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.

lol, I thought Steve should jump on this and restock his e-store
I been thinking of getting it for past week.. It looks like a nice unit.. I'm new to the tab/smart phone arena.. Never had either of both..
I can get it for $230+ tax seems like the best tab for around that price.. One thing was can I increase the storage on the tab easily.. all this and that about roms and such.. Are they easy to use and can they really increase the speed of the tab and such.. Thx alot.
Our best rom, urukdroid, is nearly perfect and with an additional kernel from sibere the tab is really fast..
But:
If you can wait and if you want the fastest tablet in the world yet, wait for the generation 9 of arfhos tablets, only one month left they are really great tablets, you can find specs here at the forum
I bought it in November last year, at that time only Galaxy Tab, I-Pad and Archos was available... it was ok to buy the tablet to get familiar with Andoid-based Tablets.
At this point of time I would prefer another one with at least 512MB RAM. Agree, for that price it seems to be the best one, but if you are able to spend a few more bucks - do it I think I will buy a new one by end of this year, but I dont think it will be the Archos Gen9.
The specs of the newer ones do seem impressive, but does anyone know what kinda price point they may have.. It seems it could bring a much higher price then current models new tech and all.. And how i hate waiting lol..

urukdroid is far away from "nearly perfect" (maybe it seems like because there is not really any competition in developing for archos devices, which does say enough about archos devices at all), it's a mess and the ui/unmodified framework from archos is ugly like gnome was 10 years ago, and its not even $aurons fault alone (except he does not like android and google services at all), but because of archos not affording more than part-time developers on their devices and not releasing an actual kernel version with the hardware drivers to run a full actual android version (yes android, if i wanted some debian workarounds/services like samba server i'd bought a barebone and put debian on it, oh, wait i have allready). the only advantage: it's cheap, all said.
archos - it will take a time for me to ever buy something again from them, clearly not gen9 as there are alternatives out by now and i clearly don't want a cheap but useless toy for a few month until they get bored at archos with it again.
and this permanently canonising urukdroid and archos in this forum is really painful.
Best if you'll really wait for the new gen9, because they'll have the same price as the gen8 and they will be faster
The Archos fans forum has links to the US archos.com store which has a sale: $200 for the 8G SSD version and $250 for the 250 G HD version.

Looking for recommendations of an older model tablet that I can buy and that can be rooted and loaded with custom Honeycomb rom, prefer one that supports additional storage and decent cpu.
If I could afford it I'd buy a Xoom!
Thanks,
Fred

Well, that's what I went with. Normally couldn't afford it myself, but Wal-Mart seems to have started carrying the WiFi Xoom as well as a few other tablets (at least around here,anyway). The Xoom was 500 bucks before tax, but everything else was 400 or less.
Hope that helps.

Just checked Walmart online - $499.00 still kinda high, that's why I'm looking for alternatives that I can load Honeycomb rom, like maybe the Viewsonic Viewpad or the Asus Eee Transformer - hovering around $370.00
I've been surfing around for a cheap android tablet running ICS and I found the HK-10K. Problem is I have no idea if it's a rebrand or a knock off or what:
http://www.merimobiles.com/HK_10K_10inch_Android_4_0_Amlogic_AML8726_M_ARM_Co_p/meri3551.htm
Anyone have anything good or bad to say about these?
Wow! i want one!
been looking for some decent fake ICS tablet with decent spec for a while
but it's only single core 1.2 Ghz still not bad
1 GB RAM
great for games, which is what i want it for
$205 price tag + free shipping sounds great
however the only gotcha i don't like is that website, never deal with them, can't say if they are safe or not
time to check DX and see if they carry it
Feedback
Yeah, I'm familiar with the product. I'm one of a growing number of tablet users who enjoys operating the pinch/zoom feature by placing my testicles on the tablet and manipulating them with a combination of muscle contraction, ice cubes, and prostate stimulation. In the short time I had to test this product at Best Buy I found it satisfied all my demands and then some. You'll find you don't need to shave as often since the screen is durable enough to take even several days worth of stubble without scratching and the front facing camera has exceptional micro detail for close range "aiming down the sights" photography.
All in all this is great product and fantastic bargain. I'll definitely be buying one immediately after posting bail.
1024x600 for 10.1" screen? Really?
Even though it's not released yet, but this look more optimistic.

They are safe, I bought MID816 from them last year.
Ordered mine a week ago, shipping should take 2-3 weeks. Know alot of peeps who ordered on this website, all orders were delivered.
Just recieved mine yesterday. Overall pretty nice tablet and well worth its money. Unfortunatly ive have problem with the battery and I hope someone here has an idea on how to fix this. Cus I dont feel like shipping the device back to Hong Kong all the way from the Netherlands :/
Once its fully charged ill disconnect the tablet and the percentage drops to like +/-60%. Sometimes its a lil above it, sometimes its a lil lower. And it also drains the juice like a moddafokka.. I can maybe use for 1 hours nonstop, then it has to charge again.
Now I know i bought a budget device from some unknown brand, but still shouldnt this be a little better?
On adroid phones its possible calebrate your battery. Not sure if you need root access for this though. Should that be possible with a tablet like this aswell? And does any of you know any way to make this happen? Or at least fix my batter issues. Cus I hate paying 200 dollars for this kind of crap.
Any other advice regarding this issue is very much appericiated.
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!
