I'm looking to buy a tablet an I'm eyeing this cuz of great value so can u give me quick review on the tab
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
right now, no, do not buy a Gtablet. They have not released any real updates since January. It's currently selling for about $260 on Woot and Tiger Direct sales.
My Stepfather just got an Acer Iconia at Staples with a $100 coupon. It's far superior to the Gtablet. It comes packaged with Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), is relatively young, meaning that you'll get at least a few more months of updates, the screen is better...blah, blah, blah.
All in all, the Gtablet is good, but not becuase of Viewsonic, but becuase of devs on forums like this one. The hardware is nice, nad the potential is there. But without help from Viewsonic, we will not have fully functional gingerbread or honeycomb.
Your best bet is to get somethign else.

TJ is telling you the straight truth. There are many other options out there for you other than spending your money on a tablet that Viewsonic has simply walked away from after 6 months. You will be left with an orphaned tablet. If you could get it for $100.00 or so it would be a different story. I'm so upset with Viewsonic, I won't ever spend $.01 with them again.
might be worth it if its dirt cheap, cause there's lots of better tablets coming out. Still, this tablet can hold its own, has good specs and im running Honeycomb smoothly on it. Its not perfect yet, but its still a pretty good ROM. my only real gripe right now is the screen, check out some of the other tablets before jumping on this one. The Archos G9 80 and 101 will be out soon if you want a cheap tablet, they look really interesting and much better than their last tablets: 1.5 Ghz Dual Core CPU, 250gb hdd as an option, they will have the market, so no work arounds needed, unlike their last tablets and also the Gtablet.
Archos G9 Specs
If you can get a used one for less than $200, then it will still be a good buy.
I wouldn't count on an upgrade from Android 2.2 . But there may soon be the Linux MeeGo distro available for nVidia Tegra devices. If that happens this tablet will really be useful.
I just broke my G-Tab & was contemplating as to whether I should buy a replacement screen (if possible), a new one, or a different android tab altogether. In the end though after much debating & thinking about the android os in terms of out the box usage & functionality I decided to go with a Windows 7 based tablet. What drew me away from the G-Tab was not so much its hardware (screen excluded) but more-so its support from Viewsonic & androids ability to just "get it & go".
I'm not knocking the android o/s but it still has a long way to come to reach that level. All I can say is keep your mind open, look around, weigh the price vs specs vs features & don't dismiss other options in regards to the o/s.
I purchased my EXOPC off ebay for $475 & cannot be happier with the specs it lists (to name a few):
11.6 inch screen @ 1366 x 768 Resolution, 16:9 Wide-screen Ratio
Intel Atom Pineview-M N450, 1.66 GHz (supports 64-bit)
Storage Capacity 32 Gigabyte or 64 Gigabyte Solid State Drive (SSD)
2 Gigabytes DDR2 SDRAM
Intel GMA 3150 & Broadcom Crystal HD 1080p (supports up to 1080p high-definition video)
The biggest point though is the ability to run ALL windows apps on this bad boy as well as install Linux, MeeGo, Splashtop etc. etc.
from the press release- new 7" and a 9"- the OS is upgraded to a custom android 4.0 version....hopefully the original nook tablets will get this upgrade so we can figure out the random reboot etc problems

Wow, nice.
You be honest, after Microsoft pumped all that money into the nook platform at the beginning of the year, I seriously expected them to be running Win 8. Glad to see them sticking with Android.

Hopefully this means the Tablet will get bumped to ICS shortly after they ship these, though they may not to encourage sales of the new tablets (I know I won't buy a new one if the old one gets ICS).
Not interested considering how locked down they made the nook tablet. Still very happy with my 16gb, thanks to the awesome devs here

