How've you been, Jelly Bean? The latest version of Android has arrived on the Google Nexus 7, so we give our verdict in ear-stroking podcast form.
Join the CNET UK team to thrash out this question and many others as we update our software with the latest news and opinions.
Rich, Luke and Andy discuss the news that the Nokia 808 PureView won't be offered by UK networks, creating the Nexus 7 was like torture, and it'll cost £20 to appeal if you're accused of online piracy. Plus we point you in the direction of the cool stuff on CNET UK this week, including the week's Phone News.
Andy skydives with the Google Glass Explorer Edition high-tech specs, Luke is next with the Nexus 7, and Rich ditches a Doctor Who sonic screwdriver remote control for the first British Google TV box from Sony. But which bit of kit claims the Crave kudos and wins the day?
And we turn to you, esteemed listener, for your feedback. Can Apple still lead the tablet pack? Can your phone answer your door? And when will HTC phones get Jelly Bean?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Today I woke up to discover that my phone had an update to install. I thought the update would be 4.1. It turned out to be 4.0.4. This was of course disappointing. In addition it was perplexing as 4.0.4 has been around for some time. I started to look into how updates for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus are released. The release of updates to particular phones is controlled by phone networks not Google. This is probably common knowledge. What I was surprised to discover is that a phone's network is not determined by the the network provider who's SIM card is inserted into the phone (see Vodafone's comments to the below article http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/galaxy-nexus-by-samsung-android-update-20062012/). The network which controls when updates are released to a handset is the network to which the handset was originally assigned. The identity of this network is clear if you purchased your phone from a network. If, like me, you purchased an unlocked phone from a large retailer (not a network) you will not know which network controls the release of your phone's updates. This will mean that you will not be able to check with your phone's network when relevant updates will be released. With the imminent release, by Google, of Adroid 4.1 this issue may be important to those who purchased unlocked Samsung Galaxy Nexus phones from a non network retailer as they will have no way of knowing when to expect the Android 4.1 update.
The cherry flavoured jelly bean on top of the cake is that it appears that it is not possible to identify the network to which an unlocked non network phone is nominally assigned for the purposes of updates.
