Android Cruz Tablet Update

After my 2'nd Samsung Tablet (in 5 years) broke, I decided to give Apple a try. This is my first apple product. I've always been a windows (pc) and Android ( tablet/phone) user, so when I needed a new tablet, I figured I'd give apple a try. $329.00 is cheap to try the apple eco system.... IOS seems a bit more restrictive than Android (maybe that's a learning curve ?)... but, so far, I am very impressed. From a user interface/usability standpoint, it is much more enjoyable to use than my Samsung (Android) tablet, albeit the Samsung was 3 years old. Very seemless integration with my Microsoft One Drive Cloud storage/MS office products. Got the apple pencil as well.... Why not ! I'll probably always stay with Windows OS for a pc, but may take a bite of the apple when I get a new pbone...

Use it with an android app to control my photos using smartphone or android tablet

Works perfectly! Setting up my Android tablet and iPhone was quick and easy!

The Genie One operates at about half or less of the volume (motor noise) of the original Genie. I had a VERY difficult time connecting to a brand new iPhone 12 to do the firmware upgrade and was about to give up and return it to B&H. I was able to update both of my 1st generation Genie Mini on the first try. The Syrp website suggests using an Android phone. I live in an all Apple household, and I was going to borrow a friend's Android, but tried one last thing. I have a 1st generation iPad Mini, and tried loading the newest version of the Syrp app onto it. That worked, so I tried connecting the Genie One, and voila, the iPad downloaded the update and loaded it onto the Genie One on the first try. There are some very nice upgrades to the app and device and all are compatible with the 1st generation Genie Minis that I have for pan/tilt. All in all a great system, but there were big hiccups on the firmware updates.

For the discounted price, it cannot be beat. Was able to update it to Android 11 without any problems was another plus. Very responsive; the camera takes very decent pictures; wifi reception was way better than my LG V20. The only problem is if you are coming from a bigger handset, this will feel very small and takes a while to get used to. The good thing is it fits any pocket and you don't guilty about replacing this phone after 2 years.

I purchased it to add a mouse feature to an android tablet. It connected right away and works great.

I bought an Android tablet, put a hard plastic case around it, glued a quick-release plate to the case, and I use this arm to mount the tablet to my rig for use as a field monitor. The arm is much stronger than I expected it to be. I bought it because I'm broke and I figured that for this price, it wouldn't break me if it didn't hold... But it does hold... It easily holds the weight of a Google Nexus 10, its case, and the Manfrotto RC2 quick-release. I can hot-show mount it on my 5D2 or mount it anywhere I can find a 1/4-20 hole. So, I'm psyched that I made the buy.

This is a great way to expand the available storage space on your Android device. My tablet finally has some storage headroom! Full HD 1080p movies, high bitrate music files, home movies and pictures, it all fits with room to spare. THe card works flawlessly. Not a single hiccup or latency event. Solid 5 stars.

Use with my Canon 70D and Android tablet. Amatuer talent I have hired as spokesperson as turned semi-pro thanks to this device. Associated DV software app works well though could offer both bigger fonts and slower speeds. But at a large size and slowest speed setting, I can use it and so can my hired gun. Works well with my 10-inch tablet but can't be adjusted small enough to use with even my large smart phone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Android tablet that I have ever owned. I enjoy using it and it has great battery life. Speakers sound amazing as well. Love the Dex part about it too. I am actually excited to see what Samsung does with the next version.
