The specs say that this tablet runs on Android 4.3... Is there an upgrade for 4.4, or is it still to early?

Ooops: read below for someone else's actual experience with this. My original post: I suggest that you research the consequences of the upgrade, before doing it. I read somewhere that, on 4.3, you can read & write to the micro SD card (if you install one, of course), but that you cannot write to it (while installed), once the upgrade has been performed. Subject to your verification and the wisdom of others. Just something I read after I had already upgraded. BTW, upgrade was pretty effortless, FWIW.

If you have a lot of storage in Micro SD card, better stick with 4.3. KitKat kills non-system app write to the micro SD card. I now can't delete, rename, create folder with QuickPic. I can't even delete mp3 from PowerAmp if the mp3 resides in Micro SD card.

I just upgraded mine to Android 4.4.2, go to Settings -> About tablet -> System Update.The update file size is around 890MB, so make sure you have plenty battery power left or just plug it to outlet.

I got it with Jelly bean -- 4.3.x but now I did factory reset and I am almost sure that I got to 4.4.2 very quickly in this way.

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.

yes it can be updated to 4.0. mine was already installed on the tablet. but try going to the settings menu then scroll down until you see about tablet. on the top of the about tablet it should say system updates click on that and see if it works.... hope this helped

Go to Samsung office website and search for the tablet information. They have an official update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. This is the oldest version of Jelly Bean. I did read that the 10.1 is on the list for a later update to Android 4.3

My tablet is 8.4. Amazon puts all versions together. But it is designed for a specific model, just buy the one for your model.

I looked at the info on mine, and it said it was 4.2.2. I auto updates, but I couldn't find how to upgrade to 4.4...."It doesn't have Bluetooth...."

No , unfortunately , i was not satisfy , i bought but its very slow and you can not update it or downgrade OS , memory is limited to 512 , when you run whatsapp or tango or other applications the tablet will get very slow on startup and running.

Yes it is. It runs Android 4.0.4 (ice cream sandwich) You get full access to Google play store for apps, Facebook, ect.

Settings -&gt; about tablet, and one of the items on the list should be "android version" or something similar. There should also be a "system update" option. You can check for updates there and it should download it if one is available

@Jeff Barr 100% Agree with all that. For under $300, this thing is a beast of a tablet and for people that don't know the rooted custom roms (which is the custom android software you will run) are always much faster than the stock ones, so you'll likely be running as fast as many newer tablets out there. Rooted my phone and tether the two to get online as well, it's great!

I have read on the web Memo Pad has 4.3 update available. Here is the link: http://news.softpedia.com/news/Android-4-3-Update-for-ASUS-MeMO-Pad-FHD-10-Starts-Rolling-Out-426799.shtml

Yes! Mine is running KitKat 4.4.4 right now, and Android L (4.5 or 5.0) should be out for the Nexus 10 either by the end of the month at the earliest or the end of the year at the latest.

Well if you go to your settings on the tablet and scroll all the way down to about tablet click on it and it will show you what android version you have and it should say Android version 4.2.2

unfortunately no at least not from the manufacturer and the freescale site has a 4.2 update but you got to compile it yourself its a good tablet for having 4.0 but not fantastic

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.

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.

I think you will find it runs on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) It's fast, clear as a bell and better than my tablet. I made a list on the phone yesterday using a "Note Pad" APP and emailed it to my sister who thought I was the family geek ti be able to email something from my phone. And it was so simple. I have taken pictures and sent them on Yahoo Instant Messanger too. I am now looking for things I can not do with this phone. o far I am at a loss. LOLOLOL.....Jamie
