can this tablet be updated to jelly bean 4.3. if so, is it automatically updated or is there something that the user is required to do.

The 4.3 update is not yet available for this tablet but Asus has confirmed it is on the way. When it does get the update, you will eventually get a prompt on the tablet that there is a system update ready for download. Once downloaded it will prompt you to initiate the update, which it will then do automatically without further input from the user.

Settings -&gt; about tablet, and one of the items on the list should be "android version" or something similar. There should also be a "system update" option. You can check for updates there and it should download it if one is available

I don't know what this item ships with but my identical one from Verizon is currently Android 4.1.2. Basic Jelly Bean. Probably last upgrade for this fine machine.

This phone has Android 2.3 which is lower than Jellybean 4. Whats up can be installed later, no problem. If you want Jellybean get Cubot GT72 a it has latest version of Amdroid and simmilar specs. Best regards!

As far as I have read, this device is not compatible with 4.4. However I have never attempted to update it. It works fine for me as is. The apps I use dont require the updated version.

When I bought mine, ASUS had not yet released the Jelly Bean update, but shortly after I got it, it became available and I updated. Very easy process. I suspect they are probably shipping new units with JB on it, but because it is so recent, I'm not sure everything currently in stock would have it installed. But be assured, it's an easy update.One thing to note is that it won't come with Adobe Flash on it because a while back Adobe quit supporting Android. However, you can get the last version of Flash and install it yourself. I did and it runs fine on the TF700 with Jelly Bean.

I cannot help you as I do not download apps. The only thing I did was upgrade the OS to Honeycomb. Not sure they will ever upgrade to Jelly Bean. I will say my Streak 7 is much better than my Fire HD. My Fire HD is essentially useless for Facebook, my primary reason for buying the HD.

I'm also struggling. First how does one know if one needs the firmware update? How do you know what version is currently installed on the unit? When I run the update wizard from the Jabra web site, it just gets to the place where is says, "When the device has entered firmware upgrade mode Windows will install a device driver needed during the upgrade process. When the driver installation is completed the firmware download will begin automatically." But nothing ever happens. So I'm just as stuck. Sorry this is of no help.

Do you need anti virus? Would a 2gb micro card be enough for firmware update or would we need at least 8gb? Just want to use for simple tasks....Should we keep Bank info off this tablet? Thanks Alot!

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 got it with Jelly bean -- 4.3.x but now I did factory reset and I am almost sure that I got to 4.4.2 very quickly in this way.

I believe it is 4.1 I have a Samsung 10.1 tablet that has 4.2 and there is really no big difference,as long as you have jellybean you are fine,next upgrade is kit Kat 4.4.

Presumably it will be, it comes with version 4 Jellybean which is the latest version.

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

Sorry, folks, but this has Android 2.2 (Froyo). 4.0 is Ice Cream Sandwich, which came out *after* this device was made. As far as I know, it can't be upgraded.

Amanda Foster, if you can do everything you ask without any problems, and the errors that had some "android tablet device venue 8" adobe flash player were corrected with the upgrade to 4.3 jelly bean
