ViewSonic gTablet 2.2  Review

Basic Features Review

Lightweight design at only 1.5 lbs., and just about 0.5 inches thin, the ViewSonic gTablet provides easy handling with a very sleek and classic design fit for the young adult and young at heart alike.

With a 10.1” HD display monitor, the ViewSonic gTablet is also perfect for entertainment purposes such as viewing movies and videos and for working purposes such as e-mails and video chats. In addition, the ViewSonic

gTablet boasts of 3D-like graphics having 1080p HD video capabilities. ViewSonic gTablet’s system is powered by the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, which guarantees smooth and speedy responsiveness. gTablet’s powerful processor makes browsing and scrolling a breeze because of its fluidity. Furthermore, the NVIDIA processor was specifically built to enhance gaming, video playing and chatting, as well as web browsing, which makes the whole experience very surreal.

The ViewSonic gTablet also boasts of a front-view camera, which enables video chatting from any location thanks to its Wi-Fi capabilities. It also provides Bluetooth support and its battery is said to last at least 8 to 10 hours. In addition, it has a built-in 16 GB internal memory and also provides the option for memory expansion through microSD memory cards. And of course, no tablet can do without music storage and playback capabilities as well.

Android OS 2.2

The ViewSonic gTablet is powered by Google Android OS 2.2, also known as “Froyo”. The Android OS 2.2 provides better overall performance in various software systems such as JavaScript loading, Google programs such as Google Maps, Google Talk and Gmail.

Probably the best feature of the Android OS is its ability to multitask and easily scroll and browse through application after application. gTablet allows the user to play and work all at the same time by allowing the user to open multiple apps with just a flick of a finger.

The Android OS was built to go with the user’s intuition by allowing the user to do more and see more, all at the same time. For example, Android OS makes it possible for the user to check his or her personal mail while checking their favorite fashion or sports blogs as well. They can also read their eBooks while browsing for a song they want to listen to.

But even with these wonderful features of the ViewSonic gTablet, it’s impossible to not be compared to its main competitor, which is the Apple iPad. Especially with the Android operating system, users are more often than not wary about what this tablet can bring to the table that the others cannot.

Customer Reviews

Customer ratings online have given a 3.5 out of 5 stars for ViewSonic gTablet’s overall performance and appearance. Reviews seem to be mixed and some prefer some of the features while they completely have no regard for other features.

One customer highly recommends the ViewSonic gTablet and says that for a much cheaper price compared to its competitors, it’s very worth the money indeed. The user also stated that with the price, solid hardware, and perhaps a software upgrade the ViewSonic is a very good alternative if a person is not up to joining the Apple bandwagon.

Another customer simply raved about the gTablet’s multitasking abilities saying that he was able to browse the net while listening to Pandora radio. In addition, the customizable desktop and applications were a very big bonus as well. He also raved about the very smooth and fast performance of the Tegra 2 processor, and the fact that he didn’t have to sync information from the tablet to a PC and vice versa because transferring of data was made to be so much easier and less hassle.

Summary and Recommendations

Overall, most customers are considering the ViewSonic gTablet as a very good, not to mention a much cheaper, alternative to the iPad. Some of them are even saying that once the gTablet has grown on the user, the user will realize that it performs just as good as its main competitor.

Some users rave about certain features of the ViewSonic gTablet, while others aren’t so impressed. But whichever way, it all boils down to personal preference and how it accommodates the needs of the users. But all in all, the ViewSonic gTablet is highly recommended for those who are looking to spend less and get more with their tablet PCs.
