[olug] Viewsonic Gtablet

[Brady Cox]

A guy at work got one.  Until he flashed it with another version of
Android, it was pretty much useless.  The crappy bloatware they added
to Android literally would make the unit unusable within 5 minutes.

I couldn't stand the screen, the viewing angle is about 1 degree and
it made my head hurt after about 5 seconds.

I can't imagine why Viewsonic would want to put their name on
something that has such a horrible screen.  While I know that this is
just a rebranded Chinese model, most of the world does not.
