It appears that Tigerdirect is now selling he GTablet. The specs indicate that it might be a different processor than the one that OfficeDepot sold me.
1 GHz Dual ARM Cortex-A9 processor is what the Tiger direct is posting which is different from Tegra 2
Same processor
That is the exact same processor! Read on a little further....
Additional Specifications:
Camera: 1.3-megapixel camera
Battery: 3650mAh Li-ion polymer battery
Operating Temperature: 32°F to 113°F
Storage Temperature: -4°F to 113°F
Dimensions (HxW): 6.8" x 10.5"
Weight (with battery): 1.55 lbs.
Memory: 16GB internal memory
Input/Output: USB 2.0 (Slave), Mini USB 2.0 (Host), 3.5mm stereo headphone, Micro SD, Dock for HDMI/Headphone/USB (optional), DC Input (Power)
Operating System: Google Android 2.2 (Froyo)
CPU: 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 - Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with 512MB DRR
Tegra 2 features Dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU
Based on NVidia's site it looks like the Tegra 2 and the 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 Processor advertised by TigerDirect are actually the same.
I cant post the link, but you get the idea
www dot nvidia dot com/object/tegra-2.html
That's it.
That's definitely it.
What would be the difference? And, when did you buy from OD? I got mine from them and it is the exact same specs.
Ummmm
It's exactly the same thing......
Bought mine from tigerdirect yesterday and should arrive by the 22nd.
Can't wait to play around with it. Have been reading the forums since to figure out the best way to get started when it arrives.
I bought mine first day or two of december, the tiger direct ad said single core and I remembered mine saying dual core, sorry to confuse the issue
For any other Canadians looking for a GTablet, here is the TigerDirect.ca link:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=7212231
At the time of this posting, prices was $399 Canadian.
It is definitely the Viewsonic GTablet - a friend bought one right after I sent him the link and he has it already!
Damn. With a good marketing strategy, the Gtablet would kick ass here in mexico. Many people cant afford ipad, even less xoom and the others.

The Viewsonic 10 inch "G-Tablet" discussed in the link below ($349 from Sears) has the Nividia dual core 1ghz Tegra 2 processor. It sounds like it has pretty decent hardware but lacking in software due to not being an official Google product and having a poor performing UI.
http://androidandme.com/2010/11/tabl...sears-for-379/
Viewsonic G-Tablet specs include:
NVIDIA Tegra 2 Dual ARM cortex (1Ghz)
Capacitive Multi-Touch/Multi Tasking panel
10.1” 1024 X 600 TFI LCD Screen
512 MB RAM, Mass Memory 16 GB
Mini USB x 1; Full size USB x 1
1.3MP Front –Facing Webcam
Earphone x 1
Micro SD card slot
2 x 1 W speaker
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n
G sensor/Light sensor
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
3500mAh/7.4V Li-polymer Battery Life 8-10 Hours
Slim design (267 x 173 x 14.3mm) Wt. 820 Grams
Buttons: Home/Back/Menu/Volume/Power
OS / Android 2.2
Headphone Jack
Built in Microphone
"Original information out of Viewsonic said this device would cost over $500, but Sears is selling a WiFi-only version that lacks the sim-card slot of the more expensive model. Some overseas models were also reported to include 1 GB of RAM, but the Sears unit is shipping with 512 MB RAM."
"The good news is that this tablet comes with Android 2.2, but that might be there the fun ends. This tablet was not certified by Google so it lacks all the Google Mobile Services including the official Android Market. Thankfully you can still sideload apps and alternative markets like SlideME."
You can buy the "G-tablet" here: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...1&blockType=G1 Use the zoom feature on the picture to get a really good close up of the device buttons and LEDs etc. I like the clean and simple look. Three buttons is nice too and the Wifi only will work perfectly with a tethering Nexus One. At $380 it is ~$120 cheaper than the equivalent iPad.
I think this would be a good candidate for dev support to take advantage of the hardware to root and optimize for 10" display. If developers are interested in rocking this device I am definitely picking one up.
Do you think developers would work with this device?
I wanted to get a discussion going about this line of 7" ICS tablets *coming soon* from Ainol. Ainol is a budget chinese brand, but has been establishing a name for itself after becoming the manufacturer of the first ICS tablet. I have played with an older Ainol model, the Paladin, which has a pretty nice build quality to it, but the crippling factor was that it used a MIPS processor that was incompatible with a number of popular apps. This line of tablets uses ARM processors, so there shouldn't be any app compatibility issues. Here are the tablets with a list of key features. I've listed in green what the upgrades are from the previous model.
Tornado $99
Screen: 800x480
CPU: 1ghz Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB or 16GB(+$20)
Camera: 0.3MP front
Micro SD slot
Mars $129
Screen: 1024x600
CPU: 1ghz Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB or 16GB(+$20)
Camera: 0.3MP front
Micro SD slot
ELF II $149
Screen: 1024x600
CPU: 1.5ghz Dual Core Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB
Camera: 2.0MP front
Micro SD slot
Mini HDMI
Aurora II $189
Screen: IPS 1024x600
CPU: 1.5ghz Dual Core Cortex A9
RAM 1GB
Memory: 8GB
Camera: 2.0MP front
Micro SD slot
Mini HDMI
It appears that they should be getting the Tornado and Mars tablets very soon, but the Elf II and Aurora II will not be available until May according to what I've read. Spemall appears to be a fairly reliable seller of android tablets. You can see them interacting with customers on their facebook page and twitter . They have posted pictures of the tablets and spec sheets on their facebook page as well. You may want to wait to order until they have given confirmation that they have stock on hand.
I like the look of these tablets. They have a nice clean modern look with a solid piece of glass covering the front. Most cheap chinese tablets are fairly ugly and have raised borders over the screen. I would find it hard to spend $189 on the Aurora II, especially since I'm expecting to see a Google/Asus tablet with the same specs coming in July for $200. However, the first three seem reasonably priced to me.
If you want to get a better idea of what these are like, check out this set of video reviews for the original Aurora. I believe they are using the same case/build style as the original Elf/Aurora on these new tablets. Really, the only difference between the original Elf/Aurora and the Elf II/Aurora II is the dual core processor. You can get the original Aurora for $169.

