The new Nexus 7 tablet does not have any ground braking hardware. It really is a platform used to highlight the new Android 4.1 features:

  • Smoother UI. The Android UI now runs a 60 frames per second.
  • Low system requirements. It is even being released for the single core Google Nexus S.
  • Chrome Browser is now the default web browser.
  • Offline voice dictation/voice typing
  • Google Beam allows you to send photos and videos to another Android device. Pairing of the devices can be done by taping the two together.
  • Improve notifications bar which allows notifications to be expanded to show more information.
  • Improved search bar.
  • Improve voice search.
  • Features Google Now, which provided contextual search without having to search. Google Now give you relevant information based on time, your location, calendar and other information (a bit creepy).
  • Smart app updates. Instead of downloading the entire app to update, you will only have to download the changes in the APK.
  • App encryption to prevent app piracy.
