QUOTE Where the ViewSonic completely trounces the low-cost competition, however, is with its battery life. In an idle state, connected to a Wi-Fi router and with the screen on medium brightness, it lasted 8hrs 34mins before running out of juice – more than double the life of the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Just bought my Viewsonic Viewpad 10s WIFI + 3G Pretty decent except the screen resolution could be better. Yeah jwyong001 flashed mine to honeycomb. Cool dude if u need to root and flash rom he is the guy you wanna talk to :-) I'm not complaining too coz the price is really cheap. Don't compare to those high end ones. I guess the high end ones will hv good resolution. I can live with mine considering the price I paid for.
I got myself a digi smartplan and the 3g works out fine.
Overall, a decent tablet and only drawback is the screen resolution and lack of accessories or should I say none at the moment that is made for Viewpad 10s.

Yeah RM699 but reason being this price is because they took out the 16GB microsd card. If u add the sdhc is gonna be ard RM780 assuming the 16GB is abt RM80. Btw I wanna sell my 16gb and upgrade to 32gb. If anyone buying fr u know where and want a 16gb, I sell for RM60 :-) so u can save more.
Battery is decent 6-8hrs shd be alright. I'm so used to keep charging my htc phone that this tablet the same I charge whenever I get the chance so hv not really tested the batt yet.

I still haven't decided to get this tablet or Galaxy W. My nokia x6 still serves me well, at least true for phone/sms functionality. My purpose on getting this tablet is for email/social/web browsing and reading pdf ebooks. Do u recommend to do so? Is the screen problem acceptable for reading or browsing?

Besides rooting will void the warranty. I'm asking my brother to come and check the tablet first since I'm too far away. If everything went smooth, I'll have this tablet as soon as next week, otherwise it will be end of this month This post has been edited by patdidi: Dec 9 2011, 05:13 PM

rooting is not hard.. installing the driver for viewpad in ur computer is tougher. u need to get the usb cable separately as it is not included in the set
however charging 100 for rooting is insane

Hint hint contact jwyong001 for upgrade. Mine works fine with honeycomb. Yeah I needed to buy a USB to USB to upgrade my Viewpad. As I sad its a decent pad nothing to shout abt. Im using HTC nexus one amoled screen and that is sharp compared to this Viewpad but I can live with it coz I bought it rm699 :-) hope this answers ur question.
I alien : I bought titanium backup app to move most of my apps to sd. After having over 160 apps + system apps my rom memory is still abt 120mb :-)
