Due to a flaw in the KitKat 4.4.2 Android OS, music stored on the SD card can not be played. I got rid of my ipad 3 Retina in large part because there was no memory expansion for storing music. I do not want to be tied to a streaming or cloud service which makes it difficult to play what I want when I want. The display is awesome, the onboard stereo speakers are decent if a little thin sounding. But it all is for naught if I can not find a work around for the SD card issue.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, music on the sd card can not be accessed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

General: ChromeCast crashes. Multi user: Messenger and Skype crashes, WIFI issues

The general problems occurs while streaming videos on ChromeCast. It simply crashes the process bar, when sliding it down while casting a video to the TV. It crashes it such a way, that the only option is to restart the device. I am a super user of Android, and have cleared the cache, reinstalled etc etc. Nothing ...
Multiuser troubles on second user with two apps especially: Messenger (facebook), and Skype app keeps crashing even when you are not using them, The only option is to choose: "OK" or Confirm (and send a report - which I already did). It keeps crashing 10 times in a row for both apps.
The other trouble is, that once user 1 i logged on, user 2 has troubles connecting to the WIFI.
I am pretty disappointed with this device - way to many errors that needs to be fixed and tested before the release. I do not now who your beta-testers are, but they are not doing a very good job. As an app-designer for both iOS and Android, I consider myself to be a super user of apps and synchronizing devices - and these errors should have been corrected.
Things to test and correct: 1: Process bar slide-down - crashes device when casting to TV with ChromeCast, 2: facebook Messenger keeps crashing - no way to avoid this. 3: Skype keeps crashing - no way to avoid this. 4: Many WIFI-issues on (ONLY MULTI-USER 2) keeps disconnecting/and or can not connect.
I am disappointed with this device merely because I bought this device instead of a laptop because of the multi-user option.

My New Toy!!!

Love this tablet. The screen resolution is awesome. It is lightweight and easy to hold. I love the Watch-On feature. It's fast and easy to use. Love it!!
I have had my tablet for less than 3 months. I thought that the battery was doing really well, then realized more apps were open and we're draining it rather quickly (3-5hrs). After I learned how to close the apps, the battery still only lasts at most 5 hours. I don't watch videos, but I have about 3 Zegna and King games I play once in a while. After charging all night, and turning on the tablet for 5 minutes, it has already gone from 100% to 96%. No other apps are running except incoming notification. As for overall performace, I couldn't ask for more. I just wish I knew more about all the other stuff on this thing.
