Other than HDMI, listed specs look the same as GTablet.
This looks interesting, but they don't state what the CPU is.
I noticed that for the gTablet beneath it, they show Dual Core and so on. This one simply says 1GHz. I'm curious about this tablet too.
on the viewsonic site its listed as a Intel Pine Trail N455 1.66ghz cpu
I think that's a single core.

The N4XX line is in fact single core. And as a point of reference, the Snapdragon processor uses only 1/4 of the power consumption of the Atom, so I would expect battery life to be significantly less with heavy usage.
It is funny that many people whom are buying the G-tablet from Sears are thinking they are getting the Viewpad 10S. Now are we going to see people buying the G-tablet end up getting a Viewpad 10S in their hands.
Viewpad 10 & 10s
http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/viewsonic-viewpad-10-and-10s-hands-on/
Looks like the 10s is gtab V2
Almost identical specs..... hmmmm better screen? :-D
Interesting enough this 10s says Russia, Europe and Asia only...look like we might be able to source some upgraded parts.
I think one of the features we missed was the optional 3G. That seems like a bonus, and maybe then we'd be able to use the location feature.
Also, what is this "G-Sensor"? Would this add an extra axis, such as an accelerometer? Ive noticed playing some games, such as doodle jump, that there is no accelerometer when you're holding it portrait tilting it side to side. Does anyone know what the g-sensor is?
10s looks better than the gtab, I like that they move the main screen a little bit toward to the bottom boarder, and there are no physical buttons (ready for honeycomb), the back looks much better without the "G-tablet" logo and it looks a little bit thinner too. The interesting thing is that the software is not TNT, it looks more like the Vegan or Advent Vega don't you think?
Anyways, cannot tell whether the screen is a better one since when I hold my gtablet the same way, my screen looks very good too.. (just the viewing angle sucks).
EDIT: just looked at the first generation of Advent Vega tablet, it is virtual the same as 10s.. just the shell looks a little bit different. Man, it looks like another rebrand..

The 10S has a Tegra 2, same as the G-tab.
Not sure of any specific advantages other than HDMI. It would nice if it drove the price of used G-tabs down.
10S looks like it has about the same specs as the g. The 10S back looks sooo sooo much more like a real product and not some import knock off. I hope the screen size is the same but with better viewing angles...maybe it means g will finally find a decent panel replacment. Also sounds like VS is not bailing on the tablet market and with the two slates being so close in specs I cannot imagine not seeing Android 3.0 roms for the gTablet. If the 10s screen is much better I might just pick one up and give my parents my old g but I have a feeling it is a mediocre step up if any.
10S has a 512 Mb NAND, but G-tablet 16 gigabytes
People seem to be micing up the dual-booting, atom based, 10 and the 10s, which is an Android device almost identical the gtablet.
From engadget's hands-on of the 10s.
"The 10's sister, the 10s (also a 10.1-inch slate), is launching later this month. However, this tablet is running a skinned version of Android 2.2 on Tegra 2. On the top of the device you'll find the power button, orientation lock and back button. Don't ask us why the back button is up there -- we're just as puzzled as you are. On the right side, you'll find a hinged door hiding an HDMI, USB 2.0 and Micro SD slot. Don't worry, there's a 3.5mm headphone port and volume rocker so you can awkwardly rock out connected to the giant gadget piece. The 10s is only launching in Europe, Asia and Russia and is said to cost a rounded 430 smackaroos."
So this begs the question....do I hold out for the 10s North American version or just get the gtablet. I've read reviews that say the 10s screen has the same viewing angle issues as the g tablet. I'm thinking the g tablet will go on sale here pretty soon too.
Actually after max 7 days i will be owner of Viewsonic Viewpad 10s. Then i can make "hands on" review. And this is not yet all folks. I go open this animal to pieces. And this is not yet all folks. I make photos and guides how to do that to not broken your if you get it.
yeah, the screen, if it is bette,r is an advantage, but it looks the same. HDMI i can live without. It is a portable electronic is it not or are we going to start carrying our 55 inch dlp tvs with an extension cord in a backpack. I'm sure targus would be happy. But my main concern on top of the screen of course would be battery. Once again, it is suppose to be portable? and according to the specs 4 hour batt life is nothing to get thrilled about. just my 2 cents.

