Google seems to have started rolling out a new Android build on their Nexus 7 model.
This is the latest Android build version 4.1.2 and Nexus 7 seems to be the first model getting it.
Remains to be seen if this update would also be released on their Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S devices.
On the Nexus 7, this update adds support for landscape mode for the home screen. This was something that a lot of users asked. Google has finally delivered it.
