Just went to sears.com and looked at the gtab and noticed the photo of the hardware has changed.
Is this g-tab v2?

Temporarily unavailable @ Sears?

Is it saying unavailable for anyone else? Anybody know the reasoning behind it? I was planning to pick one up in Las Vegas this weekend but it seems like the only place to get one now is Office Depot. I was hoping to have a few choices of places to pick one up.
Could be sold out.
I don't many of the stores are carrying much G-Tab inventory. So they may have to wait till the next shipment from China.
Interesting, there are plenty in my areas (NH, MA, VT). BTW, I just checked today, there are at least 6 -7 in the outlets..
It still says that it is temporarily unavailable. But checking the link for locally available stock shows plenty available in my area.
So, it's been pulled from the web site, but not the stores? What is up?
It looks as if it has also been removed from the Office Depot web site! When I search for tablets on their site, it comes up as a thumb link. But clicking on it results in an "Invalid SKU" error! It does say this under the thumb view:
Unavailable, please call
1-800-GO-DEPOT!
Hopefully, they are just being recalled to install the latest firmware. They are suppose to be coming out with a Flash update soon. Flash, along with the improvements since the initial release, really makes this an iPad killer!

It wasn't that way when I checked early this morning. I see it listed again too.
It is showing as available on Office Depot but it appears to gone from Sears.com all together.

Yes, you're right. I can't find it on sears.com either... My earlier post was for officedepot.com.

Don't jump to conclusions. It may be possible that Sears has abandoned the g-tablet, but there are other possible reasons for it's disappearance. Maybe they want to sell units that have the latest firmware, and Flash too. Remember, they promised a Flash update this month.

BTW, anyone notice the blue box under the item with "New Item!"?

Looks like a View pad 10.
It would be nice if the Viewsonic rep that has been on this site, would chime in?
I have been on the fence and almost convinced and went to the sears web site yesterday/today to see the same "unavail". I did see it avail at OD, and I went to VS site and weird stuff. When I selected "resellers" it temporarily popped up a list then they disappeared off the screen, and when i put in my zip (Houston area) it had no stores listed.
I'm back on the fence - but hopeful it is a good thing.

[Q] HBO GO

HBO GO is now live. Anyone with a Transformer tried it?
Doesn't show in the market on mine, but does on my Fascinate.
I don't see it in my market either
If you go to market.android.com you will see that it is not supported yet. However, if you find an apk somewhere and side load it, it may work just fine although I haven't tried it yet.

Doesnt work says device not supported.
on the market.android.com site I can't put it on any of my devices, they're all grayed out. Milestone, Atrix, Xoom or Transformer.. I don't know why it wont load onto my Atrix.. Is it because I'm in Canada?

Yup, I just saw this on Engadget:
"Update: Sorry Android users, but it looks like the only supported versions for the Android app are 2.1 - 2.3.3. However, we're getting reports that it does function in the browser -- so long as you've got Flash installed, of course. We're also told that the HBO Go site works just fine on the PlayBook as well."
If u click on the android police link it take u to the HBO go on market from your asus /Acer but when u click download it says your device not compatible...wtf? Lol
sent from my Acer iconia using TT
not working for me
So I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong, on my laptop it works fine but when I go to the website with my transformer it just gives me the screen showing the coming soon for ipone, android, etc screen, no option to login. I have flash loaded and it is working fine everywhere else. Am I doing something wrong?
Not in market yet, and I can't get the site to open either from my transformer.

Set your user agent to desktop and be sure to use the stock browser.
Edit: BTW Game of Thrones is amazing you should watch it if you haven't already.

I have been loving Game of Thrones. Can't wait for the end of the season to read the book. A buddy of mine told me about the series and then said they might be making a show (early 2010). I have waited patiently and am ready to start "A Song of Fire and Ice"

Words with Friends

Has anyone seen this video? My WWF does not look anything like this. It won't go into landscape mode and it looks all jacked up. Did this never get released to the public?

I feel your pain. Its very laggy and tiles are cropped. I actually can not reccomend a android tablet untill they have a honeycomb version of words with friends. Due to everyone I know being a wwf adict
The Android version is still half-baked. Sometimes games will disappear until I clear data and force quit, and I get phantom notifications all the time. It's not as bad as it was a month or so ago (except for the notifications, those always happen a few minutes after I make a move), but not up to par with the iPhone version.
Until it is, I only use it with my iPhone friends and use WordFeud with my Android friends.

