ViewSonic gTablet Is Today’s Woot.com Deal, Only $279.99

[wicked]

It might not be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, but for $279.99 it'd be hard to pass up today’s deal over at Woot. The ViewSonic gTablet running Android 2.2 and featuring a 1GHz processor, 10.1-inch screen, and 16GB of on-board storage offers, for the day at least, another alternative for a cheap Android tablet that gives the rooted and modded NOOKcolor a run for it’s money. Another device that has received much love from the development community, the gTablet might be no Motorola XOOM, but for this price, who is complaining?

It doesn't have it officially, but I haven't dug into Android Tablet Forum to find out if there's a GingerBread ROM out for it -- I know there's a CM 6 port for it, though.

I wish I could get it.

EDIT:

That's a (probably) incomplete list of ROMs for the GTab.

That links to the CyanogenMod 6 download (Beta 4 Harmony) being done by Bekit.

10.1 not portable enough for me..but a GREAT price!

[SLAG IT!]

I would like to own one as well.

For that price, this is a great deal. Not a bad device at all either.

So..did anyone pick one up?

Thanks for the heads up G! Unfortunately due to some unexpected expenses, I will have to wait. Since I'm planning on getting a WiFi XOOM aswell.
