Hebrew vowel point alignment fixed in Android 4.2
An often reported issue is the misaligned vowel points in hebrew text in the Android apps. This issue has been addressed at a system level in the latest release of Android (4.2). Hopefully the number of Android devices running 4.2 will grow quickly and hardware and mobile providers will upgrade existing devices to this latest version of Android.
If proper layout of Hebrew and other RTL text is an important feature for you consider make sure any new Android devices you are considering are running Android version 4.2 or later. This currently includes:
LG Nexus 4
Samsung Nexus 10
I would suspect other Nexus devices like the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 to be among the first devices to receive an over the air (OTA) update to Android 4.2. Hopefully many more devices will follow.

Thanks for the heads up.
I've been frustrated by this on my Android phone, and I can tell you there's no way that I will buy any further Android device lower than 4.2!

oh man, I should've read this before buying [:(] I bought Logos to be used in my androids, and all are lower than Android version 4.2. Any chance if they will attempt a solution for devices lower than Android version 4.2?

I can't speak for Google but I expect their answer would be "no".