Yea, I only play on my phone instead of my TF. I'm just wondering where the version of it is that is in this video. It is being played on an Android tablet and looks sweet.
Wordsmith works wonderfully on my Transformer, and it also has 4-player games. Fantastic alternative, it's the only scrabble game I play.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
The thing I hate about Wordsmith is that when you spell an invalid word, it returns all of your tiles back to the tray.
Words with Friends had an update, wouldn't let me install so I uninstalled it/reinstalled it and I see it's updated now for the tablet, the board all fits and not cut off at the bottom w00t! Just like the video in OP's post.
Nice..wish it wouldn't zoom in for each letter placed however. They should put that as an option. No need to zoom in on our 10" tablets.
Just installed the new version. It looks and works great so far.

Words With Friends has been pulled from the Market from the manufacturer last I heard. I play WordFeud and it plays perfectly (although it does lock you into portrait mode but that's not a dealbreaker at all for me).
He said he has the tablet version of the game. I know that the phone version has been pulled but he's saying they released a tablet version today and I see no evedence anywhere of it. What version number is the tablet app?

Forget it lol. Ok so they pulled the tablet version today? Is this why I'm having issues installing it?
they didn't pull it, I just installed it a bit ago, had to uninstall my old one as it wouldn't update, but once I uninstalled it and installed it again from the market it works great
Yeah I just saw on Android Police that they released a new Honeycomb compatible version of WWF just today so I was late on the news as well
I love the new layout, this is what a tablet-optimized game shoud look like, taking full advantage of the screen real estate.
C'mon WordFeud (I have Android friends who hate WwF), tablet your app up!
Edit: Still has the phantom notification bug (a notification appears soon after you take your turn, even though your opponent hasn't made a move). Surprised that hasn't been fixed, happens on my phone and TF.

Actually chess dot com is a live or turn based chess site that I use on the TF and it works just fine. The UI could be better for the tablet but it works.
I have it on my iPhone4 and the Droid version is lacking. There's no facebook connection option, which is what I log in with on my phone.. so I cant continue any games I have on my phone on my TF....

I've seen Android on one of those and it runs slower than snot. Seriously, forget about it. If you're seriously, seriously that bothered then just Google. There's youtube vids of it running Android 2.1 (I think - might be earlier).

Actually, from closer inspection you're right. You can even see one of the videos he clicks on "about theme" in a settings menu.
There's also some links that 1/2 the people say it works but it's slow, and 1/2 the people say it bricked their phone.
Why do you want Android on such an old device anyway? I know it's not helping you get what you've asked for but you should just consider an upgrade.

Nice choice my friend. I have a Galaxy S2 and it's a great phone. If I didn't have it I'd be going for a Note myself.

[Q] GPAD F35 advice

Hi There, I recently purchased a GPAD F35 from china. as I was looking around to back up all the current data I noticed It has NANDFLASH already on it ! Does that allow me to take it back to factory settings if it starts running slow etc? Ans if so what buttons would I press to get into that section? I was going to root it first then take it from there but I was told I would not need to if NANDFLASH was installed. I also want to run a virus check on there too before I put my details in to ensure no spyware was preinstalled.
Specs:
GPAD F35
OS: Google Android 4.0.4 (ICS)
CPU Rockchip RK2906 Cortex A8 1.0GHz
GPU Mali 400
Ram 512MB DDR3
If you could help me with the basics of what I should be doing before I set up my GMail account info etc and then give it to my 3 year old for christmas I would be very greatfull.
Kind Regards
I have now run a virus check which was fine x I now just need to know how to access the superuser and system restore section x x please help people

Hi There, for the money I think it is great! The GUI seems a little shody but you tube etc is spot on and HD. It is slightly laggy compared to the IPAD but as I say soo impressed for £67 you cant go wrong.

Yup I got it mainly because of the price tag also $ 90 CAN I found that the Gui screen looks much worst comparing to when the tablet was in game mode or watching HD movies. Do you have problem with the time, mine can't keep the time correctly sometimes ?

I havent noticed the time being wrong! Its a christmas present for my son so I have only had a little play. I am still interested to find out how to boot it in power user so I can plan for the worst case senario.
the tablet is not rooted so I'm afraid SuperUser can not operate properly, I try the free superuser app but it seems conflicting with Google Play so I get rid of it. BTW does yours has HDMI slot? beside the micro USB slot, mine doesn't have it so I think the buyer sent a wrong one or missing/wrong description but no biggy , so far I'm still impressed with the tablet, I did reset and run the test patch (all passed) and the gui looks neater now. I found out the the clock stop ticking if in sleep mode, still try to figure out why, oh well.
