    I was searching the web and I ran across information on the Panasonic FZ-A2 android tablet. Like it's predecessor, it is a 10.1 in tablet but it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It also has a Type C USB OTG port. I didn't see it mentioned in the Panasonic USA site but it is available in Europe.

    Still waiting to see one in person here in Australia. I still use (occasionally - when I'm able to use wifi not 3g sim) my fza1, but I've given up on it as a mainstream computing device I can use for work as when connected through 3g is just keeps locking up all the time requiring cold-rebooting.

    I certainly hope that the fza2 has all the problems with the fza1 overcome.

    Yea, the FZ-A1 was quite a disappointment I must say. :oops:

    Does anyone actually have a fz-a2 ? I see loads of them for sale new priced at around A$2500 on Ebay but I'm not willing to commit with some first-hand feedback on what they are like...

    Just for information, a guy on ebay has FZ-A1's for $40. Perfect to try to root.
