If you’re looking to save yourself a few dollars on a 10 inch tablet, look no further than the ViewSonic G Tablet available at Office Depot for $399. It’s got Android 2.2, which isn’t optimized for tablets, but it still runs well by most reviews such as we’ve seen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It’s also got a 10 inch touchscreen display, 1024×600 resolution with 1080p HD playback support, Wi-Fi 802.11n, bluetooth, GPS, 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, 16GB onboard storage, Tegra 2 dual-core processor and 512MB RAM.

Now, this is the first Tegra 2 tablet to hit the market, and its got a lot of value for $400, however, we still think 2011 is going to be rocking Android tablets like crazy, so if you can hold off for a couple more months, we’re sure you’ll see some higher end tablets coming out for a little more cash, but worth every penny.

    Picked one up at Sears on Black Friday for about $370. The stock UI that comes on it leaves alot to be desired but the hackability of the unit itself is worth it. After rooting and flashing the TnT lite 2.0 vanilla rom, this tablet becomes much more enjoyable. Angry Birds on a 10″ display is just plain awesome.

    Gary, I just picked the gTablet too. Please, can you provide some simple outline, list of urls, etc, so that I too can do the root and do the other changes…? I’m an android newbie, but technically capable… Thanks

    Gary, I’ve rooted my EVO with unrevoked and it wasn’t too hard but I’m not familiar with the T n T lite. Are there clear instructions you can share a link to? Thanks!
