You might have thought that a brand-new version of Android - 4.1.2, still named Jelly Bean - would be the biggest news in an ANDROID news and rumor roundup, but you'd be wrong. It's an incremental upgrade, at best, from the previous version, and should really only interest Nexus 7 users, who got landscape homescreen orientation at long last.

Still, the note from Jean-Baptiste Queru that confirmed a new power management chip for the Nexus 7 helped fuel rumors about a new Nexus tablet - rumors that had already been percolating since Monday, when an that Samsung and Google were teaming up to develop a 10-inch device with even higher screen resolution than the 3.
