Is there some reason this wasn't clearly stated BEFORE people got suckered into spending an extra $300 for what is essentially a very limited android device with lots of brightness?
It has very little system memory and cannot install apps because of additional restrictions added ON TOP of the Android OS. This is a real slap in the face as I cannot remember the last device Android device I purchased that was this limited in functionality. Nor can I recall a development situation where the users were full on prevented from installing apps. This is a security issue as well because we cannot update things like FB, Instagram, Twitter in a timely fashion so I supposed ill just pray there are no vulnerabilities.
I don't believe anyone was 'suckered' into gettting the built in screen when one already knew that they would be using 3rd party apps. This is directly from the P4P FAQ under the Remote Controller section:
It does not even mention that it will be made available in the future. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc. isn't installed onto the tablet, so any updates would be based on your account information instead of their respective apps anyway. This tablet is integrated into the RC's hardware and Go4 app software specifically and it just happens to run on an Android OS. It's not your run of the mill tablet that's detachable where it can serve any other purpose besides flying your unit via the Go4 app, thus there is no need for the tablet to have access to an app store.
If you want to load up on apps, flying apps or otherwise, again, the standard P4P RC would be the best thing to use. This also gives you the option to use a bigger screen than what's provided with the P4P+ RC.
