And more. After some playing I was prompted to update some of the OS and, wary of the issues with failing to connect to Tesco server, I relented and let it update stuff. This included newer versions of Playstore, several Google apps and Chrome browser. It now connects to the internet for browsing and playstore for installing new apps and does both a fair bit quicker than my Samsung Tab S tablet.
I have also dug out a Kindle Fire 7 tablet and am reminded why it fell into disuse, it doesn't do much other than play music and video. The equivalent of Playstore has nothing of much use in it, I failed to find a decent browser or a scientific calculator which is are the first apps I want put onto my devices. It does also seem to have a bit more computing grunt that my Samsung Tab S but without Google playstore it is pretty useless for me. This may be a good candidate for Rooting and OS changing and there is some support for this.
