Cant wait to root
I got one this morning along with 4 of my co-workers going to be a handy little gadget! .... that is after I root and apply the appropriate rom
This is a sick deal. Just ordered one.
Hi,
I got mine yesterday and rooted/installed Caulkin's rom. Runs like a dream like 2450 quadrant scores. So nice
Woot woot woot
I ordered one today. Digging through the forums for root instructions and advice. Looking forward to playing with this one on the weekend.
There is going to an influx of Gtab users. I had about 6 friends and family order one lol.

I just saw the Taxesuck discount, but already bought one from Texas. Well it's only 5 bucks .
In for one! Once it arrives I'll NEVER get any work done (of course that was the case with my HD2 too).
One of my sons has been drooling over my Gtab since Christmas, and I've been feeling bad because we had gotten him something else already. So thanks for the chance to 'redeem' myself at less $ !
In for 1...

WOOTED and Registered in a half hour.....
Saw the Viewsonic G Tablet on Slickdeals and went to WOOT. Bought. Went to XDA, looked around. Registered.
Really looking forward to rooting and hopefully having a decent tablet when I go to England in two weeks. Is that possible? Maybe, but I have a LOT to learn for sure.
thank you! just came upon this thread and ordered one for myself!

apparently woot takes a couple weeks to ship things out???
just heard through the grapevine, hope it's not true and you get it in time
Thanks for the tip, just ordered one as well.
they charge me $25 for tax, and I live in NYC
Your order number 33067964 for 1 ViewSonic gTablet 10.1" Multi-touch Tablet has been received by Woot on 3/23/2011 and your credit card has been charged $310.28.
on 3/23/2011, you successfully wooted.
order 33067964
You want 1
ViewSonic gTablet 10.1" Multi-touch Tablet
You ordered 1 ViewSonic gTablet 10.1” 16GB Multi-touch Tablet - Android 2.2, microSD, USB, 802.11n, Flash, DivX.
which each cost $279.99
for a subtotal of $279.99
plus tax + $25.29
plus shipping + $5.00
for a total of $310.28
Bought one too. Already have a Nook Color rooted 2-3 times, so rooting this one will be a small learning curve. Couldn't resist this price. Went by Office Depot on the way home from work just to look at one and test it. Decided the screen wasn't as poor as some have said. Sure, the viewing angles are bad. But I'll be the only one using it and sharing isn't an issue. Straight on viewing is really sharp. Bottom line, Tegra 2 processor, 10.1 inch, high resolution, 802.11n for $279.99 plus $5 shipping (no tax for me)! That's got to be one of the best deals of the year. Clerk at Office Depot told me they don't have them in stock because the company basically stopped selling them when the new model was announced. He said they would be getting the new one next month. Even so, they had their GTablet "on sale" for $379.99 plus tax!
Guilty too, just ordered a couple myself

Sorry, but woot's shipping is about 7-10 working days and my experience (just two states away) is on the high side of that. I wish they would introduce premium shipping for a few bucks, they would make a lot more money. That's ok, it will be worth the wait. Once you root, install CWM and load a good ROM - you will be glad you pulled the trigger.
Does England even have wi-fi? They sure don't seem to have dentists.

My G-Tablet had the horrible hissing audio problem so I took it back to my local staples for a refund. Amazingly enough they took it even though I bought it in November.
So what should I get next with my staples credit... They have the Moto Xoom, Blackberry Playbook, and will soon have the Dell Streak 7 and Acer Iconia Tab.
Buy my new in the box Gtab of course. #2 of 2 I got from woot.
I thought staples pulled these puppies months ago.
They did... I bought it 6 months ago
If you can Wait for the Samsung 10.1v
Ive had a play with it and its prob the perfect tablet ever.....
Size/Wieght/Screen/Design
Its really good.
Only bad thing is no USB or Sd card slot, it has the dock connector for those things.
I think the Asus Eeee Transformer with keyboard dock for $550 is pretty sweet.
I am leaning HARD toward the Iconia A500
I would love the Asus Transformer but Staples is not carrying it and they gave me store credit.
Currently leaning toward the Acer Iconia

Holy moly, they took it back after 6 months? Cool!
Yeah I was quite surprised. I checked online with their Chat Support when I was at work and then returned it on the way home. If that didn't work I was going to have to go through the lengthy repair process with US Merchants.

