Hello,
I've been on the fence for a while about the utility of a Tablet but can start seeing some uses for one. I could see using it for things like:
(1) Checking email while sitting on the couch
(2) Google hangouts with family
(3) Video recording 6mth old
(4) Watching a movie on a plane
I don't care about things like pixels or gaming etc. However I do want something snappy that will work for the above tasks.
I see this guy is offered at < $250 which seems like a good price point.
The question is this already getting long in the tooth where it makes sense to splurge for a newer model? Also my guess is it won't receive updates past 4.4 - is that OK? I personally would prefer the Nexus 7 but think the 7" screen is a bit small and I'm getting tired of waiting for the next Nexus to come out. However, if in 6mths the functionality will be different enough where I'll be annoyed to have it so be it.
One additional question - does the LG come with the functionality to create different "accounts." Where both my wife and I can share it and have different home screens and gmail accounts etc. I know the Nexus has that by the earlier Samsungs don't
Thanks,
