    They won't do anything because they don't care.

    i cant believe best buy has raised the tablet back from its $350 sale price to $400

    asking $400 for a tablet with kit kat is pretty darn embarrassing if you ask me.

    what about this

    www.dell.com/.../2015-04-08-venue-10-7000

    "Dell today also announced an update to Android 5.0, Lollipop on the award-winning Venue 8 7000"

    "Both the Venue 10 and Venue 8 will ship with Android 5.0, Lollipop, "

    and I also remember seeing one of the dell vp comment on a web site about the 5.0 starting to roll out soon as in hours/days....

    The above article is all the same guff we've been fed for months! "Dell venue 8 to be shipped with Lollipop" Give us some proper dates to work with! They moved it from January to Feb to March and now its april and I still dont have it. I see that the 10" is due in May to be shipped with Lollipop so i guess we'll have to wait until then to see if we'll get it or not.

    Thanks for this - well i'm looking forward to having lollipop - i'm hoping that this will sort some of the other issues i've been having with the tablet (such as the android based cast screen and the move to SD card button)

    I'll repost an update when i have it.

    yea I have not seen an update on the tablet as of yet... so wonder whats going on

    1) is the roll out actually happening???

    2) was this all a lie and its still April 21st?

    3) none of them are right and its even later

    I have a 30 day return policy on my dell so if this doesn't come out in 30 days its getting returned. 4.4 *** compared to 5.0 (since I have a 5.0 tablet as well)

    Yeah my 30 days are up, unfortunately.

    I hope, I really really hope, that Dell knows a whole bunch of folks bought this with the understanding that lollipop was coming. And with the hope that it would be timely - I could become a long term user of Dell tabs. Or not. 

    The longer it takes, the higher the expectations will be that it works right, no kinks or bugs.
