How "rooted" is the JB Android run from the SD card? Can I select which android features load on startup?

It is pure Android when you boot from the micro SD card. All Androids have the same initial apps. You can choose which ones you want to use and to add. When you take out the card, it is a NOOK once again. I like it!

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.

Android 4.2 is plenty high enough to load and run those two apps. The only concern is that you have a good connection to wifi and install a micro SDHC card and transfer as many app to the external card.

Its a real problem, unless you want to go through the process that Tim has mentioned. For me, I'd rather buy a phone that works out of the box than spend precious time to root it. And just to find enough space to root the phone, and add apps that will eventually be move to the SD, I still have to temporarily get rid of other apps that I need for work. It would be different if google didn't fill the memory with so much stuff that is worthless to me.

I use the dock literally every single day/night. I just drop it in there when I get home, and it sits there overnight. I heard in past releases there was an issue with the MotoDock applet leaking memory and hogging cycles, but I've not experienced that myself. I'm running JellyBean on the RAZR since 24 DEC 2012 with no issues at all. Prior to that running ICS with no issues.

A "Rooted Device" on Android devices is similar to Jailbreaking an apple device. Android is considered open source and can therefore be modified (Rooting).

Android 4.1.1Obviously android Os have been originated from Unix like Linux

yes but to do it easily you might need to root it. this tablet is the easiest ive ever rooted. after that get android tuner and after you install an app goto the application manager in android tuner and there is a feature to move an installed app to the external sd card. there may be an easier way but this is how i do it.

It's hardly not. I googled it but only found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520124. Since it's an old model, it's lake of support from both vender and individual developers.

No. Minix has a custom XBMC install on their website which works of you install the apk. Don't need to root the device.

Do not recall as I rooted the device from the first day and installed on it another ROM that was working OK with me with google play.

You can check on their website, but I haven't found anything yet. It sounds like it'll be better to root the unit and add roms to improve performance. I'm still looking into that though. There's not a lot of info about this company or their products anywhere.

I rooted mine very easily with towelroot.com Click on the lambda symbol to download the apk then install it on the phone (unknown sources must be allowed) and then run it. After rooting, get SuperSU apk from Google PlayStore.

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.

To install android, you need a firmware, and that's not publically available. You might get android to run in a VM since the Atom does support virtualization.

I rooted mine EASILY using huskermania's video on youtube http://youtu.be/88qRbLLEAPQ. One think you'll need to add since there are no back/menu buttons is an app called Button Savior. I have a lightweight Android tablet that I wirelessly tether to my rooted Android phone. I love it!