There are a lot of stores that will take back products without receipt. I used to work at office depot about 6 years ago and we would take just about anything back without receipts. The catch is that you get store credit and that you get the lowest value for the product in the system. So if the device was on sale at some point you get the sale price in a refund.
I actually had the receipt... I was just surprised they took it back after their 14 day return period.
After Gtablet - you should get the Asus Transformer - Iconia is too heavy, too thick and their stock apps are not that useful.
I could see myself with Asus Transformer without rooting, nvflash, backup/flashing/re-flashing..etc.
Even though I will keep my Gtablet for the life of $100/2 year Accidental damage and good for my 3-year-old down to play games on it - anything happens to my Gtablet within 2 years even my daughter breaks it - I will get the brand new gtablet or equivalent!
Howver for myself, Asus Transformer will be my next Android tablet - looks so cool and almost no need to download anything else - such Polaris Office, stock widget, stock youtube widget, calendar onscreen rolling...etc and MyNet, unlimited cloudstorage - patience, patience and patience - Sept 1st will be good time to buy - at that time, the tablet maybe $349
And who knows 4 more months - XDA will have Gtablet ROM HoneyComb 3.0 ....
thx
I voted Playbook, but I've been following it since day one. Got the chance to mess around with it a bit at Office Max and fell in love. Seemed like such a durable, well-built device. Just hate how it loads web pages rather slowly :/

I can't wait for my ASUS! I have to have it DAY ONE! i don't want to order it online and then have to wait after release. Is there an online preorder supply as well as a first come first serve supply or something?
I figured i could just drive down to my future shop and preorder it in person and pick it up in person, is that possible?

Best Buy will most likely have them on launch day.. I am pretty sure they had the original Transformer released on launch day as well.. I remember this well because I figured they wouldn't sell out fast.. I was dead wrong and had to wait for months before Best Buy restocked them because they were selling so fast due to the $399.99 pricing for the originals.
Since these are $499.99 starting, they should be a little more available.. But still 32gig for $100 cheaper than iPad2's 32gb model.

Getting it mainly to use as a gaming device, but after reading that the GPU isnt as good as Ipad2's its giving me some doubt. Any thoughts on this?

Ok. Well, since you've owned several Ipad 2 units, returned them because they did not satisfy your needs, then the next logical step is the Prime. Right? Or did I misunderstand your original question?

Best Buy ships release day. They did it when I pre-ordered the Samsung GT 10.1. Some Portland stores only received the grey 10.1's on actual release day and the white ones didn't arrive til the following week.

Probably the point was:
iOS gaming is generally (IMO) better than Android tablet gaming (just based off of avalible games and quality)
iPad 2 has the strongest mobile GPU, by a long shot.
He didn't even like iPad 2 gaming, why would a TF Prime be better? <--- answering that, I think is what he wanted. I could be wrong, though.

I'm 99.995% certain no brick-and-mortar had the TF101 on launch day, and I highly doubt anybody will have the TF201 on launch day, either. I'd expect B&Ms to get the TF201 some time from mid Jan to mid Feb, depending on how well supply keeps up with demand online.
New to this forum so excuse me for relying on the awesome XDA community but is this worth $240? Brand new 32gb (wifi only of course), mint condition with case, hp keyboard, all cables, etc.
If so, I need to make a commitment in the next few hours, your input is appreciated!
Very tempted to purchase and go dual-boot with CM7. Just rooted my buddies TouchPad and kind of digging it. I figure I can sell my iPad2 and recoup the expenses.
Considering they are going for around that much or more on eBay, I think that would be a good deal.
Didn't even think to check ebay honestly, I had ran a quick craigslist run but nothing beyond that. Thanks for the tip.
32 or 16 gb?
With newer stuff coming out this year like a tegra 3 tablet that only costs 250, I guess that the magic price point of the touchpad has to be about 200 for the 32GB model for it to be worth it.

32GB, updated the initial post. Yeah, I was thinking $240 was only questionable because I was getting case + HP keyboard with the deal. I could arguably sell my ipad2 for $4-500 pretty easily and get my money back and as much as I liked my pad, I could find ways to love an Android tablet instead. Plus it seemed the dev for this thing has moved so quickly, it seemed to be a safe bet for the cost.
Ya very good deal I got mine for 280 with 16 gb and nothing else so you should buy better than most tablets around that price even the ones that cost more
that's a very good deal, especially considering that you're getting the case and keyboard.
Good deal, buy, install ICS and welcome to the bunch!

