If and when will there be an update to "jellybean"? Free? Simple upload or will it require a techie? Thinking of purchasing now; should I wait?

Update to Jellybean...Who knows. Android is not consistent with updates. But who really cares. If you keep waiting for the next "big" update you'll never buy anything. It comes with 4.1 I believe and works just fine. The update itself if really simple. It just does it pretty much all by itself and is free. Nothing to worry about. Just use the tablet and enjoy.

As soon as i went online with mine i started getting updates for included apps and to jellybean.

TF700T already has jellybean version 4.1.1,Nexus has been updated to 4.2 but TF700 is not yet there.

Mine updated within a few days as well. All I did was check for updates and it automatically downloaded the update and all I had to do was click it to install. Oh, and yes it was free.

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.

The ASUS is the best tablet going for the money. You won't regret buying the ASUS tablet. This tablet is one of the easyist tablets to use. Pretty much ready to go right out of the box.

I bought mine with the 4.1.1 Jellybean already installed. The bigger issue is with the firmware updates from Asus. With the trouble I had with mine I had to download the new firmware to my desktop computer and unzip the file to a micro SD card and then insert it into the tablet. It automatically identified the update and installed it with no problem. I am happy with the tablet over all except for the Bluetooth connectivity and rebooting issue. I would think that a company like Asus would offer to replace a product after it had gone to their repair facility and returned to a customer and it still has the same problem. JMHO....

Both my wifes and mine updated to Jelly Bean within two or three days. Great upgrade and every thing works great

I just experienced the same exact problem with mine. I was routinely checking for updates by using the webupdater and now I get the same message "SYSTEM SOFTWARE MISSING", does anyone have a zip file with version 4.70? Webupdater claims my version of 4.80 is corrupt... Funny I downloaded it from them...

Hi there, I've contacted them in the past, and they were able to walk me through an issue, but that was years ago. I've been updating for FIVE hours now, and the update, while continuing, still isn't finished. I'll be calling CS in the next few days if that download doesn't go through, and will update my review for you.

Most assuredly. As a matter of fact, I'd be surprised if it didn't auto-update shortly after provisioning. Here in the US, 4.4.4 is the current version.

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.

Seems good. I would recommend going online for updates. Seems worth the savings.

It's last year's model. But you can update to Android Jelly Bean 4.3 for free.

Not aware of any software updates. Have not had any issues with mine and it runs non-stop. If it's pretty new and you are having issues, I would return to amazon. This is my second Pandigital frame & have no issues with either.

Is there some way to update the maps or firmware? How do we know we have the latest version? My wife's TomTom plugs into the USB port and downloads the updates automatically. I see nothing other than MIO transfer, which is not very intuitive or useful.

I downloaded the firmware update from the Jabra website on to my computer and opened the download. A prompt from the download told me to to disconnect the speaker from my computer, which I did. It then told me to connect the speaker via USB and to hold down the multi-function button for 5 to 7 seconds, until the light turns orange/red. It did and then I clicked on the application again (from the download) and it loaded the new firmware. I think the downloaded firmware will know if you have the latest version or not. This is version 1.14.0. The speaker definitely is quieter now when you first turn it on and it plays at lower volumes, so it is a good improvement.

You have to reboot the system and reformat the OS. There are forums that will show you step by step instructions. Once you do that everything works fine. Its a problem with the difference from 4.0 ice cream to the 4.2 jelly bean

We are now at the end of the 4th quarter, well past the dates in the responses to this question. Did it update as expected? I am familiar with Jellybean, really like it as a hassle-free tech experience, and am prepared to buy this TV right away if it has that pedigree. Does it?

Just got the update and they appear to have fixed lots of stuff. I think they are learning and the ability to update the device without having to attach it to a computer means that it should just get better. If you have issues that are not being fixed, make sure you use the forums online and the report function on the device. The few times I contacted them I got some pretty quick responses.

You know, JCB, I still have not set it up! But I am sure that's what is installed...the home version, I believe. That is one of the main reasons for which I purchased it...good luck.

When I bought mine, ASUS had not yet released the Jelly Bean update, but shortly after I got it, it became available and I updated. Very easy process. I suspect they are probably shipping new units with JB on it, but because it is so recent, I'm not sure everything currently in stock would have it installed. But be assured, it's an easy update.One thing to note is that it won't come with Adobe Flash on it because a while back Adobe quit supporting Android. However, you can get the last version of Flash and install it yourself. I did and it runs fine on the TF700 with Jelly Bean.

It's 4.4.2 Kit kat, maybe you can downgrade it if you really want Jellybean.

Have not tested that specifically, but it does come with Flash 11.1 pre-installed - it has complete FLASH compatibility so far. It works with FIREFOX beautifully, and yes this is JellyBean 4.1.1. Hope that helps!
