Google had the Nexus 7 on its mind when it pushed out a couple updates today. First up was Gmail, which didn’t include much other than improved support for 7″ devices (running Android 4.0+).

The moment many Google Wallet users have been waiting for has finally arrived. Users now have the ability to add any debit or credit card to their Google Wallet account thanks to today’s update. Google has moved the app to the cloud to provide a more secure method of storing your card information. Now, instead of using the secure storage area on your phone, Google stores your payment cards on highly secure Google servers.
