No. The Developer Edition has Android + HTC's software + features (HTC Sense). It also has an unlocked bootloader (Used for modding the phone) and is not carrier specific. (Unlocked GSM) The Google Play Edition has stock Android along with not being carrier specific as well. Some HTC specific features such as refocusing are available since HTC's apps are on the Play Store.

The 2 page booklet says android 4.0 but I am not sure what it is or where to find out

Yes, it has Google Play, along with other google applications such as Maps, Lattitude, Places, etc... Though it might be hidden. To unhide it uncheck the "Hidden google application" under {} Developer options in Settings...

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.

No, this bundle does not come the Designer Edition software. That will cost you extra...I think it's about $49.

The Developer Edition comes with the bootloader unlocked. However it is still has S-On out of the box. They are essentially the same thing in every other respect. For some reason however, I couldn't activate my free 50Gb of Drive Storage and I suspect that the unlocked bootloader is the reason for it.All in all, if you are interesting in hacking the phone, like rooting and all, the developer edition might be better for you. However, If you intend to use it as a regular phone (no-rooting and what not), I'd suggest you get the regular one (internation version) instead

I do not know about which came first, a question better answered by the manufacturer. I bought this for my 12 year old and they have enjoyed it. I have tried to do a manual install of Google play and services and so far it has been unsuccessful. Amazon was on it however.

I think the included web browser is Chrome (I could be wrong) but you can download and use any web browser you want through Google Play Store for free.

No, Gmail and YouTube were not installed. You have install them from the play store

there is no difference on versions. whatever you get you will use only the S/N. you have to download the current version (year) of the version you purchase. After that only thing to do is to activate. Enjoy it

The Google play version doesn't come with the LG features or UI. It comes with vanilla android. So basically it just looks different, but works pretty much the same.

could be. I'm using consumer preview. is it still possible to download the developers's version? I'd hate to go back to windows 7.

It comes with the Google Android Marketplace out of the box, though some of the applications seem to be missing from it. 90% of what I was looking for though is there, and available both free and/or paid versions.

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.