I've got an Elf (original model)
Its pretty nice, build quality is a bit...cheap, there's some creaks in where the bezel connect to the back plate, and this thing is unusable when its really hot.
But it does have a nice dev community and if you're not happy with that, just use some ROMs for the Aurora, they're pretty much the same, save for the IPS display on the Aurora.
But, thy buy a tablet like his nowadays, when the Nexus7 just managed to massively outclass these Chinese tablets

I just have ordered a Tablet PC, but not pay it yet. because it is 7 Inch Capacitive Screen Android 4.0 and only $79.5 , free shipping
I do not know whether it's worth!
looking forward more ideas!

Mali 400 is very good GPU in this GPU you can run most games!
And CPU A13 1GHz is too very good for this price! You can in this tablet watch fullHD movies and i think web browsing in for example Opera Mobile would be nice
I've got one of these similar devices. Trust me, they might sound good, but they fall apart if you plan to use it extensively. Mine randomly doesn't install apps for some reason, I have to install apps 3 - 5 times before they will install correctly. Pathetic.
The deal-breaker would be 512Mb RAM and 4GB Storage. If there's no expendable storage, you shouldn't buy.
by the way, check this one out

Hmmmmm..the other specs seems too good for the price..but..the resolution seems tooooo low for a tablet. 480x800 looks good on only smartphones. It will look ugly on a 7 inch tablet

Tablet would be a good for development to test your apps. Not sure about daily usage though, might be a little janky......
That tablet sucks.
Cheapest tablet for the money is the Ainol Aurora. Anything cheaper will disappoint.

thanks, everyone!
this is one of the many models of the Chinese market. a 2-fold lower price it's a gimmick. Look on the characteristics of the tablet is mnogo.protsessor A13 is the cheapest right now.
There are a bunch of different models of the ICOO D50.
You have to read the specifications very carefully.
The one with 1024 x 600, HDMI out and 8 GB doesn't look bad.

I can't post links yet
it depends on how you use it,don't expect it can work like ipad.
however the price is not good for this chinese tablet, maybe you can add a little to get a refurb. nook
good luck
here is a video of the tablet.... looks pretty good to me. main thing i worry about is the battery life.... 2600 ma.

Hello, my aunt showed us this mobile phone she got and basically it was supposed to be sent to us but I'm wondering if it's good for what it has and for what it is. I've never heard of this brand and it's pretty suspicious since it's very cheap for a MTK6589T CPU and a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU. It has a Quad Core, 1.2GHz, Cortex-A7 processor also.
Link here: http://www.yangbuy.com/team.php?id=5317
So, what do you think?
Thank you.
I just saw this phone at chinavasion today and yes from looking at the specs, this seems to be an excellent phone. The processor is not the latest and greatest anymore, yet it is Quad Core and the screen is quite big. It has the usual 1 GB RAM, what is important and 960x540 with 5.3 inch, that is also acceptable.
What is very excellent about the phone is it's price and it seems as the 2600 mAh battery in that phone would indeed be 2600 mAh because of the size (physical).
I would say for the money, it is a great phone .
Battery for c1 M.Ren
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement battery for this phone?
Hello all, I'm new to the forums. I've been a lurker for a little while. I had been looking for a android tablet for a couple of weeks, and stumbled upon some of the chinese tablets on Aliexpress. I don't want to link to it since its against the rules. I ordered it last week and will receieve it this week hopefully. I plan on posting some reviews on it, but the specs on the thing are pretty wild if it is indeed legit. And as far as I can tell if the benchmark numbers are correct the highest I've ever seen on a tablet.

I search on the forum and did not find anything referencing this tablet, it looks like it is a brand new one that got produced. According to the seller the benchmark on this tablet...
Edit, wont let me post a link, but it benchmarked at 126,000
I'm a little skeptical but I will report back once I receive it.:good:
So?
Ben-ray tablets still selling on aliexpress.
Please, share your expressions.
