64GB ViewSonic 10.1" ViewPad 10pi Wi-Fi-enabled Windows 7 Pro Tablet $292, or Windows 7 Ready Tablet (no Win 7 Installed) $149.50

No, GPS is built in w/this tablet, that's the beauty of it!

Well, thanks. I guess I have something more to do over the weekend.

Make sure you update GPS driver thru Windows update after installing the driver from the Viewsonic CD. Viewsonic driver works too, but new one seems to be better, faster cold fix.

Thanks. Great to know. As I said before, I always have patience in dealing with new "toys". I can not believe I was talked out by those nay sayers on that Sunday when the deal was posted. Think about it, its original price tag is at $850, but for sale for 80% off? I just can not believe what those nay sayers were thinking! I am fortunate enough to get one a couple days later.

Funny part is, they were trashing the thread/product while quietly aguiring the tablets and then they had a spirit to come back to the thread and brag about this.

Took the advice of others in this thread and popped windows 8 on this tablet. Can't believe I was about to settle for 7. Windows 8 runs as well as I need, and I'm not having any of the issues others mentioned in this thread, except one... The top 1 centimeter of my screen does not consistently respond. Using a touchscreen visualizer I can see there's a space between the very top (essentially the top row of pixels) and about a cm down that does not always respond to keypresses. Frustrating because that's a pretty important part of the screen... Anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty sure this was happening under windows 7 also, so I'm guessing it's a hardware issue. If it's a matter of tightening a cable, and someone can tell me which one, I'll crack this thing open tonight.



Are you seriously still trolling this thread? Wow. I really don't understand you.

Got Ubuntu 10.04.1 to install with a little help from this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareS...rdsPoulsbo

I am still unable to get it to boot without needing to restart lightdm. From initial experience it works well, but the network card keeps going in and out. It doesn't drop but it slows down to basically not working.

Busy running an update now (though slowly because of the network card issue), might try finding a USB network card to see if that works better.

Confirmed, GPS works fine in Win8, using Turbo GPS app.
Now I am happy
