I had been looking for a tablet to watch streaming sports on ESPN3 and FoxSoccer.net. Both sites use Flash video, so obviously the iPad wasn't going to cut it. I read the reviews of the G-Tablet and being pretty successful with mods in the past I decided to give it a try. I'm very glad I did - the G-Tablet with the VeganTab ROM beats the iPad in every respect. The instructions for replacing the awful ROM that comes with the G-Tablet are easy to find and follow on the Web, although going through the operation isn't for everyone. It's a shame that this tablet is hamstrung by bad out-of-the-box software - it could have been a contender (my girlfriend, an iPad owner, is jealous of how the G-Tablet performs). For sports fans who want live video on a tablet there's no substitute.

Out of the box - meh! Change the ROM, do a few little tweaks and then you start to rock. XDA Developers has great stuff to help you. This tutorial [...] really makes it easy to replace the Viewsonic interface. Oh - and did I mention that unlike many devices, this one is rooted so you don't have to play that unlock the device game. I found it was a little fussy getting the android market fixed up and sometimes particular about connecting to some wireless routers but then after Windows, that is a minor thing. I sat in my comfy chair reading the news this morning, had a quick game of Angry Birds (awesome on this screen compared to my Droid X) and did a little web surfing. I love this thing. So, if you don't mind tinkering around, you don't want to have to pay a cell carrier for an account just to use your tablet and you want something that has plenty of power for the next couple of years at a price you can't beat with a stick - get one. Sign up at XDA Developers to ride the new wave with the rest of us and enjoy. Oh.... if you want someone to blow your nose, wipe your bum and tell you what socks you should wear - get an iPad instead.

If I could give this tablet a 4.5 stars I would. The tablet market may not be perfect yet but this tablet is my number one choice for the $$$ without a doubt. I rate myself "medium" on the techy level (I can not code or hack) and I don't have a ton of patience, but I was able to ROOT and flash the vegan tab ROM and now this thing is simple and very fast and smooth. If you don't know what rooting or ROMing means then it is all explained in detail in the xda developers forum, just google it. It took a little time but I was able to add a 16gb mini sd and install some custom apps like ES Explorer, a new media player, angry birds etc. and I could not be happier. It does take a little time to figure out how to do it all but the price and the fun of customization makes this tab with all its great hardware a great choice. I paid $379.
