Is there a cost to upgrade to current Kitkat operating system?

No, the update to the current operating system is free and should be KitKat 4.4.

No, at least when you buy it. I haven't had to update it yet so there could be a fee.

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...

There aren't any Roms available for it. So currently no its not upgradeable. Doubtful that Samsung will update this to jellybean either

It is 4.2.2 Jellybean. I read today on Google News that the UK and Europe have begun receiving Kit Kat. There was no mention of when the US would receive the software update.

You should be able to do an OTA(over the air) update to kitkat 4.4.2 or through the pc software. Mine came with kitkat 4.4 and then I updated to the most recent version.

they'll probably send you 10.6, but then you can update it through the software update menu. you'll need an internet connection.

I have the same question. Is it worth paying over $200 for the IS enabled version?

The version is 4.4. About the upgradeability, I think the answer is yes. The first time when I turned on the phone, it asked me to upgrade the system. Because of that, I couldn't see the primary android version. I hope to help you.

Yes. You can download from Google Play. The only thing is that when you download an anti-virsu program, it say that the system is rooted. So this thing comes rooted already, I didn't know that. Now I'm wondering will I be able to upgrade to 4.4 kit kat with no issues. I think I haveto wait until Pipo comes out with there version of 4.4 to do anything. Just something else to think about.

In my opinion, you would be better off getting a new tablet. For around $100, android tablets are available with a more modern OS.

I can confirm that the gpad is updated to KitKat 4.4.2 though an over the air update. I live in the USA.

you can check the rockchip 3188 forum. last I checked (month or so ago), there is a kitkat upgrade available, but gps functionality was not supported at that time.

My preference is fo OEM over upgrade but back up your data first of course. Can't guarantee everything (sw/hw) will work going from 32 to 64 bit but there are usually workarounds.

Negative. These are 2 completely different systems. You can't upgrade from 7 to 8 for free. If it had Windows 8 installed, then you could easily upgrade to 8.1.

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.

As T. Hearn said Google is free so you'll never be charged for new os updates. Also I have had my T300 for about 3 weeks now and have already gotten two updates Asus is taking care of the transformer series.
