Comcast Xfinity TV Player for Android updated with beta support for Jelly Bean, Nexus 7

[![Comcast Xfinity TV Player for Android updated with beta support for Jelly Bean, Nexus 7][1] ][2]

Comcast subscribers who have already received their Nexus 7 tablets or are sporting Android 4.1-powered phones should cast an eye towards Google Play for an updated version of the [Xfinity TV Player app][3]. Version 1.0.2.001 adds beta support for [Jelly Bean][4] in general and the [Nexus 7][5] tablet specifically. It also fixes a nasty bug that would leave users stranded after upgrading their operating system, and promises a UI designed for 7-inch tablets in the next update. We saw Netflix get a compatibility update for Jelly Bean the day it launched, and [Sky Go only just made the jump to supporting Ice Cream Sandwich][6], whether or not you have access to this app, have early adopters spotted any other laggards that might stop working when a long-awaited upgrade hits devices?
