For those looking to buy a gtab, buy.com has them for $382 with free shipping. Not a bad deal.
I have one for sale. $335 I'll handle shipping. it's still in perfect condition Ships w/ everything, running TNT-Lite.
EDIT: SOLD, Thanks richmcgillicuddy!
PM me.
just got one
I bought my gtab at office depot Sunday. I had a $100 reward card from them, so I only paid $311.34 total cost. should be here on Thursday. I'm pretty excited.Still deciding which is the best rom for me.
Also available at tigerdirect.com ($399) [in stock at this time].
Amazon, too
Amazon's got them listed as low as $369 with $7 shipping....but not sure about the person's rating. However, Amazon's also listing them new for $380.
Gtab for sale
Please see post #5. Today only woot.com is selling them for 279.99 +5 for shipping. Was selling mine, but I won't compete with that price.
A couple of things...
No pictures is not good. I refuse to buy something I can't see.
I just ordered a brand new one for $350. Without seeing or knowing the condition of yours it would be hard for me to pull the trigger and choose yours over a new one where at least I understand where to return if needed.
thanks for the info, I'll post pics tomorrow. Where did you get your gtab for $350?
go ebay for auction there is only 320-340 for one. Also u can buy the G tablet from China manufature just 300 usd for each including shipping, but they only accept a VIP group purchase something like 100 people a group, then they will give you a disscount.
one day only sale. no tax unless you're in texas
Woot has them today for $279, and I have heard for awhile Sears Outlet has them for $279 as well. I have heard lots of bad things bout the G Tab so came here to research if I should pick one up to play with heh.
Awesome, I am in Texas and get hit with the tax, but still that is cheaper than the one I ordered. Just cancelled my other order.
Was just coming here to post this too. I'm in for one. I've been watching the development for the Gtab since the beginning, so happy I finally found one at a great price at the same time that I had the funds to get it.
Damn. I ordered from jr.com for $350 free shipping. They just shipped it out today.
Anyway, I went ahead and ordered from woot anyway. I guess I'll try to either return the jr one or sell it.
Wow...a few bucks more than a Nook Color. My wife and I already have those...But I couldnt' resist for this price. This thing sounds awesome.
Actually it's $279.99 + $5 shipping, makes a difference because I ordered 2 and they only charged the $5 once. (Perfect timing, my girlfriend just decided this was the tablet she wanted, and at that price I wanted one too.)
This is crazy, I just bought one of these on Amazon today for $100 more. Looks like I'll be sending that one back. This just saved me a $100, this is wonderful! Never heard of woot before now either, oddly enough seems they're owned by Amazon too.

They shouldn't be able to charge you for return shipping if you refuse delivery. If it's already arrived and you signed for/opened it you're probably too late though.
Just bought one. This will be my 2nd Gtablet which I'll use to flash ROMs. Better than SEARS outlet.
So do I buy one of these? I was holding out for an Android tablet that would run honeycomb and didn't come with a carrier contract.
The price seems so tempting.
Edit: Too late put the order in couldn't resist. $320 less than what a 32gb wifi xoom will be or $220 less than a 16gb galaxy tab.
G-Tablet for $280 new...
Woot is having a deal for a new G-Tablet for $280.
Valid for 24 hrs.
I can't post links so you will have to do some work...
www[dot]woot[dot]com/Blog/ViewEntry[dot]aspx?Id=16878
woot there it is... Woot..
Great price for NEW....
Just ordered one myself, great deal!
Someone posted that over 10,000 were sold yesterday. I always wondered about that site and how they could make any money, but figure this, if they made $10 a piece on each that is one incredible day for even many of the larger retailers.
I thought this was going to be great for the G tablet community with which it would make Viewsonic take notice and develop more for this product.
But what if many who bought were resellers jumping on a bargain (my bet). Still eventually if they sold it would still be good.
I always thought the Apple fanatics were really out there standing in lines to buy the latest until it was explained that many were buying to resell and sell higher than retail. Still dopes to pay but does explain more.
The thing is there's little to be made for any who plan to resell. These retail for $350 to $370 and after ebay, paypal, and shipping fees we're only looking at maybe a $20 to $30 profit. Plus with woot limiting the amount you can buy I really think most of the G-Tablets sold yesterday were to people genuinely interested in the product. Well, at least I was one.

