Review
If you asked me to tell you the bestselling Tablet PC on all of Amazon, I would immediately say the iPad 2, Motorola Xoom or Samsung Galaxy Tab. But those are the big boys that spend trillions of dollars a day on advertising, and are talked about by industry insiders everywhere. Most consumers don’t even know who ViewSonic is, or that they make a tablet, and that makes their “under the radar” popularity and sales explosion even more impressive. The ViewSonic gTablet 10 Inch Wifi tablet has rocketed right up the bestsellers list on popular online retailer Amazon, a site many analysts and beat writers monitor for trends, and is currently the #1 tablet bestseller.
When a company’s tablet offering outsells every other major manufacturer’s tablets and they spend about 1% as much as the big boys do on ads, a very important fact is revealed. These sales are coming from friend and family member referrals. Someone buys the attractively priced $299 ViewSonic gTablet, they like it, they tell a friend, and the trend goes viral. Personally, as a company owner, I would prefer word of mouth advertising over paid ads any day, and not just because of the cost. If your product is the #1 seller in its class on the largest e-Retailer in the world, you know your customers are pleased with your product, and telling others. Let’s see what the ViewSonic gTablet owners are so happy about.
The $299 gTablet has an iPad 2-like 10 inch multitouch LCD screen that is crisp and bright, and offers a beautiful 1024 x 600 display. The tablet-favorite Tegra 2 processor and Android 2.2 Froyo OS works swiftly together, and the user interface is smooth. It works naturally, and intuitively. The 1080p video playback is very visually pleasing, and it comes with 16GB (upgradeable to 32GB via the SD slot).
For comparison, the Viewsonic G Tablet is only 6 ounces heavier than the iPad 2, and much lighter than most tablets. It is less than an inch taller than the iPad 2, and similar in other measurements. And the front is nearly edge to edge screen, which is very impressive looking. At the top center of the screen is a 1.3 mp front facing webcam for video calls and chats, and a really nice feature is the light sensor that auto-adjusts the screen for you depending on the amount of light hitting it.
The 11 to 14 hour run time, even when watching movies and surfing, is absolutely phenomenal, and Wifi access was perfect, no complaints. I can see why, at $200 less than the iPad 2 and most other tablets, the Viewsonic g Tablet is the top selling tablet on all of Amazon, and could easily be the early candidate for “sleeper tablet of the year” awards.
Overview
The ViewSonic gTablet has a crisp and vibrant 10.1” capacitive touch screen display is plenty of real estate for even the most demanding tablet users. Great for multitasking, viewing multiple apps, and especially browsing the web, viewing pages in their entirety. Sharing entertainment and photos on this gorgeous display is truly a delight.
