It's awesome! That's all I can say!

Any specific questions just ask. I'm tired as hell and beat from this conference so I'll just answer them later :)

The FZ-G1 is probably my next Christmas gift to myself. I have so many uses for something like that.

These may be too new to tell, but what is Panasonic's policy toward following the rapid pace of Android development? I have had this problem with cell phones; the phone makers tend to only make one, or maybe two updates available, then they forget all about your phone. As a result I try to only buy phones that are Nexus devices, or at least have active ROM development communities. I can't imagine something as expensive and generally esoteric as the Toughpad would have an very large user, let alone development, community.

Well, if it helps any, I've only had my A1 since Jan 1st and I've already received just the other day, 1 software/firmware update for it.

Was it a bump in the Android version (e.g., to 4.2/Jellybean)?

Perhaps since Panasonic's life cycle for these products is far longer than for a smartphone, they'll do a better job of keeping up with Android.

I am considering a B1 to go with my CF31, any input from any toughpad owners? Has Panny upgraded to Jellybean yet! Also are they "Google certified" for app compatibility? 3 different brand tablets in my family & they all are a little different with app compatibility.
CF-31 mk2 ToughBook, 320Gb 7200 rpm hdd, Win 8 Pro, Upgrades = 8Gb Ram, Super Multi Drive, Desktop Dock, Media bay battery, Emissive Keyboard, 128Gb SDHC.
More upgrades to follow, ie. GPS, USB 3.0 PCMCIA card & SSD.
JT-B1 ToughPad, WiFi, Android 4.0 powered, 16 Gig RAM, 32Gig SDHC

No Jellybean. Only Android 4.0.6. B1 is a cute little cookie! It has a hand strap BUILT IN. I played with it yesterday. I may get rid of my A1 and replace it with the B1 :)
