I am blown away by how incredible Hoenycomb looks running on my gTab. I detailed my comments in a technical article available at The Bishop of Techology’s site.
Take a look at this iPad killer.

Fly through TSA security
Traveling with my laptop and my iPhone always slows me at TSA going through Atlanta Hartsfield Airport. I have to take the laptop out and put it in a separate bin. I always worry about dropping it. By the time I get my shoes off I realize I have two bins, a backpack and luggage I am managing. So, I wondered if I could replace the laptop with my gTab?
Read my recent column discussing this issue on the tech review over at “The Biship of Technology“.
Kindle versus Nook software for the gTablet
I have been using my Viewsonic gTablet for about a month now. In the first 30 minutes I owned it I flashed a new Rom and have a fully functional Android tablet.
One of the primary missions of getting a tablet was to replace my stack of books with something I could take with me. I travel a lot and having access to different topics was important to me. Primarily I read news via RSS feeds so I do not subscribe to magazines. I do, however, read huge amounts of literature. Thus, the original quest was to buy a Nook or Kindle. With the gTab I have the best of all worlds and much more at my fingertips. Continue reading…
My new Tablet Computer
My wife gave me a great new tablet computer for father’s day. Check it out here. I think this thing is an iPad killer, but it is horribly lame with the software installed from Viewsonic. When I first turned it on I was blown away – the regular Android software was running. Then a firmware update took place and I was left with Viewsonic’s “Touch n Tap.” I had already decided I was going to “root” the device and flash a new Rom. There are choices: TNT, Cyanogenmod, CreativeEyes, Mountain Laurel and the list goes on.
Feeling good, but nervous I prepped for the flashing upon arrival. This web site – www.raywaldo.com taught me everything I needed to know. There are several steps:
1) Determine your firmware
2) Install ClockworkMod
3) Flash the new OS
It took me less than 30 minutes.
Coming from the iPhone world I have had some other challenges. What apps to install? How does this thing work? Etc.
I did the following:
1) Installed the equivalent from the Android Market of apps I use on my iPhone
2) I installed Adobe Acrobat
3) I went with Documents to Go for Droid so I could truly edit word documents
4) I found some SQL Server console programs
5) I installed Angrybirds – of course!
6) I got a live desktop that looks like a fish tank – WOW!
7) My Kindle account is installed
I discovered I have 5 screens with which to work and am continuing to navigate. I will share more as I do more, but wanted to document my experience.
