings of Android 4.2.2 running on the LG Nexus 4 in Brazil.

Us lucky users who are privileged enough to be on Android 4.1+ (Jellybean) have been able to enjoy a special widget from Google (without rooting that is)– the Sound Search widget. Essentially it’s the same as SoundHound, where it listen to a song that is playing and tries to determine information about the song, and point you to the song in the Play Store.
