what works better for a older user. Jellybean or ice cream sandwich

The newer the operating system, in general, the easier it is to use. As time goes on, the user interface, the ease of multitasking, and the complexity of application the system can run increases. What I would council and older user (and this is a little vague: I presume you mean an older person with perhaps limited android experience, vs someone who has been using Android for awhile....) is to buy a better supported product than the Irulu tablet. It is wiser to get a well known tablet that it is possible to find software/firmware that is known to interface with the exact model you have. Consider a Nexus or Samsung tablet or any of the better sellers. Many of these cheaper tablets have very difficult touchscreens which can make using the thing a nightmare. I returned my Irulu. I found the company IMPOSSIBLE to deal with when problems arose, it wouldn't run some very basic Google integrated apps ...NO Voice recognition! So, in summary, buy a tablet that is somewhat common, get the most current OS you can, and in general avoid the very cheap Chinese knock offs as Android programmers focus on the more common models, and the company was incapable of helping me or even understanding my technical questions. Hope that helps. Chris

It comes loaded with Ice Cream Sandwich (android 4.0), but you can upgrade it to Jelly Bean through the Google/Android website. And I believe it's a free upgrade.

I have used the slightly sweetened Almond Milk (40 cal) and the final product comes out like "Ice Milk". If you are under the age of 50, you might not be familiar with ice milk. It was common when I was a kid and used a lot in store bought ice cream bars covered with chocolate. It is not rich and creamy, but it's okay. I have used Stevia only. It works, but the taste is not quite the same. It's a trade off. I make it both ways so I always have some with stevia for myself. But if I am making ice cream to serve guests, I go with sugar. I am having great success making wonderful frozen yogurt with plain Greek yogurt. So if your problem isn't dairy and you would rather not use cream or milk, this is a good option. The flavor of fresh berries in the yogurt is intense and yummy.

Update to Jellybean...Who knows. Android is not consistent with updates. But who really cares. If you keep waiting for the next "big" update you'll never buy anything. It comes with 4.1 I believe and works just fine. The update itself if really simple. It just does it pretty much all by itself and is free. Nothing to worry about. Just use the tablet and enjoy.

I went with this one because it has a more powerful motor. I love this thing. Can have so called ice cream now without it going to my waistline. I think well worth the extra money.

NOT me..but that is because I am 64 and my whole life loved food and still do and used to be able to eat anything I wanted! Can't do that now but still do an awful lot..It might help if I used it more regularly too! LOL

I think the secret to good ice cream with this machine might be to start out with a good, thick custard. I just made the vanilla bean "premium ice cream" (page 8 in the cusinart instructions/recipe book) and it came out great-I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream and milk (cheaper that way) and used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of vanilla bean. Other than that-I followed the instructions exactly. After 30 minutes in the machine-it came out somewhere between soft and hardserve-so I am letting it firm up in the freezer. Tastes delicious (I ate about 1 cup before I put it away).

We have always found jelly belly candy works the very best. Softer nuts seem to get caught in the device.

It does not, you can use anything you like. I usually take a small cracker, break it in half and spread a little peanut butter to make a tiny mouse sized 'sandwich'. It seems to be fairly irresistible :-)

When I originally read through all the reviews before purchasing the Jelly Belly machine, I saw that a couple of reviewers mentioned they had used M&Ms; instead of the Jelly Belly candy.

I change my mind, the YS eco royal jelly energizer is the best... I got the freeze dried tho and it gave me headache, read somewhere they get their freeze dried royal jelly and low moisture pollen from China so carefull. The royal jelly energizer is royal jelly mixed in honey to preserve it... It gives me a rushing sensation.

It's running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. I really haven't played with it much. I know you can go to the Google Play store and get apps. I just don't know how they play out through the sound bar. I'll update review once I do.

It's 4.4.2 Kit kat, maybe you can downgrade it if you really want Jellybean.

The frosty tastes better - my rich chocolate is almost gone, will buy frosty next time. The rich chocolate tastes like an old school, circa 1990s protein shake
