Android is a freight-train. With the announcement of the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 refresh, and the Nexus 10, it should give Android another sizeable boost. Consider the starting prices of each $299, $199, $399. All three together they cost under $900, which is a steal by any metric. And the Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 should be top-of-class performers.

Plus Android 4.2 has some out-of-the-box features that the lay-consumer will love. Features like Photo Shpere comes to mind. Also multiple users is very, very welcome.

But perhaps the biggest news today is that Walmart will be carrying the Nexus 7. Walmart is HUGE. This means that this holiday season, an ultra-cheap and ultra-capable device will be offered at half the cost of the competition. It also opens the door for the retailer to carry the N4 and N7 in time.

Lastly, the Nexus 7 has had a noticeable effect on 'tablet-optimized' apps for Android, and I suspect that the Nexus 10 will continue this growth spurt into the larger form factor.
