TC, the tablet they have is this one --> http://www.storageoptions.com/products/ ... basic-plus

Hi ALtheYIDD,

Welcome to the forum, as for getting flash on that tablet it's not going to happen as from a quick look at the spec's it seems to have an ARM11 v6 chip and the min for flash to work is and ARM11 v7 chip. You would be better swapping it for a Scroll Essential as I believe that is the same price~ish and it does have a chip that supports flash.

As for Google Play, it is not supported out of the box, you should be able to get it working on your tab, it's just a question of whether it would be easy or hard, and I can not answer that as I do not have that device, sorry. You could start by adding the Market app (Play) to your tab & go from there.


EDIT: P.S.
Link to Essential tab info --> http://www.storageoptions.com/products/ ... ssential-7

If your budget can stretch a bit more, go for the Excel (ICS version)--> http://www.storageoptions.com/products/ ... -excel-ics

you can sideload flash as long as the scroll basic plus is rooted
