Does G-tablet enjoy full access to Android market? What is this mess about ROM's all about?

Tap n' Tap has usability issues, although there is a rumor that Viewsonic is pushing out another update currently. You will not get access to the actual Android market without flashing a different ROM (basically, a layer on top of Android much the way Tap n' Tap is).

I may be joining you in that boat shortly. I have a shortlist working on backup tablets if this doesn't look like it's going to happen soon. Gtablet is pretty close to the top (with tnt lite of course.) Problem is for me, I WANT a 7 in tablet. I'm also seriously considering the nook color now that it's been rooted. Going to have to keep an eye on development on that in the next few days...might pocket the spare money and sell it to upgrade to a tegra when they finally start showing up. I'm just really disappointed in stream tv's complete lack of any news or updates regarding their product.

The answers given are good. The only thing I will add is that if you're buying a used one. I've found it simpler to load Android onto the tablet from scratch rather than try and figure out what someone else has loaded and what versions they tried to load.

The latest firmware upgrade includes access to Google Play. Unfortunately not all applications will load properly and you get the "incompatible device message" on few apps. Hopefully, the next firmware update will take care of this but don't hold your breath as B&N; basically is getting out of android tablet business and turning over future development to third parties.

Android has Kindle... yes, but its only available via the Android Market. This tablet will not have access to the market out of the box. It would need to be "hacked" to use the Market. Most uses won't have the time or care to do this.

Yeah its still Android. The only add ons are the tegra store and stylus software. Otherwise it's an unsullied Android that's fully upgradeable, so long as nvidia updates it, which they have.

You can check on their website, but I haven't found anything yet. It sounds like it'll be better to root the unit and add roms to improve performance. I'm still looking into that though. There's not a lot of info about this company or their products anywhere.

There aren't any Roms available for it. So currently no its not upgradeable. Doubtful that Samsung will update this to jellybean either

The regular Google Play store comes installed on this unit. You don't have to install it after the fact as with many 'from China' tablets. It works great, though Android 4 is incompatible with a few apps. Nothing major. I have All the apps I needed working fine.

You need to supply the tablet, the emulator, and the roms, but if you can get it to run on your device, and your device is compatible, it should work.

Hi no you don't it has Google store on the tablet so you shouldn't need anything else to be able to get games and what not.

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

It comes with the Google Android Marketplace out of the box, though some of the applications seem to be missing from it. 90% of what I was looking for though is there, and available both free and/or paid versions.

No , unfortunately , i was not satisfy , i bought but its very slow and you can not update it or downgrade OS , memory is limited to 512 , when you run whatsapp or tango or other applications the tablet will get very slow on startup and running.

If the question is "Does it work with Google Play" then the answer is yes, it is a fully functioning Android tablet that works with all Google services.