That was my feeling. Sideloading? Probably not.
Unless of course you root the thing.
It would be nice for BN to make a tablet that's useful without rooting.
Love my Nook Simple touch for reading.
Well Let me tell you something based on this:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4413/...pecs-powervr-sgx544-18-ghz-dual-core-cortexa9
1.Two ARM Cortex A9 MPCores @ 1.8GHz per core Nice but they compare it 1GHZ not 1.2GHZ that we can have
2.Two ARM Cortex-M3 cores We have those also!
3.SGX544 GFX Core running at 384 MHz (If you Read: TI OMAP 4xxx SoC GPU Comparison it states PowerVR SGX540 also is capable to go to 384 MHz) I want to be clear SGX544 is a better GPU but 540 can play anything you throw at it currently speaking.
4.Hardware composition engine with dedicated 2D graphics core. We have those also!
5.Display subsystem. what to do it when you dont have hdmi out.
6.Dual-channel, 466 MHz LPDDR2 memory. We have Dual-channel, 400 MHz LPDDR2 memory and i bet if we give it some more volts we can reach those 66mhz or maybe 33mhz in worse case.
7.Complete pin-to-pin hardware and software compatibility. Anyone with a hot air station and a faulty NT HD?
http://www.techhive.com/article/2010597/barnes-and-noble-nook-hd-tablet-elevates-the-game.html
Will give you more info about the device. Such as
Barnes & Noble joins the high-definition tablet party and does so in style with the introduction of a pair of new tablets, the 7-inch Nook HD and the 9-inch Nook HD+. With an emphasis on display quality, usability, and lighter weight—at surprisingly competitive prices—Barnes & Noble's 2012 tablets help the company maintain, and expand on, its value tablet history. Both tablets are due out at the end of October, with prices starting at $199 for the 8GB Nook HD, and going to $269 for the Nook HD+.
I spent some quality time with both tablets, and came away with a first-hand perspective on how the two compare to one another and to their increasingly crowded competitive set. It's important to note up front that, like Amazon, Barnes & Noble uses a custom Android build. This means that you're locked into loading apps from the Barnes & Noble app store, rather than from Google Play. And it means that the tablet lacks both Google certification and the Google services that go along with certification (such as the Gmail app, Google Maps, and apps like YouTube, Google Books, or Google Video). Furthermore, Barnes & Noble chose to skip integrated GPS or cameras; Amazon, at least, offers a front-facing camera on the Kindle Fire HD (but not a rear camera).
None of that may matter in the end, if all you want to do is read, browse the Web, do e-mail, or watch videos. In fact, this is why Barnes & Noble made the choices it did as to what to include and what to exclude. An internal survey of tablet owners by Barnes & Noble showed that 75 percent used the tablet for reading, with the next most popular activities being Web browsing, social networking, email, and video, in that order.
The Nook HD—$199 with 8GB, $249 with 16GB—picks up on the foundation set by the current Nook Tablet, which will stay in the market at $179 for an 8GB model. Clearly, Nook HD targets Amazon's Kindle Fire HD and Google's Nexus 7 tablet, as well as any fabled and future Apple 7-inch class tablet to come. Meanwhile, the Nook HD+, with its larger display, aims at standard Android tablets, at Amazon's Kindle Fire HD 8.9, and at Apple's iPad. The HD+ is available in two versions: 16GB for $269, and 32GB for $349.
Massive resolution
The Nook HD has a stunning resolution for its size: 1440 by 900 pixels, which works out to 243 pixels per inch. If this sounds like an unusual resolution, that's because it is: Barnes & Noble went to display makers and dictated the spec it wanted, rather than simply accepting what was on offer.
The result of this innovation looks amazing: Text was smooth on books as well as the general navigation screens, and images looked terrific, with impressive color balance and detail.
As with its predecessor, contrast appeared strong, and glare was minimal since Barnes & Noble uses optical bonding on its displays, as it has since the introduction of the Nook Color nearly two years ago.
The Nook HD+ doesn't push the resolution bar in the same way, though. The 9-inch display carries a 1920-by-1280-pixel resolution, which works out to 256 ppi—practically the same as on the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD 8.9, and just shy of the Apple iPad's 264 ppi. Barnes & Noble says it chose the 9-inch display for its 3:2 aspect ratio, which the company describes as “perfect” for use with magazines and books.
Inside the tablets
Both tablets have Wi-Fi, and both add Bluetooth this time around, a notable omission from the original Nook Tablet. Both will also have an HDMI dongle available to connect to the tablet's new 30-pin dock connector; while I prefer integrated HDMI instead of an extra-cost dongle, at least the dongle has a full-size HDMI port, and not a Mini- or Micro-HDMI port that could require an extra cable.
Inside, the tablets each have Texas Instruments' dual-core OMAP 4470 processor. The Nook HD's processor runs at 1.3GHz; the CPU in the Nook HD+ runs at 1.5GHz.
The tablets have a microSD card slot that supports up to 64GB of storage; and unlike the previous model, all the space on the memory card can indeed be used to store your own content. Both tablets include the proprietary charger in the box. Additional chargers cost $20.
Where Nook HD fits
The new Nook HD and Nook HD+ are set to pose a challenge not only to their obvious Amazon Kindle Fire HD competition, but to all tablets. These well-designed models feature innovative design, and have some interesting interoperability plays through Barnes & Noble's new Video Store offering. Each of these tablets is backed by attractive pricing, a strong feature set, and a high-performance display. Traits that make them well-positioned to attract shoppers' attention this holiday season. The $269 Nook HD+ is the best value, and is a particularly intriguing proposition for consumers who are willing to stray from the Apple iPad juggernaut.

