Could we get some love for the Viewsonic Viewbook vb730 on XDA? I know that it's not that popular of a tablet but it would be cool to have a place for questions.
Agree... Should any big head of Xda help me on this? New firmware? Best software for this?

Do you have the vb730? I'd like your thoughts on this device. How much drive space is set aside for apps. This looks like the tablet for me. I just think the reviews do not give it justice.

Yes I do. I am using a Vb730. I do think it is a combination product of tablet and E-reader.
The Internal Memory is 8GB and the space for data application is about 5 GB/8GB. But you can expand the capacity by Micro SD... I am using 16 GB Micro SD card (around 30$ I think)
For an e-reader, it use LCD screen so could be not very good for your eyes.
For a tablet, it is not multiple touch screen so you can not use two of your finger the same time.
Most of the Android software can be installed by using Explorer software of this. It is quite simple. However, you could not install Android Market Software... But you can use Amazon Application...
I do think it is quite good with the price you have to pay...
Thanks. Now just waiting for Christmas to get this or the Galaxy Tab 7. I really think the vb would suit me fine.

Well, My first advice to you would be to never purchase from one of the Chinese tablet makers. They are cheaply made and are never what is advertised. But if you really need help, I would need to know what version of android you are running and the name of the device. Please reply to this post as fast as you can for the quickest help I can give you.
Lol, I am never going to order from anyone like that again!! I bought the 'pocket rock' running ICS 4.0.4
Thanks SO much!

May I ask how much you paid for it? And do you know how to root the tablet? Or do I need to teach you how to do that? Because I found a link to a flashable .zip of the google playstore for ICS. just tell me what you need.
I've never rooted anything before, but I am prettu good with computers. I thus, will need help to root it. I paid $62 !! Thats why I bought it, seemed like an amazing deal! And it is a 'good' tablet, nothing better than that.

Hmm, if I were you, I would have just went with the new Nexus 7. It's only $200 and is an amazing tablet. But let me see, I'm not finding much of anything on your tablet :/ could you link me to the original page where you bought the item? Thanks.
Ok, xda will not let me post a lke, so I will post half a lik, and probly get this post deleted like last time chinavasion.com/t4s0/ I was thinking about it, but I have a 10.1" tablet and I wanted one more like a phone so I don't have to carry this monster around with me. The Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 was my first pick, but its $200 as well... so I thought I'd take a chance on it. And with your help, it just might work out half as good as I hoped so, Thank you very much again!! (The bad part is I talked my brother into buying onr with me and his is the same way so, thats much worse than mine not working!!) /\ thank you SOOOO SO SO MUCH!!!

I had to make the same decision. The prime was my first choice, but imho the note 10.1 is better for school, especially since all our books are in PDF format and needed good annotation features.
Samsung I think is more stable and has better quality control.
Nothing does, but if you already read the threads, and you had the effort to post your stupid pointless comment, dont you think your comment should atleast be helpful

Let me explain to you how xda works. There is a "read first, then ask" policy. If you want to be endlessly flamed here, keep asking questions that have already been answered 100 times.
If you REALLY want to be flamed, then insinuate that your time is more valuable than ours and that we should invest in answering your question while you obviously have not.
Read first then ask.

Since you are trying to find a tablet to use at school I'd recommend to buy note 10.1. I'm also a student and I have the same motive than you. I don't own note yet since my operator here in finland doesn't have notes for sale yet. I've been reading these kind threads as mitchellvii told you to do as well. Yet I understand that not everyone has time to read forums expecially if one wants information fast buy note because of its multitasking advantages and the s-pen. Splitscreen is in my opinion the most useful thing to have in a tablet used for studying. There is a lot bigger resolutions on other tablets screens but 1280x800 is enough and even it isn't I'd still buy note because of it's ability to multitask hope this helps!

I would recommend the Galaxy Note 10.1. It IMO is really the most productively designed tablet around due to the multiscreen and the popup windows allowing you to do more things at one time.
As to those that feel they don't have time or that their time is so important that they can't offer a helpful reply, I ask you to please do not waste your time posting a responce to my questions, if you don't desire or have timetime to be helpful. I mean no one is forcing anyone to post answers to any questions.

