I would disagree with Stanase, depending on what kinds of apps you develop and what your target demographic is. If your goal is to make software that will need a lot of power, he’s right. If you want a broad audience, shoot for a few different devices. Perhaps even one of those $50 cheap-o ones you can find online.
This is by no means a bad tablet. It’s not cutting edge, but it’s not bad. If you just want something that runs android for development purposes, consider getting a CuBox-i, Ouya, or similar. You can get it to the specs you want, it will be cheaper, and it can run linux (should you want to do more with it). No touch screen, but you can fake it with a mouse.
Yes, I bought one a week ago and upgraded to the latest Android 4.4.2. Just go to settings,update and keep updating until you get the latest one. enjoy.
Dead on arrival! Will not charge using factory supplied travel charger nor will my charger that came with my S5 would charge the thing. Tried hooking it up to my PC. Nothing. Confirmed with Samsung Live Chat: Dead on arrival. I thought Woot would have had better Quality Control.
