Are there any firmware upgrades for this tablet or mayhaps in the future?

None that I'm aware of. It was running the latest version of android 4.1. The battery was drained to nothing and when I connected it to recharge, it got stuck in a boot loop and then just died.

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.

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.

Yes I updated the firmware. It was not hard and it seemed to work. But its been a while since I've done it.

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.

No. I tried and it would not upgrade. The tablet failed on a number of occasions and has been returned

The company has been out of business since December of 2010, and I would highly doubt that anyone still has files from back then. I've scoured the internet for anything related to firmware upgrades and I don't see any publications or even announcements for a firmware update. I just figured that was one of the downfalls of this frame. About your only option is to manually change the names of the files on your memory card and shuffle them that way.

I've looked into that issue, but all I could find out is that the tablet has to be "rooted" in order for the newer version of the android software to be installed. If it is not done correctly, It could render the tablet useless.

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.

I think that the firmware is the latest at the moment of your purchase, the product is working properly for me but, if an upgrade were nedeed, you must returnt it to Darbee.

The latest firmware is V1.05. I hope all of the old stock is gone and only the latest firmware version is being sold.

There is no upgrades available. Per my call to Hisense this morning, they are not ever going to update it. The only other option is to Root the device and load a custom firmware. The only issues with the customer firmwares is that most of the ones I've read about generally have something that does not work such as the Camera. The Custom developers are generally always working on getting everything working though.

Try to update the firmware by attaching it to pc with Kies program, you might also have to reset the whole tablet...

You can check on their website, but I haven't found anything yet. It sounds like it'll be better to root the unit and add roms to improve performance. I'm still looking into that though. There's not a lot of info about this company or their products anywhere.

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.
