It's been a little while since the last post. So I thought I'd update it. There is now a CM9 alpha 2.0 release for the HP Touchpad. I am currently running it and I think it's PERFECTION! I held off on the CM7 since it wasn't really designed for tablets, but CM9 is terrific. It isn't fool proof or for the complete tech novice. But I'm certainly no expert and completely new to Android, but there are great sites that do step by step instructions that are pretty easy to follow. Just google HP Touchpad CM9 alpha 2. I followed the instructions on lilliputing.com...

This is the answer from the developers:"Hi,We are hard at work on an Android app and will support Android 4.3+ by the end of this year! Stay tuned."

No. Le Pan doesn't have plans to update this product. To get the latest OS you'll need to buy a new device.

At the present time you cannot update this tablet to Android 2.2 (or even 2.1). Unless Velocity Micro decides to make an update of the OS and decides to use Android 2.1 or 2.2 for that upgrade, you will never be able to use the later versions of Android (you could, if you knew how, root the device and try to update the OS -- I don't know how myself, and I believe that there are no instructions on the internet to do so with this tablet. Some users are pessimistic about the likelihood of there being updates that consist of a more modern Android OS. You might want to wait a while until tablets that use Honeycomb come out which should make a tablet much more functional -- since Google is designing Honeycomb to function on tablets. As you know, Android 1 and 2 were made exclusively for cell phones.

I'm not sure. The phone runs really well on Jellybean. Kit Kat may be the update that I have not updated to.

Android OS, v4.1.2 (Jelly Bean), v4.3 (Jelly Bean), upgradable to v4.4.3 (KitKat). Contact T-Mobile to see when this upgrade will be available.

The new update is still bloated and slow. Half the apps dont work in the market. VEGAN is still the best way to go. Fast customizable and free. I would stick with the ROMs if your able to put the on.

http://myelsse.com/ is their website though that is all that shows. If you search sometimes you can find something. The site is rather "totally limited"If you use the search feature and search for "upgrade" you will get the following page that lists other models but not the 4.3http://myelsse.com/index.php/default/categorypage/categoryid/5/tit/Android%202.2??I have one coming first of the week, I will try to post back some thoughts.

Hi Syed, I went to the post you mentioned above( http: // ossadmin. wordpress. com /2011/02/26/goodbye-vodafone-uk-nexus-one-rom/ )but the config given there is Android Version: 2.2 Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04 Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-27237-gbe746fb android-build@apa26 #1 Build Number: FRG33 which does not match with the one you have mentioned ( I have same config as you have got).Question is how did you get the upgrade !! did you follow the same steps as mentioned by Gianni. Awaiting your reply. Thanks, Hemant

Dede, I don't think that T-Mobile even sell this one anymore. This one is being sold by a 3rd party and the software is extremely old by Android standards. If you want a decent Android tablet for about the same price then go directly to Google and purchase a new one from them. You can get a 7 inch from Google that does WiFi for only $229 and will be much faster have up to date software and have better resolution that this old tablet.

I am the seller Electronics Mart, we are US seller. Unfortunately it can't be upgraded since these are custom ROM written for Dual SIM phone. However it has Android 4.1 which is still very new. I have used both android 4.1 and 4.2 and trust me, there is not much difference. If you do need a Android 4.2 then try the PAE920 which is Android 4.2 and much better quality screen and resolution then this one. It's more expensive than this model but ti's worth it. Lastly, make sure to buy from a US seller so you can get it delivered in 3 days and get the support when needed.

table is only a4.0 Android version software needs to be able to be upgraded to a 4.2.2 Android version

The latest firmware upgrade includes access to Google Play. Unfortunately not all applications will load properly and you get the "incompatible device message" on few apps. Hopefully, the next firmware update will take care of this but don't hold your breath as B&N; basically is getting out of android tablet business and turning over future development to third parties.

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'm afraid but I can't do 4.2, however I can do 4.0 which is the newest version in japan Thanks

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!
