On Alexa Tablets prove it's time for Amazon to make a new Android phone ·
You forgot one thing Amazon omitted from their new tablets, no SD card slot. This should doom the tablet from ever becoming more than a sales vehicle, and an expensive one at that.

Please remember this is a beta issue. Any problems you have with the app should be reported to Google so they can fix. If you immediately leave the beta when a problem arises you probably shouldn't have been in the beta program to begin with.

I've been using Projectivy for about a year with my NVIDIA Shield, and it is everything advertised. If you do try it out and like it, please upgrade to the paid version, it's only a one time payment of $8 or so. The benefits are minimal, but it does make sure the app is available and kept up to date.
