I just pee'd a little
There were even more devices... I didn't include the eReaders... I know Roebeet has hacked his Pandigital Novel and others are working on the Nook Color. The KNO devices are going to run Linux?
I love the GTab... this thing is GRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT. I know the folks on here don't love the screen and are looking for a Tegra II device w/ an IPS screen. I'm more patient and won't look for another device until I see lots of DEV activity here on XDA for them.
It will be neat to see what shakes out and which of these tablets will become competitive in the marketplace.
We are SO gonna get abandoned
It took me a long time to sift through the tablet mess and find one that I thought had the most potential. I chose the G tablet, but how long before the well dries up and we see fewer and fewer updates for this tablet because there are so many more to choose from?
I don't have the funds to purchase a new tablet every 6 months.

HAHA!!! Another link in the article points to the "island of misfit tablets" and apparently our beloved GTABLET is the posterchild!

LOL...
iPad wannabe's, so now Apple invented the tablet/slate eh?
He's kind of right though - rushing to market with 2.2 on these things is proof enough that Google never meant it for tablets. They exasperated it by not allowing the market to work, but can you blame them? Many games and apps aren't formatted for anything bigger than 4 to 7 inches so people would I think, have a real problem and complain to Google. They nipped that one in the bud. No native home/back/menu in the ui means it has to be included in a custom ui, lest we have to hunt in the dark and sustain much a frustration, since it's in the custom ui, it doesn't persist in certain apps, which means no matter what you'll have to suffer through this frustration at some point, with some app....maybe your favourite one. That or franken-fy the tablet with ghastly mods to find our non-lit capacitive keys....or stretch pretty far to get at them either way on this size device.
I don't think it would be 3/4 as bad if they just made the keys back-lit though. I honestly cannot understand why it wasn't made that way.
In the end, misfit toy? Maybe. But I sure do love mine
If I was ever entertaining the idea of getting another tablet this year, my first brand choice would be HTC, then Dell or LG. Not really looking forward to anything else. But that's only if my G Tablet falls extremely short of my needs and that's not the case right now.

I am comfortable withe the future. My first phone was an MT3G and I and many others fel in love with this first wave Google device. TO THIS DAY devs that loved there time with that device are porting newer roms to work in the confines of its 90 MB of ram. That to me is the best part about xda. Taking what you have and making it better every day as a community. Progression and new tek are great but if you can't ever be happy with what you have now you wont be happy with the next thing either.
Speaking of the future though, if Nvidia and HTC turn the lights down low and get there Google on.... till then I fing love my gtablet.
I love my gTab as well but in the end it's another electronic device and I would not hesitate to buy another tab when this one begins to seem too slow and/or a bunch of really cool new apps and games are released but cannot be installed and/or ran on the gTab. When that day comes I'll be on the lookout for another tablet to drop that meets the spec/price/value/xda-dev-support sweet spot the gTab did when I first bought it.
I still have my old Commodore so it's not like I can't appreciate folks that have deep feelings about a device but I enjoy progress as well.
A lot of action waiting in the wings. But how come they missed the Elocity A10? I expect to receive mine in about 2 weeks, and it has everything my Gtab has, plus a gorgeous IPS screen, with the highest rez in the tablet market.
What other tablets?!?!?!
i dont care what ppl say paying only $400 for the best computer substitute i have ever had is not a problem. i looked at MANY tablets including the iPad (but lets face it the iTunes syncing in 5 hours because it has to rename my media and put it in random folders so that i cant mess with my own media fiasco headache is just not worth it) and i had a few basic requirements:
1. Capacitive touch screen only
2. 10" or bigger or its just a large phone
3. Dockable - preferred but not required
4. long lasting battery
5. rootable with custom roms
6. expandable memory
7. both CPU and GPU - at least 1GHz
8. has a reasonable price
the gTablet met all of those without any problems. and im very happy with it to the point that i only use my main computer now for media sync with my zune and programming.

