Why doesn't Chrome recognize mobile Blogger templates on the Nexus 7? I use Chrome on a Nexus S and a Nexus 7, both with Jelly Bean 4.1.1. When I visit Blogger blogs that use mobile-optimized templates provided by Blogger, Chrome on the phone correctly displays the mobile version of the site, while on the Nexus 7 it apparently doesn't recognize the mobile option and displays the desktop version. To force the visualization of the mobile version I have to append ?m=1 to the blog's URL.

Why doesn't Chrome display the mobile version on the Nexus 7 by default? Is this a Chrome/Nexus 7 issue or a Blogger one?

Here is an example Blogger blog exhibiting the issue:

It's my blog and uses a Blogger-provided template, with very little customization. All such Blogger blogs I tried behave the same with the Nexus 7, i.e. the desktop version is displayed by default.
Without seeing a concrete example, I can't really tell, but it is likely it's because of the way mobile detection works is usually by screen resolution/size. Nexus 7 may have a screen large enough that the it is being detected as a normal desktop/laptop.

With certain designs, a separate tablet layout may be unnecessary if the site are usable with both mouse and touch input.
