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+).

In case you missed it, Google made the full SDK for Android 4.1 available for download yesterday, as well as an updated set of SDK tools (20.1.1) and the NDK (rev 8b).

Everything from the buttery smooth performance to Google Now is can be found in the long list of improvements. Now all we need is for the manufacturers and carriers to get moving on pushing this sweet treat out (yea, I know — we’re still waiting on ICS).
