Thanks for checking - guess I'll just have to learn to be patient. It's hard to be patient when you have a new toy!

It's the Play Store that doesn't allow the install for certain apps on certain devices if one of the "criteria" in permissions is missing such as bluetooth, gps etc. As mentioned previously, that doesn't always mean it won't work if you sideload it from another store. Anyways, doesn't the Nexus 7 have gps?
I've encountered this several times with my GT 10.1 and more particularly with my late Vox; for the Tab, this happens even though it's a "full feature" tablet with cameras, gps and bluetooth. Can't remember which specific apps and Play Store doesn't give you a reason, it just displays a message that your device is non-compatible. I've gone on to install from elsewhere (Aptoide, Good eReader app store) and they usually work anyways, but perhaps not with all the features?
As mentioned before,the sideloaded TuneIn works just fine on the Arc and did on my Vox as well regardless of the fact that it was "incompatible" according to Google...

I don't see communities on my Google+ on the Arc app.

Update on Tune-in...was able to open one local station. Not able to open any others so can't imagine what the issue is.

And I'm having no problems with TuneIn (as downloaded from the GoodEReader link I posted earlier) on my Arc... Really annoying that the same apps can have different problems for the same hardware. :/
