Viewsonic G tablet-A fantastic surprise!

I've been closly following android tablet news, so when I heard that sears had released a 10 inch tablet with android 2.2, a front facing webcam, the tegra 2 chipset, 512mb or Ram, a multi-touch capacitive screen, and with a price tag of under 400 dollars, I was shocked that I hadn't been hearing news about it for weeks.  Needless to say I went down to the local sears to see if they had any in stock, and sure enough they did!

Now my initial impressions of this device were not good.  I took off the screen protector and noticed there was still air bubbles under the screen.  WTF!!! I flattened them out for the most part but was still somewhat irked.  I went to turn on the device and a bunch of apps force closed, and I couldn't get to the settings to access my wifi!

At this point I was about ready to return it, but I figured I'd let it charge while I talked to tech support at View sonic.  After a bit of difficulty I found out that viewsonic has a dedicated support line for the G-tablet at 866-501-6405.  Once I talked to the tech support rep he said that the bubbles were actually under the secondary protective film that is meant to stay on the device, and to get rid of the bubbles I just needed to place scotch tape on the corner of the screen, then pull up the protective layer and replace it while smoothing out airbubbles.  Worked like a charm!  As for the FC issue, he hadn't heard of it, so I rebooted the device to see if it was an inital startup issue, and on the second boot I had no problems at all.  I didn't even have to stay on hold to talk to the very helpful viewsonic rep.  After getting those 2 issues taken care of I'm slowly falling in love with this tablet!  It has not native app market support at the moment, but you can still use the getjar.com store or download the .apk's through the browser and install apps that way.  

For under 400 dollars this tablet is a steal, it has great features, excellent hardware, and excellent dedicated tech support.  I have no doubt that the hardware will be compatible with the upcoming Android Gingerbread update.  My only 2 gripes are that it could use a standard usb port on top of the mini port that it has, but I can always use an adapter.  Also the secondary UI they have placed over android is a bit annoying, but It doesn't really limit the functionality, and I'm sure i'll be able to replace it eventually.

 

Bottom Line:  Anyone complaining about this tablet has either been too lazy to call tech support, had this confused with another upcoming viewsonic 10 inch tablet, or they just love to complain about good products.

Relating To Viewsonic G Tablet "Don't BUY"

Although sears is displaying the dual boot Viewsonic "ViewPad" the item I will tell you not to buy is the 10" G-Tablet.  This may apply to ViewPad too.  No support! VS tech support can't even locate any of the 10" G-tablets info.  The phone support provided "Quick Start Guide" is no longer in service.  Most apps don't work. Flash is outdated and no way to update it.  There is no settings to update the firmware. Viewsonic.com/gtablet has no support for this product, although stated in documentation to go to their help page.  The ViewPad is out 11/2/10 and this model has not support either.  I call tech from another number for the G-Tablet and they can't even find the product.  So, Viewsonic has push to get the tablets out before preparing/ready to provide product support by phone and website. 

Also, the main screen is a weather page - Can't change it! G-tablet is heading back to sears.

Don't buy it. Nothing but headaches.

I have had this tablet for over 6 months and get nothing but problems and error alerts.

Android OS i not what it is advertised and apparently backed up by Google.  Apps will not install at all.  Alert "No device attached'"  (Phone).. I f you don"t have an Android phone you are out of luck.

Decent Tablet - Hardware

There's a condition for all of my review points here so read the whole thing. The hardware on this is nice. The capacitive touchscreen works very well. The battery works respectfully well. All-in-all it's a nice buy for the money, although it is a bit on the heavy side regarding weight. The bundled OS has many limitations. If one were to upgrade the tablet using directions at droidpiratedotcom one would experience all that I mentioned above. Following, the app market works flawlessly, xyplayer plays flash through software encode, market software does ssh and scp if you need. Does remote desktop through an app I can't remember the name. I'm keeping my tablet. Oh, the camera wasn't the greatest.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Best price to performance ratio..

THis is awesome tablet with very powerful hardware..but unfortunaltey the stock view sonic rom is letting it down..

and many people are giving it bad reviews for very same reason..

here is thing after buying this thing you need to go xda developers forums , from there you will find instructions to install clockwork mod and a custom rom called a TNT lite..These roms are much faster, smooth and stable and have android market in them.. ( and you dont have to be a geek to do it simple instruction a total of 5 min process.))

once you done that you will be like in your face ipad 2 owners...

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Nice Tablet for the Money.

First off you can get this tablet alot cheaper elsewhere. I paid $279.99 for mine on ****** via Woot. With that being said this tablet is great for the price. The hardware is pretty good and the tablet is capable of much more than how it comes from the factory. The first thing i did after charging mine was rooted it. Then I coimpletely changed the rom. Once I did that, this tablet rocks. I now have the Market, and complete access to the protential this tablet has. If you are a standard out of the box user then I suggest buying something else.The standard os is a little chunky/slow. It is great that this tablet has expandable memory (MicroSD card slot) and available USB ports. You dont get either of those with an iPad, not to mention flash.

One downside this tablet does have is I have had a hard time finding any accessories for it. I did get a universal neoprene sleave and a set of really nice screen protectors that cover the front and back of the tablet. This isnt the greatest tablet on the market but its not the worst either. I'd say its a middle line tablet full of potential for advanced users. If you can get it for the right price.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Look out IPad, the Android is coming for you...

This tablet has more potential than is first obvious. I bought it for my wife for her birthday, and I don't think a day has gone by that she doesn't tell me how much she loves it. It needs some tweaking out of the box to get it working as smoothly as possible. But with a little help from the internet and about 1 hr of time, it's a huge success.

If you don't like technical tweaking, you will need some help, the Tap N Tap software that comes with it is atrocious. But the tablet's potential lies in it's great power and specs, and the open sourch android operating system. It only took about and hour, maybe less, and she was downloading free games and apps galore.

She even uses it to manage her grocery and shopping lists! The battery life is awesome!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Great hardware, average stock software

I am techie and honestly, the tablet is awesome. It has a great hardware and right screen size. With the right custom-rom, this will compete with iPad, if not beat it. The stock rom is little sluggish and may not appeal to a buyer. I have a custom rom installed and it just flies. I have to say mostly Pros for this item. the biggest negative things about this are, unable find the right flip case and on the weight it is little heavier. Basically, accessories are limited.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Excellent! If you load TnT lite software.

Bought the Gtablet in early December of 2010. Out of the box the software was not very impressive. Went to XDA developers and downloaded their software (free) for the gtab and I have an awesome, reliable, tablet. I can do just about anything with it. It can hold its own with just about any tablet on the market. Including the Ipad.

Get one
