I have been looking for a tablet but i seem to be a bit confused with whats going on with the android software. Every tablet i have looked at doesnt seem to have the traditional android features and settings most have a whole different play store called either getjar or applib etc the salesman said that i needed to get a tablet with honeycomb 3.0 as this still has the back door access for rooting is this true. What decent tablets are about for around £150 doesnt matter if is second hand just looking for something with Bluetooth wifi and usb host which to my knowledge is available with android 3.0. Ive looked at the archos g3 and g9 but they have android 4.0 and root access is blocked also doesnt have half the functions also looked at the viewsonic viewpad 7 but thats stuck on android 2.2
Any suggestions or advice on anything ive mentioned would really be great.

1) PLEASE use punctuation.
2) Almost any name-brand tablet that runs 4.0.x (ICS) or 4.1.x (JB) can be rooted. If it uses "getjar" or something it's running Java but probably not Android, any Android tablet should have "Play Store" which actually has nothing to do with rooting or not.
If you have that much money to spend I suggest you look into getting an HP TouchPad (if you don't need a front facing camera) or an Acer or a transformer.
The archos i looked at in store today said it had android 4 ics but the salesman said it wasnt the proper android software and i would be better off using one with honeycomb 3.2 but i will have a look at the suggested models online now

According to the guys over at Droid-Life the new android market could possibly be launching tomorrow, which mean you will be able to browse and install all apps from the market directly to your android devices, wonder if this will coincidely install the apps onto our gtabs if they are setup with the same account.

It is out today.

The online market send the apk to your phone once you select it from the web market. Since the gtab has no phone I don't know of any way to get it from the market to the phone except manually porting the apk file or downloading it directly to the gtab via wireless connection.

As someone who has struggled with getting Market working , and not successfully, it is very frustrating to finally see the apps on he new site, but still not being able to download them. I have tried to download some, but as you said, there is no way to send it to the tablet. And most of the ones I have tried to far says it is not for my phone. Moving the APK frommy Droid is still the only way for me. Oh well, I continue to hope things will improve.
i download them from the site directly to my gtab with no problem at all i am running the vegan 5.1b rom and it works amazingly works better than my android phone, i just have my google account setup on my gtab and it syncs right over its one of the options when i go to install an app from the site see below.

but it only appears at the web-market , when you search for it on your device using market enabler with 440-20 for softbank (where its available only) you will only able to see the paid version for ¥600!
i think to try it in legal way just someone need to own a softbank-sim/usim and install the trial using the web-market while phone is connected to PC !
no other ideas atm !

Does anyone have access to the Japanese market? =/
Awesome, up!!

Anyone upload the apk?
Nobody can find this?
I bought the full version as oddly enough the free version wouldn't show up in the Android market for me.
I was surprised to see it has 3D graphics but I had to turn it off to read the tiny text. I decided to leave it off after realising that tilt-controls and 3D games are are complete mismatch.
Another issue I have is with the lack of a calibrate button for the tilt controls and a rather jerky response when trying to tack enemy ships that is frustrating more than satisfying.

Any word on Android 3.1? I see where it's out for Verizon Xooms and WiFi Xooms. Any reports on it? Any date for arrival on the Transformer?
Rumor is mid-June.
Not be rude, but there are several threads on this. Search?
And someone mentioned June but I don't remember their source.

Asus Germany on FB
ASUS Sweden posted this pic on their facebook.

Doesn't say anything about when its going to be released though =/
Translating the facebook comments, 3.1 is coming, but they're not sure about Ice Cream Sandwich.
On another forum I was browsing, a Swedish Asus person said they've had 3.1 and are working on it.. But they said summertime release... If the translation was correct.
thisismynext says they've been promised "early June" by Asus (review itself says June, the Q&A specifies "early")
You know, given how Asus has pretty much crammed everything into the TF and made it work (microSD, full-size USB ports on the dock, SD card on the dock, etc.), as well as the Asus-specific apps (including DLNA support), I'm pretty confident that they'll get 3.1 out the door as quickly as humanly possible and ICS as well.
They seem very aggressive about making this stuff work, possibly because of their experience in making high-performance motherboards and such. It's probably in their DNA to get into the guts of things, which is one of the things I like about the company.

A picture worth a 1000 words, definately gonna keep it!
Ice Cream Sandwich will be OPEN SOURCE (Google confirmed this) so we'll definitely see it on Asus Transformer one way or another

If you have bought one of these tabs and are as unhappy about it as I was then read on.
THESE ARE IN NO WAY 'FLYTOUCH 10' MODELS!
I know what it says in the about page but anyone can spoof a model name in build.prop. These are in fact SuperPad 10s http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/10-RK3188-quad-core-android-4_1622115746.html Look familiar?
TabTronics lie about the spec of these devices (NO GPS and only 1.4ghz NOT 1.6)! I got mine for free because they wanted me to keep my mouth shut about their false advertising. Just shows how dodgy some people can be.
Anyway, I now have a FREE rk3188 tab to play with. First off spec. The parts inside this tab seem to be a mix of rk3066 and rk3188 gear (Notice the Flytouch 9 is the same form factor and an rk3066?).
Ive seen 2 versions of this firmware now. the one it came with (which was a mix of an M8Pro and a TV stick firmware) and the one on their site (the better one).
Ive built a basic version of the firmware on the site and it runs well!
spec:
2Gb Internal storage (More games/apps) at the cost of external storage (12Gb Free)
De-Bloated
De-Odexed
init.d support
CWM Touch Recovery v6.0.3
Cant remember if its fully rooted but I can show you how if it isnt
Antutu score is around 18k depending on what im doing. Boot time seems to get longer and longer, not sure if its the apps im running or an issue with the firmware (more testing needed). I usually get above the Samsung S3 so that keeps me happy
I fully intend to develop this rom and maybe at some point expand it to other platforms. If anyone is interested in helping me with this project then please pm me
Anyway, here is the link, use batchtool and do a restore (may need to format the internal card on first boot), takes about 10 mins to do the initial setup so dont worry, it hasnt stalled
DOWNLOAD
I hope this helps someone somewhere get the best out of this device. Feel free to comment, good or bad

I just stumbled upon a nifty little feature that I don't remember seeing mentioned anywhere before. At first, I thought it was an Android "L" developer preview feature, but low & behold, I just tried it on my HTC One & sure enough it is live there as well.
At any rate, I am curious when Google implemented this feature? I don't know if it was in one of the many GMS/Play Store updates, or if it has been there all this time & I just missed it somehow.
Give it a try, if you haven't. Just go into apps, select the "all apps" tab & long press any app that is not installed already. It will put the device into multiple selection mode, where you can select & install multiple applications much easier than selecting individual apps & pressing install for each one. Sure, it's not as easy as using TB or another backup utility, but for those of us that are bumping between KK & Android "L", where most system & data restore apps don't work yet due to context changes, it definitely saves a little time.
I am interested to know if you can do this on any JB or ICS device too. Try it out & let me know.

I think it was implemented some updates ago, not many but. 2-3 back I think.
It doesn't matters what OS version you have, Play Store and Services go on their own way so I think anyone can get it.
Greetings!
I've discovred this when i changed my nexus mid-may.
