[Q] View sonic G Tablet Dock - G Tablet Accessories

For the New G Tablet
viewsonic/gtablet
I assume the only one available is the one from China?
I'm look a physical keyboard and output the video.
Thanks

You can get them from Steve at his electroniccrap.com store and he ships fast. It's got a USB port, as well as HDMI out, and an ethernet port as well. The only thing I wish it had was a line out for speakers.

iphone plug Gtab docking port

I had been trying to find out what type of port the Viewsonic G Tablets docking port was and couldn't find the answer on the web. But i kept looking at it and couldnt help but see that it looked alot like the iphones charging port. So i tried a stock apple usb charging cable and to my disappointment it didn't fit. But for the sake of curiosity and frustration over not having a docking station that was easy to get in the U.S. I tried wearing down the sides of my old plastic energizer portable charger adapter for the iphone and after some work it fit. The pins even seemed to line up right with each other. My only problem is that i have no way to test if i actually works. So if anyone has and old usb iphone cable and dremel to grind down the sides like i did you can test to see if it is the iphone stock charging port customized not to fit the iphone cable. If anyone tries this please post back because i'm ordering cables to try it myself.
I will buy one Ipad cale to test.
I will buy one 30pin-HDMI adapter for Ipad to test if it is suitable for Malata Zpad..
Not sure if yo have seen the threads but there is a dock available and the same company is still working on a straight cable for hdmi out.
We will keep you guys posted on developments as you are not the only ones wanting them. Keep an eye out for docks here in the next few days.

The dock is available from some distributors in china and made for the ZPAD by Malata (I think). I got one last week and all tested well.
I'm hearing that there may be a few dock floating around here soon for quicker purchase in the US but don't know much more than that.... yet.
Hey guys, so did anyone ever get the g tablet to charge from an iphone cable?

Nope... We have all tried over and over with no luck. it's a proprietary cable that took developers a long time just to get the hdmi out

Get a ready made HDMI docking port
Go to merimobiles.com and order a Malata HDMI docking station for the Malata and Viewsonic gtablet. It's 45.50 US including freight.
I ordered mine on Sept. 6th. got it Sept 20th certified mail from merimobiles.com.

gTab ---> HDMI

Is the only method for this so far the Malata dock? I don't need the other parts of the dock, just the HDMI. Is there anything cheaper to accomplish this? I would LOVE to play my emulators on my 55" LED =D
The only way to get hdmi out from the Gtab currently is the dock. A straight hdmi cable hasn't been developed yet. See this thread for more:

[Q] Can any dock do HDMI out?

I'd really like a dock to keep my wires neat for my home theater however all the docks I've found for the note only have the micro USB port. Does anyone know of an HDMI dock for the note or if the HDMI adapter can be plugged into the port on the standard dock to provide video pass-through ?
Thanks guys!
Mugen is making a dock with HDMI out. Should work for the ATT Note.

Hey Thanks!
Thats the first I've seen with built in HDMI. Seems like a logical feature for any dock made for a device with video out. This will make for a great media center feature.
I will be also purchasing the standard AT&T dock and attempt to connect my Samsung HDMI adapter to the back of it to see if it can handle pass-through. I'll report back here if it works for anyone else curious.

The 1 thing I think the dock is missing...

Is a blue tooth module so you could hook your prime up to the tv and take the dock for typing to the couch and so forth. Having a long ass HDMI cable dangling from the prime is kind of impractical for couch surfing.
Considering the prime's BT issues even that could be a problem lol.
You could buy a bluetooth keyboard with some form of mouse input built in. I have this, which I can't find anywhere anymore, but there looks to be a smaller version here that might do the trick.
There are apps you load so you can control your prime from your Android phone. Like a remote..
I already have a diNovo Edge, great keyboard. I just thought it would make the dock even that much more functional instead of going out and buying another accessory.
Thanks for the app tip and keyboard link. :good:
I'd rather have USB 3.0 as another slot altogether. they could have done it and I would have paid extra for it
I voted to raise the thread star level.
I agree with the Bluetooth for the keyboard cause having a 12' HDMI cable going from my tv to my lap is a bit of a tripping hazard. Also I agree with the addition of a second USB port that is USB 3.0 so data could be transferred faster.
I bet we will see all of these added to the next tablet released by Asus, if not Apple or Microsoft will jump on it and give customers what they are asking for.

My first three "el' cheapo" accessories

Hello everyone,
I am new to the Nexus Player realm and I just want to add a little info for the other owners :good: in order to contribute something that I hope will be of value to someone.
Scooped up some inexpensive add-on's for my Asus Nexus Player:
Microcenter
902080 Inland 4 port mini usb 2.0 hub $4.99
900365 Inland Microusb to usb cable $2.49
445759 IPSG Hiro Usb to LAN adapter $16.99
LAN connection working great. Believe I was having a intermittent wireless issue due to the close proximity of the Nexus Player to my Wireless Modem all directly in back of an LCD TV, must be an EMF nightmare for signals when they are point-blank.
I even plugged in my ancient el' cheapo mini BT keyboard RT-MWK+ and the keyboard and mini touchpad work fantastic, I believe the box stated it was a Rii product and I paid less than $20 shipped, however that was a few years back
