Upgradeable? Will this tablet be upgradeable when another version of Android comes out?

It certainly should be, but there haven't been any official announcements. I'm sure Toshiba's developers would need to look at it first. Having said that, Toshiba's Android experience in pushing out updates hasn't really been that great up to now.

It comes installed with Jelly Bean, Android 4.1.1. If not already installed, you'll be prompted for the upgrade when you connect to the Internet.

I could never get mine to update, honestly you might as well dish out the extra $50 and get a tablet that actually works...

I may be joining you in that boat shortly. I have a shortlist working on backup tablets if this doesn't look like it's going to happen soon. Gtablet is pretty close to the top (with tnt lite of course.) Problem is for me, I WANT a 7 in tablet. I'm also seriously considering the nook color now that it's been rooted. Going to have to keep an eye on development on that in the next few days...might pocket the spare money and sell it to upgrade to a tegra when they finally start showing up. I'm just really disappointed in stream tv's complete lack of any news or updates regarding their product.

Android 2.2 is available as an upgrade from Velocity Micro (go on the web site for instructions)... but don't expect any improvements:- Google Market is *STILL* not available- Most of the best applications out there (i.e. Netflix) are still not compatible with this device because of the internal CPU (it's a MIPS and not an ARM).Advantages of the upgrades:- You get Google Reader + Google Books (Google accounts works).

Can not be upgraded via OTA, but there are root files available for upgrade to 4.0 It is now out of production, good tablet, but limited. Find one cheap under $200 or dont bother !!

There is no android support yet. I registered with the forum and from extensive discussion, it is on the way.

I do not think this tablet is still in current release. The new one, from Lenovo, is much more powerful, and ships with 8.1.

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, but I doubt it. I already bought a new tablet because this is outdated.

No not at all. I was told to wait for the update. Nice. Nothing was said in the write up it wasn't ready for the android.

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.

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.
