The regular Sero sells for 79 bucks, I think. The Pro is better, quad core processor, better graphics, more memory, worth the extra cost for my intended use.
The OS can be updated - whether Hisense/Walmart choose to OTA update the Sero 7 Pro is another matter. They did one OTA update before I bought mine, which came with v4.2.1. All the HS7Ps have android 4.2.1
AFAIK.
There are several hacker/developer types who have released versions of 4.3 and 4.4 AOS for the HS7P with installers/uninstallers for android neophytes like myself. I haven't tried them. I suspect everything works fine except possibly the camera, or some other hardware-specific aspect of the HS7P's OS. I'm a little lazy, I don't care to have the latest/greatest stuff if it requires a lot of work. I avoid voluntary beta-testing.
Thanks for the tip about Co-Pilot. I'm downloading Co-Pilot's North America map now (just installed free version), gonna give it a try.
