I really don't know much about these tablets or which one to get, but recently I've been considering getting one. Is this one worth it in your opinion?

If you plan to Root it/ Hack it /Mod it - yes one of the best on the market to do such things

If thats not you're bag - there are better options

It is worth every penny, as slag said, if you plan on rooting it and playing with the different roms that are available. Just plain out of the box? Not so much.

Also, take into consideration that ViewSonic has pretty much abandoned all support for this product. Don't expect any firmware or OS updates. If you can deal with that, it's a heck of a deal. I enjoy mine.

Is rooting it or modding it out a difficult process. Something that I'd be able to do myself or would I have to take it somewhere to do such. I mean it looks like a nice machine and it seems many of you enjoy yours after modding them. Also I read a few reviews on them and some people have complained about the viewing angle no being so good on them....is it really as bad as they say, or not so much?

ragedogg69 06-06-2011 02:12 PM

I wont lie. the view angle sucks balls. But it is not a deal breaker for me. The modding community has done a superb job of supporting the device when viewsonic hasnt. Using clockwork mod, very little can go wrong when you mod your Gtablet.

The only other tablet i would consider is the asus because of the keyboard dongle.

Good to know all this stuff....all great input from you guys has inspired me to go ahead with the purchase of one of these. When I get it I'll probably be referring back here when it comes to modding/ rooting it since I'm unfamiliar as to how its done. However it doesn't sound too difficult a process.

Worth every penny thanks to the modding community.

Netflix is now working for the GTab. No hack needed. The hack never worked well anyways. This really improves the GTab.

now to just get those honeycomb alphas to beta.

Shocked at how well Jelly Bean runs on the Gtablet.
