Hi, I'm considering a Xoom for my 10 y/o daughter as a christmas present, but I have a couple of questions.
The useage would be movies (from SD), music, and general surfing and android games (angy bird etc). What may be a deal breaker is the ability to use flash intensive web sites.
Currently she has a mac G5 1.6Ghz PowerPC that doesn't play at all nicely with flash intensive web sites, namely Moshimonsters.com and educationcity.com.
Although I'm new to Android, I'm not scared to root and try different roms if required (I've 'hackintoshed' my netbook so am familiar with the sweaty palms while waiting for the final reboot!).
This isn't a replacement for a desktop as the old G5 does just about everything she needs apart from the poor flash playback so if the Xoom would be capable of that it would be a win/win! I'm thinking that a Xoom is cheaper than a new desktop and seems like a great piece of equipment in it's own right for travel/sofa surfing.
So the question is do any of you have youngsters in the family that use the Xoom for moshimonsters.com and don't complain about it being laggy/slow?
Thanks in advance and sorry that the first post is a Q, but I have to start somewhere on my journey into the depths of Android and I have spent sveral days googling but finding no definitive answer!
All the best,
Ian
I tried both websites for you and they worked fine. Educationcity.com was snappier than the moshimonsters.com, but they both loaded fine and flash video downloaded and played fine.
I think she'll enjoy it.
Is there no escaping these bloody things, my 9 y/o and 3 y/o fight over them all the bloody time.... lol

MM has over 50 million users now so no, there's no escape!
Just got to decide how long I wait now to see if prices drop even more before Christmas. Amazon now at £321 delivered for the UK wifi version.
Thanks both,

Have you looked at other devices or are you set on a Xoom?
Quick poke on google gives a few places under £300..

I'm not 100% set on the Xoom but I went to PC World and had a play with a few tablets and the solid feel of the Xoom along with the connectivity options and battery life make it my favourite so far.
The promise of ICS in the future is also appealing.
I'm very willing to hear suggestions for alternatives (in the UK), and my target price is around the £300 mark.

I'll check out the pricing again but I'm a bit cautious when it comes to sellers that I'm not familiar with (stock is in China and it's not a UK model etc), thanks for taking the time to check and reply
I looked at the 7" A100, its a cut down version of the A500 but with the smaller screen and less storage, however still has the mSD slot so onboard space not so much of an issue. Ended up ordering the A500 instead mainly down to the screen size.
If you want ICS then you might want to have a look at a few other "Android Dev" forums on here, you can see what the popular devices are and that might influence your choices.
Yeah I'd rather get it from a known source but there seems to be some places selling for around the £270 mark, order it on a credit card or whatever card you have thats got some sort of protection on it, just incase, if all comes good then your saving yourself at least £50 which can be spent on screen protectors, sleeves, cases etc

I tried to get a feel for the A500 at PC World but the one in my local store wouldn't power up. I seem to be able to find the Xoom cheaper than the A500 right now?

I thought (although I may be completely wrong!), that there would be an official OTA release of ICS for Xoom? This may save me the headache of root, roms & kernels!
Thanks for all the input.

There will be an official ICS release for the Xoom. IMHO, it is the best Android tab currently available, all things considered. Also, I have a Tegra2 7" tab and it's sweet and pretty snappy but it's just too small to be really useful. A 10" screen is much better. Put a nice comfortable and protective case on it that can also double as a stand, get one of the charging docks, and your kids are good to go.
for this planned use you may find a cheaper alternative to Xoom... How knows?
Best!

