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.

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 :-)

Benny888 if money is not a concern by all means get galaxy. I would too :-) if u just wanna look for a cheap but functional decent tablet then this maybe one of the option :-)

I alien titanium backups ur apps and ability to move most apps to SD. But ur phone need to be rooted. Worth getting if u like me want to hv many apps :-)

I just bought this viewpad 10s at 699 3g + wifi add rm80 for 16gb as 32gb they sell for rm250 which is ridiculous at 3 times more of 16gb and 3% credit card charge. My comment on this is the shop's employees are ok except for the 1 bigger built guy ( suppose is the owner) who has the kind of "I know everything" attitude. Bought it for my 10 yr old daughter as xmas. Conclusion - cant access google android market, too sensitive touchscreen, viewing angles and design but at 699 cant complain much. The 7 inch has call capability thats why its at 799.
Now I would like to seek advise on how to upgrade to honeycomb by rooting ( complete guide pls as I'm no expert on this ). void warranty is ok. Read somewhere in the net that said ram can be upgraded to 2gb. Is it true? Oh, bal memory as new is about 250mb thereof.

Anyone, pls welcome to comment. Thank you.

yeah I agree with u on the "I know everything" guy. He has some attitude problem and not very helpful. I felt they are not very straight forward with their answers. they will just say yes to anything just to close sales even it does not exists. maybe biz too good non stop customer walking in. I made them install android mkt for me but I later upgraded to honeycomb.

hi.

originally wanted to buy huawei mediapad but too expensive for her age (3 years old). she still dont know how to be more responsible to her toys. so i'm thinking of buying this for her instead.

is this tablet stable enough to use? how about the screen? i read that it is too sensitive. will upgrading to honeycomb helps with the screen/perfomance/stability?

if this tablet good enough to play basic games and play downloaded youtube videos (flv and avi) that is ok already. i've tried a couple of cheap tablets but all was very unstable.

cheers
*
Yes very stable aft upgrade to honeycomb. Almost all hd games very smooth. Games like angry bird no problem at all. Sure it gets hang once a while but all seems well. YouTube all very smooth.

Firstly, many thx to jwyong001 for yr offer n guidance. Bookmaarked you. Been very busy lately until last monday. Been fiddling around with the tablet and i seemed to have issues connecting usb drives into pad. Nothing shows up and even the drives has no light flashes. Checked thru astro file or file manager showed nothing as well. Any1 experiencing this? Thought of trying out for movies playback via usb drive. Why cant this pad connect directly to tv via hdmi instead of a docking station which is unnecessary and cant find it here except overseas.
Oh YES, honeycomb is recommended. I"ve upgraded it myself.

ask jwyong001 for the proper steps to use ur USB thumb drive. u must execute a few procedures in order to.work. jwyong0001 taught me the steps and I'm able to.retrieve info fr my USB thumb drive smile.gif
