OnLive says support for Universal Controller on Nexus 7 is coming 'shortly'

[![OnLive says support for Universal Controller on Nexus 7 is coming 'shortly'][1] ][2]

Those of you who are proud owners of one of Big G's [Nexus 7][3] -- _and_ are frequent users of [OnLive's Android offering][4] -- may have noticed the lack of support for the gaming outfit's Universal Controller on the [Jelly Bean][5] slate at launch. Fret not, though, as _that_ might be changing soon. Speaking to _GottaBeMobile, _the cloud company said that while there's no Nexus 7 compatibility at the moment, it does "hope to have it shortly." [OnLive][6] wasn't quite clear about what "shortly" really means, but according to the aforementioned site, the Universal Controller's had a tendency to work with some titles before "the official support was announced" -- so a few of you _could_ get lucky ahead of time. Either way, we'll let you know as soon as OnLive intros a more formal solution.
