So it's been 5 days. Has any one received the Kitkat OTA update on the 2012 Nexus 7?
It feels like majority of us haven't received it.

Not on my n7 2012. I tried sideloading and almost died trying. Didn't turn into a brick though!

It seems a pity that, aside from the more complicated sideload, Google doesn't supply the OS upgrade via it's own online Google Play Store, say, along the lines of (dare I say it) Apple's iTunes or Mac App Store. Plug your Nexus into your computer, choose the OS Upgrade and let it all download and install via the Store. Google's servers permitting, this would seem to be a way they could get the OS quickly, securely and relatively brick-free, especially if users have sometimes dodgy OTA connectivity.
It seems like if you are technically savvy enough to want the update that quickly, you could at least download 2 things and run a command line code.
How do you know if you have a 2012 or 2013?
Thanks!
It's another way of saying 1st generation Nexus 7 (2012 release year) and 2nd generation (2013). There are many differences, but here's the easy way.
Look at the back while holding the tablet in portrait orientation (like you'd hold a book).
2012/1st gen: NEXUS is written horizontally
2013/2nd gen: NEXUS is written vertically
