<HTML><BODY><p style='margin-top: 0px;' dir="ltr">Try a nexus device. I have a nexus 7 original and a 7 2nd gen. Both are running the latest version of the OS and get updates when ever Google updates Android. Drawback, Nexus 9 is reported to have an underwhelming screen. Advantage: neus 7 is the best rated 7" tablet on the market and runs straight Android by default. No having to wonder is the MFG will get you updated.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which reminds me: it's not Android you have a beef with. It's the MFGs who don't upgrade once they modify the stock Android.</p>

<div id="style_14422526550000040619_BODY">I have a few tablet..<br>
<br>
I have a new Samsung 10.5 ( Galaxy Tab S) from T-Mobile so far I am<br>
loving it, not as bad as I thought, not the bloat ware, but they do<br>
want you to use their app store for a lot of things. It helps that I<br>
am running Android 4.4.2. They are using part of the Storage now for<br>
memory so you should never try to fill the pad up.<br>
<br>
I have a Winbook from Microcenter 8" that just go updated to windows<br>
10, that ok. I use for when I have to access my switches as they only<br>
play nice with Windozes. You can use up to 64G SD card and install<br>
it only. It only had 2gigs not a power horse. I have install a few GNU<br>
Windows Apps like VLC and been happy with it. I am still trying to<br>
figure the bios setting so I can install Linux on it.<br>
<br>
I have to take care of the Apple iPads, I don't like them because they<br>
are so closed. With my other tablets I can swap sd cards and read<br>
comics and e-books, ipab well I am not going to convert to buy another<br>
copy because it closed.<br>
<br>
We have a Dell Venue 11" with Docking stations, only thing I don't<br>
like is the weight, it is heavy. I am fixing to do a try and buy for<br>
Dell Latitude 13" 2 and 1, that like the Asus Transform Tablets, that<br>
I loved back in the day, but since I only got up Android 4, a lot of<br>
apps are getting dated.<br>
<br>
Not to start another string but I really wish Android get off it ass<br>
let you update like Windows and iOS, I hate this buy it and never<br>
upgrade bs that seem to be the model of the phones and tablets. I love<br>
Android, but I am just tried of shelling out cash to be current.<br>
