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.

[Q] Cheap ICS Tablet

Hey guys, looking to get a really cheap ICS tablet - original wanted to get a Ainol Nova 7 paladin, but found out that because of it's CPU, it is not compatible with most apps.
Wondering if it would be worth getting this:
512MB 4GB 7" Android 4.0 Capacitive Touch Tablet MID 1GHZ WiFi/ 3G Camera HDMI
(stick that in google - I am not able to post links yet)
or
www(DOT)ebay(DOT)com/itm/512MB-4GB-7-Android-4-0-Capacitive-Touch-Tablet-MID-1GHZ-WiFi-3G-Camera-HDMI-/160762504214?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item256e312416#ht_5492wt_986
Or if these chinese tablets tend to give problems.
What do you think? Are there any other tablets out there like the Novo 7, but with the ARM architect?
Thanks.

Depends on your price range, I guess, but there are usually HP Touchpads for sale all over eBay and you can easily run CyanogenMod9 on them.

I bought one of these, mainly for our 6 year old son, so that he would stop asking me for my phone. It runs great! Screen resolution is not the best, but good for what he does. Great for a reader, web browser, and email. Have not watched a movie on it yet. But, for the price, it's a good deal.

Asus models look very advanced. Have a look at their selection!

Teclast X98 Pro Review + Root + ROMs + Info

Processor: 2.24 GHz quad-core Intel Atom X5-Z8500
Memory/Storage: 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM; 64 GB internal storage and microSD slot

Cameras: 2 MP front, 5 MP back
Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, mini HDMI, micro USB 2.0
Operating system: Windows 10 Home Edition
Battery: 8000 mAh
Weight: 1.19 pounds
It could definitely be a Surface 3 killer assuming the user experience doesn't suck.
This thread will be updated as more info, reviews, unboxings and questions come in.

I've been looking forward to this device. My only problem with it is I haven't seen any decent keyboard docks that aren't just flimsy foldable cases for any of the X98 line.

Its on sale on Tinydeal too.
http://www.tinydeal.com/es/teclast-...-4gb-64gb-tablet-pc-w-bluetooth-p-155607.html
I will have to buy it from here since aliexpress does not ship to my country.

Heard that they will release a dual boot android/10 down there road.
Any truth to this? if so i will hold tight for that.
*EDIT*
had it open in a tab i hadn't got to yet.
http://techtablets.com/2015/08/teclast-x98-pro-price-dual-boot-and-4g-systems-to-follow/
Wonder how long we are talking... a few weeks? a few months?
*EDIT2*
People seem to think that the dual boot is just a software flash/upgrade away. And that you wouldn't have to actually buy a different model.
This would make me pull the trigger on it.
What do you guys think?

It's dimensions are just about identical to the iPad Air, I'm reasonably sure something like this should work just fine - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/ultrathin-air?crid=1608

Link is broken, sounds Tinydeal canceled. Would give a shot to geekbuying http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Tecl...-64G-HDMI-Bluetooth-WiFi---Sliver-350953.html

Tinydeal just updated the link.
Here it is again http://www.tinydeal.com/es/teclast-...-4gb-64gb-tablet-pc-w-bluetooth-p-155607.html

I've been looking at this tablet for the past hour and it seems really nice. Also, the best price I could find was here: http://dealsnow.info/2015/08/14/teclast-x98-pro-best-windows-10-tablet-currently-available/
It also offers a 5$ discount off the regular price.

Any thoughts on JustusIV question on this?? I am in the same position, ready to hit the "preorder" button if anybody could indicate if this would be "dual-bootable" after a software upgrade and not beeing a hardware issue?

According to the official Teclast website this is a Windows only tablet. I could not find any mention of dual-boot. Also, at the link I posted earlier it seems to be in Stock, not just pre-order.

cant wait for it to deliver!
hey all i just bought this tablet. I really don't care if it has dual boot on it or not. I have been testing out an emulator called DROID4X and it is absolutely amazing. Its extremely fast once you get it downloaded of course (slow download). I ran a bunch of benchmarks and scored higher than any other system. so the emulator works really good. very stable, and all the games Ive played on it so far work perfectly.
I scored 83,000 on ice storm unlimited.
114,000 on antutu.
8.926 seconds on 10,000,000 pi.
of course I'm running this all on an oc 4790k build but even if the z8500 can do 30% of that ill be fine. If they get dual boot working on it even better. Until then the emulator works perfect. i would score higher but my system isn't optimized to run android. I actually ran android off of boot able USB and it was horribly slow. i might snag another ssd to install it because i don't want to fragment my windows ssd. that's one concern i have about the dual boot. can anyone chime in on how well the system will separate the files for dual boot? what if you need to reinstall windows or reset android?

That's amazing. have you tried PS2 emulators (or gamecube)?

Greetings my friends! Any way to clone dump the eMMC to an external backup drive, USB Flash Drive (Pen drive) or microSD Card?
I need to backup everything including Windows and Android boot partitions, data partitions, recovery partitions before doing anything on the tablet.
Thanks!

temperature problems
Hello,
did you detect temperature problems which my cause of core throttleing ?
I read in another forum abour 86C in one core. Ther is a video how to improve
cooling capacity of the tablet.
Thinking about to use it as desktop replacement for my daugther and me.
Is it fast enough for itunes, MS Office, Full HD Video and some easy gaming ?
best regards huggy2008

It is. On youtube you can find some videos that show some basic performance

$239 at aliexpress now. Win 10 and android 5.1 pre-installed but it doesn't say if it's dual-boot. Sale price (20% off) only valid for 24 hours starting September 14.

Nice find. I also posted the link on my site (http://dealsnow.info/2015/09/14/teclast-x98-pro-dual-boot-for-just-240/ has affiliate link)
Direct link to the product (no affiliate link): http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...ablet-PC-Intel-Cherry/609719_32458020265.html

Hey guys, I uploaded my video review and unboxing of the Teclast X98 Pro!

Hi Gents, also the dual boot version is out for sale

I will getting one tomorrow. Its the windows 10 only version. Will be my first tablet.

7" Android tablet with 2Gb RAM and good screen

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.
