This obviously caused complains by users.

IMHO Bluetooth keyboards or gamepads /klicker are better alternative. Currently demand for USB host mode on Onyx devices is quite low. Until now I got probably not more than 3-5 requests for it. In case it will be really demanded I could ask for special series with enabled USB Host.


Concerning upgrade to Android 4.4 - official upgrade for Max is in the work and should be available soon. I am going to upload first beta release in ca. 2-3 weeks
Some days ago I asked Onyx Boox about upgrade to Android 4.4 for Onyx Boox Max.
Their answer was:""Dear User,

Thanks for your email and support of ONYX BOOX. we don't have plan to develop OS4.4, but we will release V1.7.5 in next week, welcome to visit our official website www.onyx-international.com

best regards
Onyx International Inc. "
So, will Onyx Boox Max be upgraded to Android 4.4 or not?
Thank you for the answer.
