I have a Viewsonic G-Tablet and most applications that I use run just fine on it (once the tablet has been improved by XDA modifications). The ones that don't aren't able to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape. However those that are set up to scale to a larger screen (10.1") look better. > > Right now, I don't see myself as a tablet user. For one thing, I'm not > > really "on the go" that much.

I got a G-Tablet for just that reason, i.e., to get a feel for the tab experience. I love it for keeping track of things on the web, e.g., stocks, news, pandora, etc. It's available now for under $400. I still use my Nexus One when I am out and about and my laptop for programming but the gtab is what I pack around the house. It has Nvida Tegra II 1 GHz processors so I am hopeful that when the Honeycomb source is available it will get ported to it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