Exactly. (Not to say the mt3g is even close in spec, but for its time) This is why I jumped on the mt3g when it first came out. It just recently can't play some newer games but zenonia 2 works great and so do emulators and flash net surfing. I got a 4gb 10 series SD card just to give it a little boost with davlic partition cash. All I'm saying is these are the fun bits of squeezing every last drop out of our gear as possible that I'm waiting for with the gtablet. Being able to run new apps on my gtablet that someone thought they had to run out and spend 800$ to be able to use.
@OP
You're missing the Acer Iconia A100 (the 7" variant). That's the one I have my eyes upon.
Other than that, visit ARMdevices.net for some of the less-recognized tabs that will be coming. Gigabyte, MSI, Shuttle, are all showing tablets at CEBIT. And Samsung/Moto both said they'll have other models on tap this year. So, yes, it will be crowded, which is good news for the consumer. More choices, lower prices.

All of them why should they be compared to anything? They are stand alone products each with pluses and minuses of their own including crapple.
Nice, sweet, don't you just love choices? Asus Transformer released this month for $399 without keyboard.
The one that is going to dominate is the Asus Eee Slate ep121. Yeah, it is expensive, but is more like a desktop than any of the others. With windows 8 right around the corner, definitely looking better.
Unfortunately the guys of Yifang / Nextbook / e-Fun are complete ass*** .
They I've made a couple (or three?) identical devices, M7000 (silver back) / M7002 (black back) & M7000NBD (silver back), with complete different chips, two first driven by RK3066 (1.6Gz) and third one by AML8726-MXS (1.5Gz).
More than that in the site of Nextbook they promote some Nextbook Premium7HD (silver back) and they didn't mention speed processor or chip inside. This device are also branded as NX007HD & NX007HD8G.
From commercial point of view they just released the one they have in stock.
From user point of view a total mess!!! People is mounting Rockchip stuff in AMLogic devices and vice-verse.
Lots of users with their devices bricked... not all the users have the knowledge to notice internal difference.
The worse part of it is that this device are cheap and really good.
I love Yifang devices... but IMHO this Chinese guys have gone too far doing this chitty tricks.

Just got my Teclast tablet and I have to say I'm really impressed. Build quality is excellent. And screen...
I can confirm 40K points in Antutu.
Well my vote goes to Teclast and I wish someone on xda could pick it for a little root project.

Finally i found a person to ask about p90hd.
Is it a 24bit color display?
How long battery is staying?
Is it kitkat preloaded?
Can you share a photo of the product if possible?
Because most images available on the net are bad quality renders...
Did you test MHL(if exist)/HDMI/Miracast features? Sorry i know thats too much to ask.

I believe it is 24 bit. Will have to check.
I was playing some racing games like Asphalt 8 yesterday for about 2 hours and used about half of juice.
Yes KitKat is there.
I left my tablet at home so I'll try to post some screenshots later but believe me it looks exactly like on official Teclast pictures
HDMI works flawlessly. I have a set up that uses splitter connected to my sound system which then connects to my TV and it worked without a problem.
WIDI/Miracast will have to wait until I get my Netgear PTV3000 I ordered yesterday.
Hope that helps.

i have an older win tablet (iconia w510), but looking for a tablet with higher res. so far Teclast X98 Pro has gotten on my list. Any other tablets out there that I should consider?
Cube iwork 11 ; Onda V919 Air CH; Teclast X98 Plus...
The currently is a sale for Chuwi Hi10. I actually ordered it yesterday and will post my review when I get it (but this will take some time). I posted about it int he Windows 10 sub-forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/chuwi-hi10-170-black-friday-t3257969
The tablet has some really nice specs and, for a few extra $$, you can get a keyboard for it as well. That thread contains (my) affiliate link, but you have a direct link to the product as well.
thanks, the Chuwi Hi10 looks interesting. last i checked there was a lot of bad reviews for the teclast pro on gearbest, but i dont find them now.
What is the best 7"-8" Chinese tablet now(end of 2015)?
I would like at least 2Gb of RAM good screen and good battery. Also I don't need GSM (I have mifi) so I think it can be $10 cheaper without it.
Will use it for games and web browsing.
