My wife has said she will ask Santa to bring me a Nexus 7 for Christmas. Problem is I have visited our local computer store to try one and it didn't display HTML5 panos correctly, showing only one tile at any given time.

Seems it's probably a Chrome for Android problem - panos on the krpano site also displayed the same problem.

Does anyone know for sure if there is an alternative browser for Android Jelly Bean which displays panos correctly, please?

Regards

As I recall I think Nexus 7 is running Android O/S 4.1 Jelly Bean. http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/

Adobe released a press release last month saying that it will not support Flash on Android starting with Jelly Bean 4.1. That does mean that you can download and use Flash 11 but Adobe will not fix issues. Here is how to install Adobe Flash FULL VERSION on the Nexus 7 (or other Jelly Bean Devices). See also the current 11 comments about also downloading FIREFOX without rooting.

ITS NOT THE NEXUS 7 itself.. IT IS the Browser installed. Google Android Chrome browser is preinstalled on the Nexus 7.

Browser and WebView
•Browser has improved performance, CPU and memory efficiency. With better performance for animations and HTML5 canvases and an updated JavaScript Engine (V8), pages load faster and feel smoother.
•Browser now has better HTML5 video support, and has a new user experience. Just touch the video to play and pause, and smoothly transition into and out of fullscreen mode.
•Browser now supports the updated HTML5 Media Capture specification on input elements.
•WebView now supports vertical text, including Ruby Text and other vertical text glyphs.


Disclaimer: I did download Flash 11.x directly from Adobe's website for Andoroid 4.0.4 ICE on our HTC EVO 4g and it works quite well.