I heard today for the first time that the nook Color was able to be rooted and was super happy since I could run Kindle on it.
Then I found xda and read about the G Tablet. At this price point for the hardware involved, I will be stopping after work tomorrow to grab one then head back here for some custom ROM action.
Super excited to see a solid form factor in an Android Tablet. When I first saw the G Tablet in the Sunday paper, I initially shrugged it off as another "not ready for prime time" tablet. While I guess it technically is, this community has taken it places!
Welcome to the forum. There is a wealth of information here and some of the most helpful people I know of.
Yes, that's exactly how I felt. I haven't gotten mine yet, and I'm still undecided whether or not I should pull the gun or continue to wait for the Notion Ink... but I've been visiting the section almost daily for news and updates.
After having the archos 101 for awhile i thought it was best I keep it and when I saw the gtablet and horrible reviews I decided to keep it but after reading the forums here I sold my archos 101 and never looked back its so much better and don't really miss the media playback aspect of it as Rockplayer has played everything I have thrown at it still gets good battery life. Now my girlfriend kinda regrets spending so much money on her macbook air and was thinking she should of gotten one as well. ^^

Get ready for a long wait, if you didn't preorder the NI yet. Their initial "stock" is sold out so who knows when their second batch will be available. If u can get this tab for 380 or below, preferable low 300s (which is possible if ur lucky) pull that trigger.
There's a lot of helpful gtab folks here so you know there's support and with VS cooperating that even adds more value to this tablet.
Picked up the tab on my way home this evening.
Man I hate waiting for batteries to charge!

+1, without all of the great work here, and VS support, no way would I have ever considered these, now I have 2.....
A coworker ordered his and received it yesterday. Im waiting for mine from woot.
He put tnt on it and we are both not impressed. We scanned through all the youtube vids and forums researching this tablet peior. He went with tnt 4.3.2. Hes sending it back and will just wait for an ipad 2 for more money. He was definitely not happy.
Now I'm a little skeptical about it but plan on putting Vegan on mine.
The screen in landscape was bearable but portrait just sucked.
Maybe he did something wrong but it just didn't feel as responsive as an ipad 1 or even the Xoom I messed at BB.
Any tips for when I get might mine tomorrow?

I would recommend trying several modded ROMs here - they all have their pros and cons. VEGAn is a big favorite, for example.
The screen in portrait is a problem, I agree. The screen angles are bad and in portrait the slightest tilt is a major difference - a modded ROM really can't fix that.
not sure of your expectations! !

If you researched this tablet and these forums you would know that the screen is not a "great" screen that fact has been well documented and any Rom you flash is not 100% perfect as they are a constant work in progress. Fact is the roms are lightyears ahead of the stock and are getting better all the time!! If you want the ability to explore and expand??? enjoy!!!! if you want a good performing closed end experience then head on over to Fruit of the loom! !!!
+1 for VEGAn. been using their latest with quite a few widgets on the main screen. snappy response, no noticeable lag. i should point out that i only use the main home screen in landscape mode. in fact, i rarely ever use the tablet in portrait.
Vegan is good but if you want an ipad buy an ipad. If you want a xoom buy a xoom. If you want a very versitile and cheep tablet with top of the line technology running the android platform then the gtablet is perfect. Do us a favor though, when you decide you don't want it sell it here. Many of us would jump at the chance to pick up a second Gtab for what you paid for it.

Yeah... I have a tip, keep an open mind. I myself like tnt lite, actually running 5.0(without problems thx roe!!!!!). Love the speed and the ability and freedom this tab has. Is it perfect? No, has it replaced my laptop for everything, no, but 90% of my casual usage is on my gtab, actually typing this on it right now. The usb host and expandability with an sdm are a big deal to me and no itunes....
Yep, if you don't want to tinker and just want something that "works" out of the box then iPad is a great choice.
A lot of people wanted a tablet for an inexpensive price and something to mess around with an learn from which the gTab excels at.
Hopefully you'll be able to return/resell the unit and find something a little more appropriate for what you expected to buy for $285.
If you want the best then don't pay $300 on WOOT. They don't put products on there because they are top of the line and the best.
You are all right and I agree.
I was looking for something inexpensive but with good hardware. I will keep an open mind about it.
I do favor. Portrait mode because I can type alot faster with the 2 thumbs than with a few fingers in landscape. Galaxy tab was perfect width for in portrait.
I mostly surf web, pay bills online. But was thinking of using that office suite from the gadam.
And if did decide to sell, I'd put it up here for what I paid. Everyone knows what the woot deal was.
It looks like launcher pro is the go to home screen. Any opinions on Go Lauancher as this is what I like on my Evo. Or that new Spb shell.
Thanks all, I will follow the guides here.