Sorry but we feel that if a question has already been asked and answered 1000 times a new member should respect the Forum and do some research before asking the same question again. The experienced members who help a lot of people find this very annoying. It is clear from the OP's arrogant response that he made no attempt whatsoever to research prior to asking his question. Why should he do any work when we can do it for him? It's just basic forum etiquette.
Like I said, clueless is cool, lazy is not.
I used my Prime+keyboard dock to take notes all last year for my classes, but it wasn't the most reliable thing ever. I had quite a few random reboots in the middle of class and lost a good deal of notes many times.
The Infinity, as far as I know, has more or less the same issues.

Be nice. We've all made forums blunders at one time or another. He asked the same question on the TF700 forum and they were helpful (albeit one-sided). You're making us look bitter.
OP here's the link to a v-e-r-y long thread comparing the two devices. Shorthand: to get a HDMI-out port, FHD display, and an optional keyboard you're sacrificing quite a lot in compenent and build quality.

Yes, you are right. Let's encourage laziness. Sorry, my bad.
Imagine that. Mitch in the middle of another negative thread.
I hear eye of the tiger in the background.
With that said if your not going to root it. Note 10.1. No discussion needed. 10x better straight out of the box.

I recommend you spend more time helping others than criticizing those who do
I've had the prime and the note, note wins hands down. The stylus is much more useful than the keyboard. The plastic body is actually better for Wi-Fi signal strength. If you need hdmi or usb out you can always buy the adaptor.

I'm bored and my time is free so I'll tell how I came to the Note. I owned every Asus tab with keyboard. My daughter was going back to college so I was gonna let her have my infinity and keyboard. One week before she left the Note launched so we went down to Bestbuy and grabbed the first one and brought it home to try. I never really trusted the Asus because of ANRs and crashes so I didn't feel comfortable letting her take it because I know she would be *****ing about it when something went wrong and believe me with Asus its always something. She used the Note for a couple hours and said it was great so I grabbed it and put it through the paces side by side with my infinity. After about a hour I was boxing up the infinity and on my way to Bestbuy to exchange for a Note of my own. My daughter has told me many times "the Notes the best thing for school hands down" when I ask her how it compares to her iPad2 (charger caught fire burn wall in her apt and got money back) she said they're too different animals. We are both trouble free and happy and the world is a better place..... because she's not complaining

nice, I love JB on this thing, any more optimization is fine by me
Sounds good!
i want to hear that so thank you so much
Hats off to Asus, for keeping the updates coming. Some OEM are still trying to get Jelly Bean 4.1 rolled out. Meanwhile Asus is setting up to push 4.2 to much of the Transformer line.
Really glad I got this Infinity. Nothing but good times and updates without much delay since day 1.

Prime's pretty much the 'beta testers'. they did it with the tf300 and 4.1, too. Will probably be a while until we get it.

Yeah around my house it's compared to going through someone's wallet or purse! Rude!
im not sure how i feel about having the nav buttons in the center of the screen. also i saw some video of the multitasking, seems to take up a strip running in the center(horizontally) across the screen instead of alone the left side vertically, definitely not a fan of that look.
this multiuser feature is nothing new really, have been using it through an app called "SwitchMe" for a long time and it works great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.switchme. there's also a thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807524

I wouldn't worry too much...if there are that many issues, they will be addressed. The last thing they want is to lose all credibility while they're spending more money developing key lime pie. Perception is a key component of how valuable a company's stock is, and I am sure they realize that. Just my opinion.

There was one early on by Mr Hyde which I installed and have been using ever since. That was discontinued about a year ago though. Was just wondering if there's been any development since.
See...there's hardly any way to get answers here,,, I mean thank God for the geniuses touching down to earth ever so often with there brilliant work but then they flutter back into their bong smoke filled dens to game on or whatever other strange itch they're wanting to scratch at that particular moment...lol. but answers for the old folks....hehehe not a chance!

C'mon man, don't be a troll. There are very few owners/users of your particular tab. Which is why there is little development for it. Have you seen Shakatus contributions to the community of P51xx.Take a look for yourself, and then try spouting off. If he, or any other, of the great devs around here actually had one of your models, maybe they may be able to figure something out. But, he doesn't. So he wont. Unless of course you want to send him yours to try, but I can guess the answer to that. Bashing people around here for problems that you are having (or unwilling to do anything about, except lean on others ie: learn something for yourself) is unacceptable and will be reported. No trolls allowed......next!
I wasn't trying to be crass....I will be happy to donate or whatever in order to advance the work on this model....but there's no current anything for this device.....I've ran down every link and thread trying to find anything useful to break VZW's hold on this device, so it's not a matter of not researching or being lazy....my apologies.
