When it first landed on the [Kindle Fire,](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/06/hbo-go-launches-for-kindle-fire-but-continues-to-avoid-other-and/) HBO Go for [Android tablets](http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/05/hbo-go-and-max-go-get-android-4-0-phone-support/) seemed like a dead cert. And, sure enough, it wasn't long before the service found its way on to slates with version 4.x, with one _minor_ exclusion -- those running Jelly Bean. Well, version 1.7.1 puts that all in the past, and now means the full gamut of Android users (unless you never made it past Donut) can join in the fun. Reading this on your [Nexus 7](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/)? Make haste toward the source link for the download.
