The specs aren’t technically unimpressive. I thought they would be, too, but Anandtech just started with their benchmarks and CPU performance is great [1], GPU performance leaves everyone in the dust [2]. This, together with best in class battery life makes me wonder why anyone would currently buy a competitor. (The cameras are horrible. I guess if you really love cameras – seriously love – then you might want to check out competitors.)
At the risk of being labeled an Android fanboy - I've bought three Viewsonic G tablets after owning an iPad 1 for a few months. There's this thing out on the web called "Flash" that quite a few sites seem to use that the Froyo on the G-Tab supports. With Dolphin HD I also have integrated Password and Bookmark sync with my desktop computers using LastPass and Xmarks. In Android I am able to do some very nice things with Live Wallpapers to keep me updated on weather, and give me a nice animation of the current conditions. Since the G-Tab uses a Tegra 2 it has similar CPU and GPU ratings (Fruit Ninja HD looks positively lovely). Oh, and it's WiFi, comes with 16 GB of RAM, a Micro SD slot, a USB connection (external keyboard or USB stick) and costs $359.
So, there might be a FEW reasons to check out the competitors...
Yeah, there are definitely reasons to check out the competition. I don't know why this has to be a competition between owners. I enjoy the device I own but I acknowledge it has limitations.
