What exactly is everyone hoping to gain from this update? What I am hearing is none of the new features of the 2014 are included. Just an OS update that apparently isn't all that great and forces you to root to properly access the external card. Sounds like a lot of waste of blood pressure elevation to me. The 2012 is a great tablet even after two years. Not at all sorry I have it and in no hurry to drop 600 on a 2014.
