I like the Nook Color and almost pulled the trigger. Only thing that really stopped me was the skinny screen ratio--too much scrolling to read PDFs in landscape. Got me a cheapie to last until next Xmas. Very confident 300 bucks will net a very nice 10 inch tablet by then.
Looks like the reviews on this tablet are pretty mediocre. If I had to buy something today I'd probably go with the Archos 101 for 300 bucks. But like I said, I suspect I can get something for that price next year that won't leave me feeling like I compromised. |
It's not a finished product. Apparently even though it is a dual core Tecra2 it only use one chip.
Since this device does not have the market there will be some tweaking needed on this device to get the Kindle app and angry birds, (though you can get angry birds from getjar.
This device is also extreamly sluggish. I'm thinking if viewsonic does release the source the XDA developers would be able to make an OS version that can really make use of the hardware.
As of today however it is not a finished product.