Let me clarify one thing. I think you made a good purchase. The Gtab is an exciting little dev device. Lots of flexibility to make user defined changes.

For the screen noting, but you could use it to knock-out an apple fanboy and steal his ipad... but beware, the ipad are tough too...
For keyboard is an using SwiftKey beta for tablets with the split setting for keyboard so you can use your thumbs in landscape

I just received a couple yesterday afternoon. Even with the bad viewing angles and alpha stock OS, I would buy a third.
I can only imagine (hopefully when, not if) an update is applied.
Congratulations viewsonic, my deepest appreciation xda dev/folks and thanks to woot.
I also wanted to return my G tablet ... I really didnt install anything though , I then said what the hell I like the customization of a G tab worst case scenario I can return it and buy a iPad2 ( I bought the G tab at tigerdirect store locally). I installed Vegan 5.1 / clockwork Mod and was sorta not impressed still . Not till I went to MetroPCS to pay my phone bill did I fall in love with the tablet the MetroPCS employee saw it and new abit more than I did he uploaded a few videos for me , showed me a few cool things it does also let me tagg on to the MetroPCS wifi and DL apps he registered my tab into the android market. I would say get someone abit more familiar with a tablet than a noobie ....
Current running
Clockwork Mod
Vegan 5.1.1
Launcher Pro
Vegan tron Theme ( super geeky )

My g tab looks pretty alright to me (screen issues wise). I did put a matte protector on it though.
I'm having problems adjusting to the screen too but I've only had mine for a few days. The rom that comes stock is complete trash though. I'm not sure why veteran owners are recommending keep it stock because that would totally deteriorate anyone's ability to be happy with this device. After installing vegan it's really a night and day difference and very functional device.
I only wish the screen wasn't so bad. It's especially difficult looking at the beautiful screen on my phone then struggling once I pick this thing up.
I was going to use it to read comics and books but trying out portrait mode, it's a no go. I might end up selling it here as well but I'll play with it for a week or so before deciding. I've tried Vegan, CM7 RC3, and the gAdam roms. They are definitely much better than stock but the screen is a real killer. Though I'll be honest, I did not buy it with high hopes anyway so all the cons weren't at all a surprise to me.
I want to give my iPad to my wife, and get a tablet that I can reflash ROMs to, and ultimately has flash compatibility. I found one on eBay, totally stock, for $250. Is it worth the money?
1. How does the screen compare to an iPad, Xoom, etc?
2. How does the speed and functionality compare to the iPad, Xoom, etc?
Other thoughts?

1. screen is not nearly as good....let's face it, but certainly good enough. Viewing angles suck, but hell its a tablet, you look at it dead on 99% of the time right? not as fast as ipad but the functionality is much better....tons of options as far as roms to flash, completely customizable, 1.1 or 1.2 bootloader options. A WEALTH of knowledge here for you and a wealth of dev support which has really made this tablet because stock, it's horrible.
This has been my baby since it came out but I am giving mine up, I need some cash flow....I'll sell you mine rooted running cm7 for 225. pm if interested im in the process of putting up a listing

No, do not buy one. Viewsonic has stopped supporting it. It's pissed most os us off, to the point that we've decided to not buy anything made by Viewsonic ever again. Additionally, I can't logically recommend any of their products to anyone either.
The only thing that makes this tablet usable are the 3rd party developers on this and other sites. Without them, this thing wouldn't have sold nearly as well.
So, DO NOT BUY ANYTHING MADE BY VIEWSONIC!!

Good luck, and congrtulations. If it's not too much trouble, can you post on their facebook page letting them know why you decided to go with a competitor? I know it won't help you much, but it would be good for them to know that we have a voice that's being heard.