4 hours?? Are you sure that's not for the dual-boot one? The 10s is the same hardware (speculating about the screen) than the gtablet.
I went and played with the gtablet today in store and was not impressed. The build quality seems pretty good, but the screen viewing angles were pretty crappy. They bolt down the thing at a certain angle for a reason on display it seems. Although, I'd love a chance to play with a VEGAN version. The stock software killed my experience, and I'm sure 99% of the other shoppers.
i did a little searching before i bought the g tab, and saw there are custom roms available. so on the way to the store to pick it up i downloaded the rom on my phone bought the tab and flashed right away. i have no idea what the original rom issues are, since the only time i messed with it was the 10 mins at the depot. gotta say though...love the tab...but needs a better screen. even my lenovo s10 has a better screen.

I have a Galaxy tab2 and its a total Turd. Just picked up a Z3v phone and Im beyond happy with it. Are the tablets worth getting ?? I dont really care about development any more, just want a solid performer
I had a galaxy tab 2. This is in a different league. I've had it a year now and no issues. Never had any issues without enough memory or that it's struggled with. Really really fast. Light too and awesome battery life. Very high quality. Check how little the price has dropped since launch compared to samsung tab pro. Shows how good it is!

What model# are you talking about, there seems to be a few versions out there, Also does it take the standard Micro USB for charger
I'd buy another Sony in a heartbeat. I have the following tablets.....Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, LG Pad 8.3, and the Sony Xperia 2. The LG is great when I'm out all day and just want something small...the Note Pro 12.2 is my work horse, and the Sony is the device I go to when the Note is too big and the LG is too small. The Note 10.1 has been officially retired as of this afternoon when I gave it to my mom. All in all, I Sony is not as heavy handed with their UI, and I love the form factor (thinness) of the device.
Again the question is what model to get as there seems to be some variations. What about the changer is it microUsb
I haven't had mine that long but I would buy another one. Hoping to get Z4 when they are released. Also have a Note 10.1 2014, which will be for sale shortly, & a Note 8 which is normally what I take if I leave the house.
I was keen on the Z4 because of the specs and super lightweight!
Then I couldn't wait and bought a Z2 with LTE, including voice phone. (I rarely call d use a headset).
My wife has the original Z and loves it. Never an issue.
The Z2 has the headset port open = no fidgeting with the plastic cap. And the Z2 has a magnetic charging dock, which can be bought for a couple of bucks.
If LTE is important to you, Sony is the choice since they typically have the highest number of bands (frequencies).

If you mean tab 2 model. I had this one It used a stupid Samsung iphone-copy cable for charging. If you mean Z2 tablet, they all have the same processor and RAM. I bought the 32GB wifi version. For £410 a year ago and it's only dropped £10 in a year (if you buy from Amazon). There are three main models. SGP511 (16GB wifi), SGP512 (32GB wifi) and SGP521 (16GB wifi & 4g/LTE). There are some with different model numbers but similar specs if you are buying from foreign countries. Depends where you are from.
The Sony can be charged from micro-usb, but you have to lift up a slot to get to it. I use the magnetic charging contacts on the bottom as they are always exposed. Never had any issues using it with a cheap magnetic charging cable I bought on Ebay. Not the strongest magnets in the world if you want to use the tablet while it's charging, but I don't do that. I tend to charge it overnight. If I did use it when charging I'd buy a magnetic charging dock.
Yeah Im interested in the Sony NOT the Samsung. Im ready to use that Samsung as a wheel chock for my truck

I managed to sell my tab 2 10.1 on ebay for £100 with some accessories a few months ago! It was in perfect condition though and had Samsung case and a Dock and several cables though.
I also went from an Galaxy Tab 2 towards this tablet. I'm not a really big fan of Sony's UI but it's much better then Samsung's.
My next tablet would probably be another Sony (if the bezels are smaller) or a Nexus tablet.
Hello !! I have a cracked screen on my old Mi A3....a screen goes for around 130 € and where i live , the phone goes for 140 € brand new....i found online that Huawei launched the Y6 with an HD+ screen , 6.09 inches like the Mi A3 which is 30 € . It's an LCD of course... You think i could try it ???? I know the fingerprint won't work since it requires an amoled with a hole ...
Your display drivers will missing, It won't work.
So basically o throw not away or Keep it only for parts .....sad but it was worth the shot haha
The connecters are different from different manufacturer.
