A very active community of ROM developers are porting Honeycomb. On the current Gingerbread-based ROMs, gTablet curiously outperforms Xoom on benchmarks despite having 512 MB rather than 1 GB RAM. Also, people that took apart gTab noticed there's an empty RAM slot inside, no word yet on whether or not it's upgradeable...
Price has gone up to $280
Best bargain tablets:
Nook Color for 7" (L200/H250)
GTablet for 10.1" (L250/H275)
The screen is really, really bad, unlike the Nook Color which has a beautiful, well contrasted screen.
The screen is great - from its very limited viewing angle. It works for many because of how they use the tablet. It didn't work for me; I tried to like it. EVERYTHING else about this tablet is stellar (IMO) and if the screen can work for you, you'll have a fantastic tablet.
