The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

I would not buy this tablet, I bought 2 of them from Costco a few years ago and they both had bad charging ports after 3-4 months, called Vizio and they sent me refurbished ones where after a few months the same thing happened. I will not buy another Vizio device again period. They were very sluggish, there are a lot better choices now then these.

Has what been fixed? I have an occasional problem where the display driver crashes without warning. About 2/3rds of the time it recovers by itself otherwise I have to reboot the machine. When I say occasional, mostly I go months without interruptions and the I have it happen several times in a row and then it stops. This is the only error I know of. This tablet is a very good eReader for me, I cannot speak for others. I virtually never have troubles with the touch Windows key when I use the tablet without the keyboard. The keyboard conceals the touch Windows key so you never have any problems when the keyboard is attached.

Doesn't matter what the warranty is, Tablet Express will likely find a reason to not honor it. Returning mine, and getting a refund for it was a nightmare. In the end, after a dozen emails back and forth, they finally refunded my money, after holding the tablet for five days before issuing the refund. The only good thing I can say about the tablet is that it has a nice screen. Don't even consider loading more than a dozen apps on it, as that will tax it's capacity to function. To add insult to injury, after I posted my feedback, and the case I opened was closed, they tried to buy my feedback with an offer of $5 to change it. That should give you an idea of what you're dealing with. As far as Google endorsing it. I'm not aware that they have, IF they have. Doesn't make any sense that they would.

Haven't experienced trouble with Bluetooth but the tablet occasionally freezes especially with games and video. It has been a so so tablet, we may consider upgrading in the future many people are experiencing similar experiences. It needs to undergo some more testing this one seems to have been a rush to the market to keep up with the new Android tablets that cost significantly more. We have only used the Bluetooth a few times with external speakers and it worked okay.

I have not experienced this affect to my screen. I've had it for more than a year now.

I've had nothing but problems with this tablet, I bought it for my niece for Christmas. Charged it and it worked for a few days then completely stopped working. I'm getting the run around on replacement as well. Good luck!

Sorry, but I never tried it, so I cannot tell. However, I would recommend against this tablet. After a few months it became inoperable. Screen gets messed up and unresponsive. Have to shut it off and restart, and after a few minutes it happens again. The screen itself had a weird glare to it, and not all Apps worked properly. I looked nice out of the box, but quickly became an annoyance.

i tablet blows the ep121 out of the water i think. I had the ep121 for less then a week and i sold it and bought the samsung. The samsung has a way better screen then the ep121. The ep121 seems not as sharp as the samsung. And the battery on the ep121 is not as good, only last me for like 2 classes while the samsung last me about 3-4 classes. The asus runs around 100 less on ebay used then the samsung, so for 100 dollars more you get a better tablet.

I may be joining you in that boat shortly. I have a shortlist working on backup tablets if this doesn't look like it's going to happen soon. Gtablet is pretty close to the top (with tnt lite of course.) Problem is for me, I WANT a 7 in tablet. I'm also seriously considering the nook color now that it's been rooted. Going to have to keep an eye on development on that in the next few days...might pocket the spare money and sell it to upgrade to a tegra when they finally start showing up. I'm just really disappointed in stream tv's complete lack of any news or updates regarding their product.

I do not think this tablet is still in current release. The new one, from Lenovo, is much more powerful, and ships with 8.1.

I bought it within the last year and have had no problems with it. Guess I should check it for the defects you mentioned.
