Anyone know if this tablet is upgradeable to a newer Android OS version? Like 3.0, 4.0.

Yes, Ice Cream Sandwhich is available for the Ideapad A1 but you have to get the update file from somewhere else (Lenovo briefly put it on their website but then pulled it off not sure why, but some sites still host the file)... do a search on xda developer forums to get the instructions on how to update it. I am running ICS on my A1 and it works pretty well.

No, currently the Lenovo Ideapad A1 is stuck with Gingerbreak 2.3 for the rest of it's life, however if you're really techy you can put the OS on it yourself.I would just suggest getting a better tablet such as the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 2.

You can't update by yourself. Irulu engineer is working on it. If they got the driver out, they will release on their official website. For now, all of tablets have been upgradet to 4.4 at this model.

I don't know, but my advice would be to just get a new one as I see tablets with better specs for $60 or less all the time now.

no. but you can always download it from the play store. Sabre your money and buy a better tablet. These are junk. I must now wait 4_6 weeks for a warranty repair!

Unless you root it, currently it did not show it was upgradeable. That might change and perhaps the manufacturer will let us know.

Yes.

The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

If you root it and install 5.0 yourself, you should be able to run it on this tablet with no problem. If you are expecting an over the air update to 5.0 I would not hold my breath. As someone who has owned ASUS tablets before, they have a really bad track record of upgrading their software. I have recent ASUS tablets that are still running Jellybean. ASUS' support for updates is very poor.

This tablet is rooted so once Android releases new updates, then it should be able to apply those updates. But you would have to go into SETTINGS and check and download updates, it's not going to updates automatically.

From what I've read on the web, the company had initially intended to allow upgrade of the OS to Honeycomb & Ice Cream Sandwich when those roll out, but according to their website this will not now be happening. Apparently, the new OSs will not be compatible with the TC970 hardware. (They are also planning to introduce a 7" tablet in the near future, but I'm not sure of its intended OS.) Food for thought: There are tons of apps for Android 2.2 (Frodo) and TC970 is optimized to use it very well, while even Google admits that Honeycomb is glitchy and was rushed to market to keep the public interested while ICS was being fully developed. First-adopters and those whose life-interests revolve around tech toys will not care for the TC970; but for those like me who like what it does, the fact that it is not on the bleeding edge of tech development should mean very little...

I'm not sure, but also not sure I'd recommend the tablet overall. Mine started freezing up after I had installed a total of four apps!

Hi. Lenovo has updated this tablet to version 4.0.3, but that seems to be the last update from Lenovo. This tablet is not under active support from their.

This tablet cannot be upgraded automatically, you will need to do that manually by installing a new ROM.

Minor updates, but not major. It will not go higher than 4.2 "Jelly Bean". I do not think ASUS is investing any time in this tablet because of its age.

The answers given are good. The only thing I will add is that if you're buying a used one. I've found it simpler to load Android onto the tablet from scratch rather than try and figure out what someone else has loaded and what versions they tried to load.