i might get the 16gig hd tablet.
IF they kept the same bootchain that the NT currently have, rooting should be a snap.

huh ? ? ?
In my humble opinion, ( what they did in the first NT ) a "locked and signed boot loader" is the MOST nastiest thing a company can do. . I believe it shows that they think that the dev community as the enemy. . So that makes mr. william lynch a first class ass in my book. . . So the one hundred ninety nine dollar question is, will the NT HD have the same nastiness ? ? ? . . My guess is yes... probably worse.
While I absolutely agree that locking the bootloader on the open platform is a nasty thing to do, especially when you didn't develop the platform yourself. From looking at the Nook UI, I think they at least spend a lot of time polish that. Maybe I wouldn't mind using it even if the BL is locked as long as gaining root and sideloading and install GAPPS can be done painlessly and assuming Nook will continue devloping it platform and roll out update in a timely manner.
Won't waste my time on another nook although glad they keeping micro sd slots
I got cm9 no issues, and hopefully we can cm10 soon also. Ilk stick witg my 16gb tablet. If I need a new one ill get a nexus (might do the same for phone this year) or a transformer. You can get a really good tablet around the same price these days.

You can get the older Tegra 2 powered ASUS Transformer TF101 for about $230-$250 the newer models all cost $400+ tho without the doc but factor in the dock at about $99 and the price goes up quite a bit out of the range of these things.
While the specs sound good but not sure it's worth it. I think the original NT 16g is just as good. I'm running CM10 with few SOD. Battery drain is still bad but I just plug it in at night.

Agreed. . If you upgrade, you go from a 'good' screen to a 'very good' screen and then you get bluetooth. . And then that's it ! ! !
.
I think they should have tossed in a front facing camera ( for skype ) and a functional ( real OTG stuff ) usb . . .
.
I cringe at what ( damn crap ) they're gonna put into the boot loader.
Yeah the new ones are running Ompa 4470s while the current crop run 4430s so not a large boost in cpu but they are adding a larger screen an OS upgrade and bluetooth for about the same price as the current nook tablets. So they are basically refreshes to the current hardware. I may pick up the kindle now that they have front facing cameras becuase that would be helpful to stay in touch with people. But at the moment I need a new PC ontop of which we will be moving in the next couple of months so money is tied up in that plus I may switch from boost mobile to T-Mobiles new unlimted 4g plan for $30. so that going to need a different phone then what I have so money is just really tight right now to upgrade the tablet. My current tablet works perfectly fine with me I just wish the screen was bigger at around 8.9 inches like the new Nook Tablets HD+ and Kindle Fire HD+s are.
4470 is way better than 4430. It has a way better GPU also. I think b&n choose wise on cpu`s this time. But it seems new crop comes with way more secure boot loaders.

Perhaps this all boils down to a generation barrier. I can't imagine why someone felt a lock bootloader was necessary to protect their advertising interest. Isn't it better to be the best and let the customer come flocking to your door?

