Apparently it is already getting some love from the XDA community.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=841

They have ROMs available that enhance the performance of the tablet after being rooted. Reviews on it say that the stock OS is junk.

Has a headphone jack, USB, and MiniUSB port. No HDMI port which is a bummer.

bought one

CrazyPhuD 03-23-2011 01:30 AM

I would but the resolution sucks(but it's still equal to the ipads!) :-/ Nice price but tablets need real HD resolutions!

Agreed, at the price point, with the name brand, and the XDA community's full support... this very well could be the ipad's first real challenger.

My only sticking point with this is no HDMI out port. If this had one, I would have already purchased it.

Marcellus 03-23-2011 10:41 AM

Ordered one. Thanks.

The Archos 101 at $350 is a more polished product out of the box. I was looking the Viewsonic but it seemed you had to hack the shit out of it to get it working properly. The Archos took a lot less hacking (Android Marketplace and Flash being the two biggest).

other than the processor that is. the processor on the viewsonic curbstomps the archos.

yes, it takes a bit of tweaking to get it right but man... it is worth it for the processor alone.

the viewsonic is running dual core 1ghz proc

I'm gonna need someone to hold my freaking hand hacking this thing...

I tried putting DD-WRT on my router and bricked the shit out of it...

I believe so. I believe Full Tilt is all flash based so it should be no problem.

it is $376 plus tax at Office Depot. I just ordered in from Woot on my EVO.

Hootie 03-23-2011 02:36 PM

damn...maybe I'll just try to flip this for a profit...I'm sure after this w00t off everyone will be trying that...this was a luxury buy...not something I really needed

Demonpenz 03-23-2011 02:37 PM

I probably would have waited until easter. They are supposed to drop in price around then, but it is a solid by at Woots price

$45 and you get a dock which gives you a lan port, and more importantly an HDMI port. Also, by using ES File Explorer you gain access to your network under the LAN tab and can copy/paste/stream files.

Ipad killer right here folks. As soon as a 3rd party Honeycomb is released.... this this will be a BEAST.

Dear sweet baby Jesus in a manger... woot sold over 10k of these in the span of 24 hours. 93% of the people that bought them... bought just 1. Mostly non-resellers. That is AWESOME.

Nearly $3m in revenue generated by woot.com today.

I bought one of these about 2 months ago and I gave like 409 for mine, as soon as I got it home I put clockworkmod on it and TNT Lite and I now have the full market place working thanks to this link

Beware - apparently firmware version 3991 is not compatible with most of the mods yet, and developers are working on it. Do not root yet if you have 3991.

This thing will basically do anything a top of the line Android phone will do except make calls...
Responsiveness is very good and the battery life is excellent.... I had no problem when I paid 409.00 for mine even at that price and I do not regret buying it...
Angry Birds kick ass on the big screen... :thumb: Surfing is a breeze. Tapatalk works well as does Forum runner... Pandora works fine. Internet radio is good.
I doubt you will be disappointed.... Was told after you modify it with TNT or the other famous one it is about the best one on the market for hundreds less than the XOOM.

DaFace 03-25-2011 12:33 PM

Since this is likely going to be an ongoing discussion, I'm moving it to the Media Center.

R8RFAN 03-25-2011 12:39 PM

Also it accepts a mini sd (I have a 16 gb in mine)
Also it has a Full size USB slot and if you are a reader of the Nook , they have an app. Wife likes to read her books better on the Nook than the G-tab because there is no glare on the screen and the nook is lighter but if it's a low light situation, the G does well as a nook reader...

Yea when you put a different rom like TNT it roots it... you are forced to put clockworkmod on it now because it is suppose to prevent you from bricking it ...

The forum you need to ask any and everything is here
I am by no means an expert but it was simple enough for a dumb old country boy to figure out, I am sure the geniuses on this forum will have no problem.:thumb:

R8RFAN 03-25-2011 01:33 PM

oh and as far as losing anything... If you have a Droid now and use your email on your new device (gmail) all those apps you purchased for your phone are available to you to download, you do not have to pay again.

And if that's not cheap enough for you, just go to the Google and type someappname and apk and you will get a place to download that, you will then be able to install from the sd card and to the sd card and not use up your internal memory.

Is it better than your laptop? No... is it fun to mess with when you are laying in the bed and the ole lady don't want to make love? Yes

I don't own anything android. I was just wondering if things like the included Angry Birds would disappear or anything. Sounds like I just have to register it before I root it so it will show that I own Angry Birds is al.

Angry birds does not come standard or rooted that I know of but it's easy and free to get.

As far as the rooting stuff, I don't know your tech level but please be careful, I don't want you to brick it...

Android is built around a gmail account and it's exactly like a Droid but it's just bigger and you can't make calls on it....

If you wait until then it will be outdated too.... I figure someone will put Honeycomb on a G real soon.

Out of the box the Gtab sucks , put the right rom on it and it kicks ass.

It is a PNY Optima Pro SDHC HD 16GB card.

Paid $75 for it at the time and its never even been used because the camera I purchased to use it with was a dud so I sent it back.

I really need something with that capacity in a Micro SD.

I bought 2 of these at Christmas

Total Junk, battery life about 2 hours if you are lucky, I took both of them back for a refund.

The battery life on the gtab is impressive....

Back to the hardware, the G Tablet features a microSD slot, USB connectivity, a front-facing 1.3-megapixel webcam, plus built-in Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi. ViewSonic manages to squeeze all that into a slate with similar dimensions to an iPad and at roughly the same weight. The G Tablet's 3650 mAh battery is said to deliver 8-10 hours of battery life, which tracks closely with the 9-10 hours of surfing potential Apple claims for the iPad.

BTW, $75 is not what I expect to get for it. If anyone is interested though, just make it a reasonable offer.

what's the point of having "1080p playback" on a 600 line screen?

Yeah, I don't like the way they advertise that either. The only way you get 1080p is if you have the dock with the HDMI out on it.

Someone on Woot got their GTab today. Says its firmware is 3389, one step below 3558. So everyone should be good to go with modding it. One of the XDA mods said to go ahead and do the OVA update to 3558 first. Here

Still waiting on mine. Looks like I am in the second round of shipments. May not get it till end of week. Almost tempted to get the one from Tiger Direct and get it by tuesday.

007 03-26-2011 11:34 AM

Mine arrives on Tuesday. :)

I have not even gotten my shipment notice.

That is what I get for waiting until 11:40PM to put my order in I guess. :D

Yeah. If I were to buy it mine would get here Tuesday also. Now if I could sell the other that I bought from Woot i'd probably go for it.

I bought mine around 6PM. However I have received stuff from Woot before without ever receiving the shipping notice. So maybe we'll get lucky.

Is it worth the extra 22 bucks just because you are impatient? LMAO

I've not but I can wait. I had to sell my netbook to get this tablet. I have a feeling that this tablet will be 10x the computer my N270 Atom powered netbook was.
