Android 2.2 is available as an upgrade from Velocity Micro (go on the web site for instructions)... but don't expect any improvements:- Google Market is *STILL* not available- Most of the best applications out there (i.e. Netflix) are still not compatible with this device because of the internal CPU (it's a MIPS and not an ARM).Advantages of the upgrades:- You get Google Reader + Google Books (Google accounts works).

It's the 2012 model, since there's the Nexus 7 2013 model with several hardware improvements. Still, the Android OS version is freely upgradeable and will work flawlessly. I just did it and loved it!

Hi, thank you for your inquiry. We are sorry that it could only get Andriod 4.2

There is no upgrades available. Per my call to Hisense this morning, they are not ever going to update it. The only other option is to Root the device and load a custom firmware. The only issues with the customer firmwares is that most of the ones I've read about generally have something that does not work such as the Camera. The Custom developers are generally always working on getting everything working though.

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.

Mine came with Android 4.2.2. There is also a review about it on cnettv where they clearly show it has 4.2.2. Don't know if Amazon will allow this link. If not just search for cnettv and memo pad 8: http://cnettv.cnet.com/asus-memo-pad-8-8-inch-quad-core/9742-1_53-50154288.html

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.

I have tried to upgrade my tablet also I don't think it can't be upgraded I also have a Nexus 7 , It has upgrade ability. In the setting screen it has upgrade available The G-Tab Quantum 7 doesn't Go to the settings screen and go down to where it says "About Tablet". The Google store has an app called "Android Go next upgrade" that will show if your tablet can be upgraded The store has several apps under the name of kitkat you can check them out and see if any of them will help you Also make sure you have clicked on auto update to update all apps when available I hope this info answers your question

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.

No. I tried and it would not upgrade. The tablet failed on a number of occasions and has been returned

HP has ended upgrade support with 4.4.2. They did make a vague comment about they may push out a patch sometime though so if a major security exploit is discovered or whatever they may do something about it. I would not hold my breath waiting for any kitkat bugfixes or new features however, it looks like the S7 is one step from being abandoned altogether.

Yeah its still Android. The only add ons are the tegra store and stylus software. Otherwise it's an unsullied Android that's fully upgradeable, so long as nvidia updates it, which they have.

I do not have this tablet. I would not purchase a 2.3 Android tablet that is a old system. You can not use GOOGLES PLAY STORE. you can try, Amazon or Getjar to download aps.
