It's a Samsung smartphone but they put an FM radio where the phone radio would be. Like an old school PDA with a radio.
Samsung Media Player

Yes, it looks like there is a good chance your tab can be upgraded to KitKat. Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784792
On the same forum you can find rooting instructions. Also I saw the CyanogenMod OS available for that device (lightweight version of Android). The later could work smoother on such an old hardware, but try KitKat first.

Thanks for the reference. I'd found the site with google earlier for rooting. I'm trying to get that to work now.
