ViewSonic gTablet 10.1" Multi-touch Tablet Review

Viewsonic gTablet - Viewsonic gTablet is sub-$ 500 Android Tablet PC on the market in the future. Although that won ' t be any shortage of cheap Android tablets, readers, toasters (we have to win the race, the first smart toaster PreCentral guys!) from this Friday, a few keep hardware-wise and its gTablet is one of them. Just so happens that I got the time, unilaterally and in an uncoordinated way, this is better than gTablet to give a quick overview of playing a few days before.

Normally, none of us here dare review device we haven ' t putting nThe via steps, but this one is a little different, "" because it is much more useful before Black Friday, which will be later. Hit the break to see the review of the aid which will scan gTabet. A special thanks to Chip!

Hardware - Viewsonic gTablet
First of all, easy to take a blow of eye in the gTablet itself. The simplest way to do this with a video and in always take me one easy.

Yes, it's slick package. One bad thing to say about the material is of the view angle screen . The screen looks great, as you head on. If you don 't , it's junk SettingsUserMy–is not only evil, but impossible to use them. You should know that.



HDMI is nice, let n hope Viewsonic monitors and cables, this one in the dock. And full size USB port (to connect a USB keyboard, this document, and it just works!) is pretty sweet. The rest of the details aren ' t too loudspeaker by either:

That's Yes, very impressive for $400. But don ' t just yet – excited to have many great hardware is killed by poor software. I'm not saying that the software on which is gTab the worst You ever used, but it is up to it in the top five. Have a look and see, I have tried to show the whole enchilada, unedited, so that you can form your own opinion.

Software - Viewsonic gTablet
There's a good set there, but many bad dig through to find it. Big media plays gTab. Music player is to improve the stock Android player, and it plays just about any video, you can throw at it-very good, I might add. Well-designed programs offer just the right amount of information to increase the size of the screen (this is not the phone UI ported over, it was designed with a tablet on the mind), but it is terribly slow. Things that just happen to be top tier Android phone, it seems to take forever to start on gTablet. It fails completely to you to decide if you can handle the user interface until the lag (hopefully) Gets an update to a working state. So far, Viewsonic has done well with these updates, but who knows what the future will hold.

The battery seems fair. To standby mode helps, but even a good five or six hours of tweaking, flashes, and fooling around didn 't kill battery. You use less than half of the h.264 encoded kokopitkä-playing a movie on the battery. The Lake House is accurate. Married guys know what I am talking about.

Hacking - ViewSonic gTablet
GTab receives five star rating for hardware unlocked Bootloader security not hackable no zip lock NAND moved well-formed files stored inside and Flash, thanks to this practice is the same as Viewsonic home computer instead of a Smartphone is locked.

The hardware itself is also able, running on an OS (Android 2.2) that doesn't support both core chip Tegra2. Have a gander.

When some of the kernel source code released (ahem, Viewsonic) things can only get better. Pretty interesting now isn't it? Tegra 2 phones at the operating system with enough support to be really sweet. You can read more about ViewSonic gTablet on Amazon.
