Most Andoid devices seem to be abandoned way too young.
For sure. Ask me about my B&N Nook Color android tablet from 2011, that could sort-of be rooted, but the developers lost interest. Uses a not-quite-standard micro-USB cable too, so it could barely trickle charge with a standard cable.
Nexus devices have a better track record.
Except for my first gen Nexus 7. The one that came after it had all sorts of rooting options, and even native Linux. My one? None. These would make great little information devices with their touch screens, but the locked-down hardware makes them so much e-waste. cheers, Stewart