Repost from B&N Community forum-
I own a Nook Table 16G and have gone through the agony of losing app sideloading when OS was upgraded over the air. I finally moved to CM7 SD version and started seeing the light. If not for CM7, I wouldn't have been able to download from Google Play many apps which are still not yet available in Nook Store after almost a year. I've never missed Nook OS and its built-in apps.
I will not invest another dime to B&N's device before I know for sure that: (1) I can root it and block update OTA completely, and/or (2) I can SD boot it into a full Android device.
By the way, I'm proud to say that throughout my 10-month ownership of Nook Tablet, I haven't spend my money buying any B&N product (books included) - as my boycott to B&N. Sorry, B&N!

OK. If this is true, I will be a little unhappy. Same price for fore cores. Hardware upgrade?
Any other news on this anyone?
OK just seen another thread with similar news. Apologies...
I had the 8GB Nexus 7 and it sucked seeing it get discontinued with the 16GB getting sold for the same price... I have a feeling this will be a similar situation (if it happens anyway).
They'll have to do some serious optimising before they can fit a quad core in that can operate on max frequencies for more than 30 seconds, considering the few minutes it takes for the dual to throttle.
If they launch it in June/July I wouldn't care but for the love of god don't do it so soon! I just got mine last week!

The N10 passed through the FCC in August and was released in November. That's three months. So if it takes three months to go from "rumor" to the FCC and then another three to get in to people's hands that's six months. The N10 will have been on the market for 9+ months and at that point a refresh could be in order. There's like three different threads on Exynos Octa, N10 Rev2 and now this one. If anything new is released it's a while away so you guys can relax for a bit. If you see a newer Google 10" tablet hit the FCC, pass through Bluetooth certification, or show up in benchmark testing you can panic. But the N10's equipped with state-of-the-art components and it's highly unlikely there are any plans to replace it until the money spent on R&D and specific components for it are recouped. And anecdotally, by the traffic in this forum, it doesn't seem to be jumping off the shelves so spending more to release another high-end 10" tablet doesn't make a lot of sense. If it's not selling it's certainly not for lack of features or solid price/performance.
If they produce a faster Nexus 10, I hope that the people who paid a premium for the 32 gb version can get a cash-back sort of deal like what happened when Google and Asus upgraded the storage capacity for the Nexus 7. I'm pretty happy with my Nexus, but I still don't like the idea of losing money for not waiting.
I am in need of a new tablet, as my current Asus TF201 battery is dying. I really (initially) wanted the Nexus 9. Now, I'm not so sure. The max of 32 gb is a concern, my TF201 has that and is full, I also have about 10 gb of music on a 64gb sd card, which I can't use in the Nexus 9. I pretty much use the tablet for media consumption. When I travel I take my tablet instead of my Ultrabook. I really would like a Android tablet as I am invested in the ecosystem.
I am also leery of the Nexus 9 build issues. A friend bought 2 (one for him, one for his wife) and went through 3 before he finally gave up and bought a Ipad Air 2 for him and a Fire HDX 8.9 for her. He said he's never been happier with his choice. Playing with the N9 at Best Buy makes me leery. The Fire HDX seems to have better build quality. But I've heard the later N9 has noticeable improvements in this area. If this is true, I might sway back to the Nexus.
I like the Samsung Tab s 8.4, gorgeous screen, but it seems laggy and not very smooth. Plus TouchWiz is more annoying on a tablet, and Samsung seems to drop support for tablets quickly.
I am intrigued by the Nokia N1, but I need a tablet sooner rather than later, who knows when Nokia is going to release it Stateside.
I keep looking at the Ipad Air 2. I really don't want to go back to the Apple ecosystem, but I could if I had to. 64gb of storage seems about perfect for my needs. All the reviews on this are stellar, everyone praises the smoothness and better dedicated tablet apps. The downside is I would have to purchase lots of movies and games again. I don't think my Google Play movies will transfer to IOs.
My Asus TF201 has everything I need in a tablet, expandable storage, 32gb internal standard and when it was new, good battery life. I would not replace it other than the battery only lasts about an hour from a full charge.
I know this is an Android site, so asking for unbiased opinions is futile, but what would you do? Is there a device I am missing that would fit my needs?
Thanks for the help!
I know it seems like many people have complained about their Nexus 9 but keep in mind that there are also many of us who have had absolutely no problems. But you generally will not hear from people like us because threads titled "Everything is A-OK" aren't as interesting and those of us who are happy will probably spend more time actually use our Nexus 9 than to post online about it. I bought my Nexus 9 a few days after it's released from Best Buy and I haven't had any issues.
With that said, I was initially concerned about the storage as well but as of today I have not used more than 10GB of space at any given time. But unlike you, I don't have tons of music as I mostly stream them, same with movies and other media. I occasionally store 2-3 movies on the Nexus 9 when I know I'm going somewhere without Internet connection and it still fits everything. So if you can't let go of any of your local media and they won't fit, then stop pondering and get something else.