I know that our customer support group purchased quite a few of these yesterday .
I had been prodding them toward getting these as our mobile platform for a while, was super happy they came up on woot
I agree that most who got woot deals yesterday were buying for home use and not re-sell. People have been seeing the Gtab, and even through all the exxcitment of the xoom, interest in it was picking up. This just goes to show people are smarter with their money than given credit for and it gives a clear message that we are not willing to pay 6 to 8 hundred dollars for hype and a carrier contract.
I bought mine for personal use. I've been on the fence and could not pass up this deal.
I honestly had my heart set on the iPad 2 pre release, but then once I saw it didn't have retina and the price was still relatively expensive (for a 32gb 3G), I figured I might as well save my money. Once the woot deal came on, I did some research and stumbled across this community, and how couldn't I buy the product for just $280? I just signed up to this forum this week and I'm already addicted reading up on how everyone is modding their gTab. Thanks in advance to all the mods who will make my experience a pleasant one..
Bought mine for personal use as well. Been on the fence for a while over a tablet saw the woot, liked the price and after some research here and elsewhere decided with some fairly simple tweaks this would fit all my needs in a tablet.
Bought mine for personal use and work. Part of my job is providing support for my company's mobile apps, and it is much more convenient to have my own than dig up where the company hardware is hiding. I also have a toddler and we are going on a 4 hr plane trip next month, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity for an electronic babysitter for the trip at this price. (There may be toddler/mom deathmatches over who gets to use it as both of us are geeks)
Bought mine for personal use yesterday too.
I can't wait
Hi purchased the nook color when it was 200 bucks for ebay. and i love it.
It is used at my restaurant as digital photo album / menu
the face that you can grab it with one hand and do demonstrations with it is awesome.
But it is lacking in some ways.
Purchased the gtab for personal use, front facing camera etc. I dont know how usable it will be, but I am hoping the dual core processor helps things out more.
honestly loading webpages on the NC with dolphin or skyfire was ok. but not great, and it definitely could not unseat my netbook that i also carry around with me wherever i go.
I think 285 bucks delivered for a dual core tablet with these specs and the best user group community on the planet (XDA) which has always helped me with my droid1, fascinate (for a friend) nook color, and now gtab... is a super steal. to borrow the words of another forum post: Lucky mofos.

So was I! This is going to be my first foray into tablet computing. At such a low price with real hardware, this going to let me get my feet wet, and if I hate it, i'm sure i can sell it at just a slight loss. Hoping I love it though!
Was in for one as well, though I'd just grabbed a Nook Color (just before that eBay deal); was impressed with how much more usable the larger screen was, and how much it felt like I was trying to work with a postage stamp when I swapped back to my G2.
Then this came up, and couldn't resist long enough for them to sell out.
Actually ended up sucking a few friends in as well..
I had no idea the makers of my TV made a tablet. I jumped on this when I read the specs. Hopefully Woot doesn't take more than a month for this thing to ship out.
to good a deal to pass up....needed a new toy to play with
I just picked up the NC a few days ago. I never even heard of the gtab until it popped up on woot. I've returned my NC.. the hardware on the gtab for the price can't be beat.
Just watch ebay. Yesterday there was one gTab listed with 7 days left current price of like $180. I think there will be lost on there and the price will end up falling on ebay and people wont be able to sell them for much (if any) more then they bought them for.
I plan on keeping mine. Bought it for personal use. Wanted a galaxy tab, but didn't want a contract or to spend 400-500.
I can survive a $280 fight with my wife, not a $500 one.
Good deal, bought for personal use also.

One closed yesterday around $315 after paypal and ebay fees you'd lose a bit of money on the deal. Personally I bought one for me, just wnated to see ebay pricing in case I didn't like it.
Given that only about 3% of purchasers purchased 3 at once I doubt that very many were purchased for resale.
same with me, you took the words right out of my mouth
Looks like shop blackberry .com are selling all the playbooks for $299. Could be the best digital picture frame ever built
Not worth the money. Maybe $99...for the 32GB
Umm I can walk into my local best buy and walk out with one for $199...
they don't even know how to discount them. How do you sell all three at the same price.
At $99 I'd bite just out of curiosity. At $299, no way in hell.
Hey All,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success getting a price match from other retailers (ATT, Best Buy etc) on the $49.99 price advertised last week through Amazon and Radioshack. I ask because I tried today with Best Buy after a user posted a receipt image indicating that he was able to get a Best Buy in FLA to sell it for 49.99. I really want this phone and the cheaper the better. Thoughts?
Dude read the thread three threads down.....
killing is my business, And business is good.
I went to two Best Buy's with a copy of that receipt and they both said that the employee who did the price match was making an error. They only match advertised price. Radio shack never advertised $50, it was a pricing error. Plus even if they did have a special pre-order price, that advertising ended when the device released on the 6th, and now all places are advertising $200.
The guy in florida got lucky with a dumb bestbuy employee (who will probably get in a lot of trouble)
I missed the Amazon sale, but Amazon matched the RadioShack price. $50 shipped w/ no tax. WINNING!
Billy
That was my receipt
So much win
I got AT&T to match Radioshack's $149.99 deal.
The best I managed was my local Best Buy matching Amazon.
I got the original Amazon deal when they matched RS's $50. I wish I bought two then =*(

actually that thread is about people who got a $50 HOX from radioshack. This thread is about people who had success in getting that price honored at other places. Next time try and read both threads. would help you not look so rude/ like a jerk.
ATT matched my price, I called support and mentioned I was worried about loosing my unlimited data and the rep said he could match.
My exact sentiments. I'm going to keep trying to get it for less even though it is probably futile.