Hey guys, i was wondering what you guess as a group think of this tablet, is it bad? would you change to something else? What are the current issues? Are they fixable? The normal questions.
i have absolutely no problems with mine and am loving it. the development community is great and they are putting in allot of hard work to get really great features. ASUS sends out firmware updates often and keeps them opensource which is really nice. If you do go to get one try to get a model that says B60 it seems to have the least problems. If you get a B70 there is about a 50/50 chance you wont be able to root because of some changes asus made. Most if not all of the issues people reported in the early shipments have been fixed. you may have some lightbleed but that is pretty much standard on all tablets.

may i ask how to and where to look for the B60/70 number at?
should say it on the box near the serial/model number
i'm also quite happy with the tablet, the dock makes it a very viable netbook replacement for me, the (so far) consistent updates from asus are a welcome change from samsung's poor support. the only small gripes i have with it are more related to honeycomb's unfinished/rushed/beta state, but i'm hoping those issues will be rectified in ICS.
I love it but frankly if you won't use the keyboard dock extensively, I recommend the tab 10.1

On the Box. it will be the beginning characters of the serial number.
I do think the best feature of this tablet is that it has a dock.. makes it a good netbook replacement (or so I'd think, only had a laptop before this!).
In terms of computing ability, it's probably at, or slightly better than my laptop, since my laptop is pretty damn old in technological terms (3 or 4 years old, so like 10 technological generations ago!).
I do miss some things on the TF. Netflix (which I'm going to root and use, once I feel ready to void my warranty), the ability to play one stupidly addicting game, and programming environments. Actually, it'd be awesome if there was an app for G-code/Labview/MatLab, but I guess I could always root and get ubuntu for those.
thanks guys! im still looking into tablets. My spending limit is 400 so this one looks to be the best out there right now.

thanks! i am getting this one tommorrow as far as i know, and i know to look for B60 as will in the serial on the box. If it is B70 ill still get it if thats the last one they have. As far as storage goes i think the 16 gig will be PLENTLY for me, if not i have a 8 gig SD card.
Hi guys.
I am hopefully getting a Xoom within the next couple of weeks. From reading and watching the reviews of this device, I can't really find anything wrong with it, ok maybe a little weighty, but I haven't handled one yet, but cant see that being an issue. What are your views of the tablet, after all you guys already own one (or maybe more than one).
I am hoping to swap with someone that is on a well know auction site here in the U.K for my Galaxy S2. (well if everything goes ok that is) Will I be dissapointed? Who do you think is getting the better deal?
I play a couple of Tegra 2 games on my SGS2, and they look fantastic, how are they on the Xoom?
Any info, tip & tricks or just general what to look out for would be massively appreciated.
Thanks
Seg

I think you'll enjoy it. There have been a number of threads recently on just the same subject. For instance, this one.

Just remember that due to the size of the screen, some of your games will seem faster on your phone.
True, it does weigh more than the iPad2, but I hardly ever use it without some sort of support. I got it at a much lower price than I would have paid for the iPad2 or Samsung Tabs and it was easy to root and flash a custom rom.
Thanks for the replies guys. To be honest the weight I dont see as being an issue, so I can live with that. I do like the idea of doing everything on the big screen. I do love my sgs2 but at this moment in time I am only using it for internet email and games. Cant take up the verizon offer as we dont have verizon here in UK, but thanks for the heads up.
Any plans for ICS coming to the Xoom.
Thanks again guys

If you know anyone who's flying from Dublin to the UK they can pick one up for you at Dixon's in Dublin airport for €289 (WiFi model).
ICS will be out for Xoom.
Just need to off load my sgs2 first, proving a bit tricky at the mo. I think the cheapest I saw over here is £329 new (wifi) doing around £250 - 270 on ebay used. Getting quite desperate now. I really must stop watching videos of them on youtube, just making myself sick now.
