Reply from Onyx about availability in the US:
"Kepler Pro will be available in USA in July. You can check it in Amazon.com." 8/4/16: "Kepler Pro still not release as the material delay. Kepler Pro with Freescale i.mx6 CPU + 300dpi screen + 1G RAM + 16G flash + 3000mah battery. and we're developing Android OS4.4 and plan to launch in Q3."

Thanks much for that update! Too bad about the delay, but I'm glad to hear confirmation that they're aiming for Android 4.4.

Then again, with Boyue stating that they have no immediate intention of releasing a multi-language version of the T63, I've little choice but to wait for the Kepler. |

I hear ya. I wouldn't be surprised if Q3 ends up meaning the very end of September. Though that would be better than it being perpetually pushed back.

I emailed Onyx International to ask about the Kepler Pro. The following is the response I received. We might want to take a wait and see attitude, but it's sounding hopeful:

I'm curious, why do you say that? I was simply figuring newer Android would be better for us than older (and have a longer life in terms of app support), but it sounds like you perceive there to be some significant issues with 4.4 vs 4.2?

Because Android 4.4 crippled the ability of applications using external storage.

Doubt they would comply. Moving to 4.4 from 4.2 is a relatively easy step, but the 4.4-5.0 jump is a lot bigger. It's a major OS change, lots of small parts have been changed - and I'm pretty sure it isn't their decision to stick to 4.0-4.4, but Rockchips - they never released 5.0 to the rk30xx or rk31xx series.

Alternatively, should we be suggesting that they go no further than 4.2 (the Kepler is currently on 4.0) until Rockchips releases a newer version that handles microSD? |