I need help protecting my Prime. So my daughter is always asking to "Play" with my Prime..I just can't let that happen..not yet. Yesterday she turned 9 and she received a whopping $400 in cash from friends and family, now she wants to buy a tablet like mine. I would like to keep it Android of course and around $300 -$350. Her mom has a Kindle Fire ,but the UI seems a little to difficult for her to navigate (Carousel). She does have experience playing with her mothers Samsung Fascinate phone and I see that Best Buy has the 7" Samsung Galaxy Tab on Sale this week. Is that a good option in your opinion? Or should I go after an Original Asus Transformer or maybe something else?

We gave our 3 year old our Dell Streak 7, and bought our daughter the Vizio tablet for Christmas, that way they no longer ask for our two new primes.
Make sure you buy one with Gorilla glass. Also, the nook Tablet is $199 and is far superior to the Kindle Fire. Great choice for a 9 year old.

Nook Tablet all the way. bought one for my girlfriend for christmas. she kept asking to see my prime... and at 23 yrs old, she just doesnt have the maturity to handle it yet (god i hope she doesnt secretly troll XDA) lol
i rooted her Nook Tablet, and stripped the Barnes and Noble UI in favor of straight gingerbread, then got her golauncher set up how she likes. kindle fire seems to have more support, but the Nook has better hardware all around.

Best Buy has the black TF300T for $279. Ordered online last night, picked up this morning at 8am when they opened.
I have a Kindle Fire that I installed a new ROM on to make it an Android tablet, but I'm 60 years old and .... it was kinda small. I envied my wife's iPad for it's screen real estate. But didn't want an iPad. This, I think will do nicely.

Yesterday i went to best buy and purchased 2 of these. 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. I was between this and the toshiba excite 10 and ultimatly chose the Asus because of the developer support for it. The Toshiba still hasn't been able to root yet so i didn't want to chance it. I wanted to find a device that would last me a while and would get Firmware upgrades via developers should the Asus decide to stop supporting it. Needless to say im loving it.
yay
Congratulations on the tablet. I went to Visions yesterday and got one for $278 and managed to charge it fully by noon and then drained it to less than 12% by early evening.
They charged me an environmental fee of 7.28 also + tax.
I'm pretty happy with it except for the proprietary charging connector.
I got the blue one.
Enjoy. Cant believe they have come down in price this much. I paid £400 ($650) less than a year ago
Put on CleanRom and you'll love it
I just ordered mine from Best Buy for $279 and the keyboard for $99. It was a steal.
I own a Nexus 7, so this will be interesting. Same processor though.

Got mines the day after christmas too at best buy. They have an exclusive deal with the black model thats why it's so low. I was using an archos 80g9 until this and before that Nook tablet CM Team A, Acer A500(in decending order). This is easily the best of any tablet I've used let alone owned. I almost dont wanna use a custom rom cuz I don't wanna mess anything up lol. I love this thing though, cant wait to get the keyboard.
Hi!
For me it was a pretty well deal , purchased in august for 350E , and Keyboard for 110E !
Device is great in all respects :good:

Its actually pretty easy to flash recovery. As far as root, I just went ahead and flashed a custom ROM that was already rooted.
There are some great tutorials in here that explain step by step what needs to be done. I had recovery on mine with a custom ROM in about 10 or 15 minutes. That included all the reading . Lol.
Word from the wise, use TWRP instead of CWM.

Had a similar experience at bestbuy. I checked online the day before and it was listed at $279. Got to the store a day later and they said they were not aware of the tablet ever being priced at $279. They insisted that the price was always $299. Asked them to check the website, but that was changed to $299. I insisted that the price was listed at $279 for about a month and asked to speak to the manager, five minutes later the sales person came back a and said the manager would honor that price. Persistence pays off. So far I`m really loving this tablet, coming from a Galaxy Tab Plus 7

The TF300 is a fantastic tablet. After holding a couple of iPads you really appreciate its light weight, and after hacking away at a few onscreen keyboards you really appreciate the keyboard dock. I find I am liking mine more the longer I own it.
I got the same deal. Pretty sweet.
It's only 16gb, I guess, but I already have a 32gb SD for my phone anyway, so I can always transfer that to the tab if need be.
i got a blue 16gb on amazon for $195 after Christmas sale. i couldn't pass that deal up. then i got a black keyboard dock from bestbuy for $49.99 last week. loving this tablet and love that it cost the same as my nexus 7!
