Re: Where are those monthly updates?
Must I? I used my nexus 7 for 2.5 years before giving it away to a good home as I didn't use it much. I didn't replace it with another tablet. I buy devices because of the utility, I hold onto good stuff until it breaks beyond repair. I couldn't give a flying monkey what other peoples opinions of my choices.

@William 3
People on many forums complain regularly about their nexus 7s. This is the first time I've commented on it. Not shutting up cos its a valid debate.
I said they promised 18 months, i didnt say i thought that was acceptable or not. What do you consider to be an acceptable time to provide what level of support? (Don't forget the nexus line are the BEST supported android devices)
@Patrician
Good to know, I didn't realise the 2013 nexus 7 got marshmallow.

Re: Where are those monthly updates?
Why do people keep whingeing about the first Nexus 7? Google only originally promised Nexus device updates for 2 years, which is now dropped to 18 months. That tablet you have is 4 years old now and was flawed on release, its not gonna get fixed. Not now, not ever.
Go out and buy the 2013 version. Its cheap and twice the tablet of the 2012 version. But its still not gonna get updates cos its old too.

I had a 770 (no N) between 2006-2008 and it was a cracker wee tablet. The maemo os had many similarities with android, but too much like linux to be mainstream. They had a "market" like linux which you had to add repositories to. Far far too techie for mainstream use. Also crippled by a maximum of 4 hours battery life. Still a great improvement over pocketpc!