The Nexus 9 is a great device. If the 32gb concerns you I would suggest the Shield Tablet. It is a great device that gets frequent updates and has a microsd slot.

I'm exactly under this same scenario with deciding between the iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9 but honestly speaking there are several solutions to the Storage problem:
1. Using Dual USB for having another 32-64 GB of storage. Sandisk has some very good options and they even fit in your keychain. Here's a link of it: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Android-Smartphone-Tablet-SDDD-064G-G46/dp/B00HR7J3CA
2. Using Google Drive. I know this sounds strange but sometimes having local storage through google drive actually works and is much more beneficial but it all depends on your use.
Other than that sometimes even having micro SD cards isn't helpful to the OS so I would really recommend option 1 instead of spending about an extra $100 on the iPad Air 2 in a constricted OS.
Looking forward to your opinion.

This was my solution. Micro USB adapters or dedicated drives, like the one above, are incredibly cheap and offer plenty of flexibility.
I bought a Sandisk 32GB Dual USB 3.0 for my wife's Nexus 9 but have had no success in getting the Nexus 9 to recognise it.
I have activated 'USB debugging' in the Developer options. I have activated the 'MTP' option in the USB connection settings. The Dual USB works fine on my Galaxy Note 4 and all our other devices.
Any ideas on what I am missing?

HEHEHEHE. I know Jide sells tablets too. So the question is why did they do this? Its almost asif back firing on their face again. Why would anyone want to purchase Jide products when they have a device better than it, their own pc's!!!???
Then again android x86 was a strong successful competitor and so Jide bought them out. so now theres no competition developments likely to go only one way and all according to Jide. is there a secret evil alterior motive for Jide doing all this? Or is it just part of a better nicer package?
Why is the Remix OS installer soo complicated and broken? Why is it that theres only intel cpu and gpu support and none other? why are features from older versions being removed in the new versions? why wont Jide support sim card function in Remix OS? Its only obvious if Jide wants to carry on selling its own products then they must give the pc public an inferior version or shall we call it one riddled and laced with problems or atleast an incomplete or feature disabled version? Is all this Jide marketting tactics? Yes, Remix OS is awesome and can be improved many ways to actually replace or compete with windows as a replacement PC, especially when it looks, feels and operates like windows. Why has Jide limited the internal storage space to 4GB only? Again is this basically the bit where
jide keep the pc version inferior while their own tablet version sells at different storage sizes e.g 16GB, 32GB, 64GB etc etc? LOL Im actually a little confused, baffled i must say.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 120,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE.
clearly the masses want such a great benefit as above, clearly i feel Remix OS was not supposed to be this successful on the PC unless offcourse Jide really does have a BIG HEART and its about bringing something good to the masses!
Clearly such a revolution will make £1000 's android only devices such as Pixel C and others like it almost useless and paper weight as the raw power of a cheap PC's components is far greater than its expensive new components of its android counterpart! cost wise its cheaper than its android counterpart too!
The question is will Jide continue to be generous to the people or will Jide bring in measurements to protect its investments? Hmmmmm..
And what about Google??? How will Google react to this and what will it do after, wether prevent or allow such revolution. Surely Googles taking the biggest hit here! lol
I can whole heartedly tell you this that if Jide Include sim card support in Remix OS then i will be more than willing to purchase it for a sensible price, its worth it. Also this is a piece of successful software which will have millions of audience worldwide so there will always be supporters for it. My two cents.
