I'm working on an app. that displays web pages within a WebView component. The Slate Pro 21 supplied before Christmas is running Android 4.3. The WebView component in 4.3 is buggy: there are problems with rendering of select elements, loading of web fonts and display of the Android keyboard (these are the problems I've encountered so far!).
Android 4.4 (KitKat) includes a new WebView component based on the Chromium open source project. I urgently need this upgrade. Could someone from HP please advise on when it will be forthcoming?
Thanks,

Is there anyone from HP reading this who can respond as to when we might see a 4.4 Kitkat update for the Slate 21 Pro?
Is there an official plan to keep this platform current with the Android development roadmap? Or is this going to be a "one and done" platform?
Thanks.

As a consumer who purchased a Slate 21 pro to streamline work flow-throughs, I expected that the bare minimum of support from HP would include keeping this device compatible with common workplace software like MS Office.
Please don't abandon your loyal HP customers less they abandon you.
I expect an update to Lollipop but I demand one to Kit-Kat.
Please HP, advise me to whether I should junk this device and shift future purchasing decisions to more customer dedicated manufacturers.

Hello,
A KitKat update for Slate 21 Pro was released last week. As the release is done in stages it may not be available to you yet, but should become available sometime over the next few weeks.
