This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the G-Tablet in the bargain bin, and most likely it wont be the last. For the price you actually get a pretty great device that has plenty of power to help keep things moving smooth. This is the ViewSonic G-Tablet and it was actually the first NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core tablet to hit the market here in the U.S. even though sadly it only runs Android 2.2 FroYo. Today it can be yours for just $239 at Woot.com
The last time we saw the G-Tablet on sale it was listed around $279 at most places, woot included. Even back in April it was $279 at Amazon and I’m sure a few snagged one to play with. It has huge developer support and even has been overclocked to 1.6 Ghz. It might not be a Touchpad for $99 dollars, or a Galaxy Tab 10.1 but for $239 it’s hard to argue.
For those that might not know this is a 10.1″ Android 2.2 Tablet although the screen resolution is only 1024×600 vs the 1280×800 seen on most Honeycomb slates. It does however come with the powerful NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core 1 Ghz processor, 512MB ram, 16GB internal storage, USB and micro SD support. You also get a front facing camera but no camera around back. The G-Tablet has plenty of developer support at XDA and many users run CM7 or the VegaN rom as those are most popular. Woot.com deals are one day at a time so you better hurry if you decide to buy.

Its running a very good beta of ICS now and it keeps getting better with every update. This is the fastest I’ve ever seen this tablet. There are bugs still being worked out but the devs on this project are incredible and the progress they have made so far is awesome. Slatedroid is the home of this rom
