Even though HBO released the update for Android as promised, there is still some bad news. The Nexus 7 tab is just around the corner and will feature the Jelly Bean firmware of Android. Therefore, this application will not be available for the Nexus 7 users for now. However, there are rumors that the Nexus 7 tab will soon get the support. The app also runs quite well on Android smartphones but it requires a minimum screen size of 3.5 inches.
