Yes, it will work; however, many, many apps will not support it. I don't know how to fix it.

I mainly use it as a Plex client. I also use a Hausbell Mini H7 2.4GHz to control it. I've been unable to upgrade the OS from the stock (4.1.1, I think) and unable to root or even see system files. I strongly suggest installing a launcher like Google Now to improve the UI experience; the stock UI is terrible. I'm pulling from my memory here, but I think was unable install Nova. Overall, it works oka as a very basic streaming client but don't expect to run graphic-intense games smoothly. Keep in mind, I'm not a developer or coding expert so someone with basic android dev chops might be able to do more. I have 50Mbps cable service and watch Plex from a friend's device about 10 miles away.

It does have google app store and it's not the most recent version of the android software so this is ideal for kids not business people.

I have used this option many times and it runs perfectly. Very trustworthy. I love it .I don't know if it matters who your carrier is. I have Net10

Google Play has the app, so I would say, yeah. I used the iPad version - wasn't very reliable, kept losing the wifi between the 2 devices so I stopped using it.

Yes, @App Store is just Metro's version of an app store. The phone is Android, so it has Google Play.

It will still work on NET10 network, however, I was not able to access emails but i think that was mainly because my phone was solely meant to be used for AT&T; provider.

It depends on what area you're in. I used it with Net10 just fine but you have to be in certain areas or they say the smart phones aren't supported.

It does have the real Google store. Not sure on the screen resolution. Not completely sure about installing your own personal APK, bit I do know it prompts to do system updates as a regular Android phone does.

Yes, the tablet fully supports Google Play Services, including Play Store. Some apps will not install due to the absence of a true GPS, but Location Services works surprisingly well for apps like Google Maps by using WiFi. It uses an Intel Atom processor, but I have not seen any compatibility issues with any of the apps I have used.

I can confirm that it does indeed use the Play store. However, there are some games that are not configured to this device- my daughter was looking for some dress-up princess type games and several of them would download, however, they would crash upon opening once the .apk was installed. The likely culprit is that iRulu has not fully defined the OS with Google etc such that the games will work. I have seen this many times with the second-tier tablets.

Can somebody clear this up? Will I be able to download apps from google play?

It does have Google playstore, but not all the apps that they offer are compatible. After downloading a couple different apps installed aps tend to freeze or force stop. Personally, if I were you I'd spend the extra $70 or mor and pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. This is the one that I bought for myself, I've had it for little over a month and have had no issues at all. Every day or so I've got to fix something with the Turcom. I hope this has helped you.

I don't know enough about the operating system yet to answer that question, but I should think so. It should either have Google Play or you can get the app.

The activation issue may only be an issue with Apple users. I have heard from a reputable source (Security Now podcast ep: 545) that the Google app still works. I have not used it personally.
