Now this is a pre-Honeycomb tablet that I can sink my teeth into. Onkyo just let loose the TA117; it will come in two OS models: Windows and Android.
The specifications on this device are fairly impressive, given what we’ve been working with so far in the tablet department:
- NVIDIA Tegra 250 1GHz processor
- WiFi
- Bluetooth 2.1
- microSD slot
- 2x USB slots
- HDMI out
- Front facing camera
- 512MB DDR2 RAM
- 8 or 16GB of internal storage
- 10.1″ display
- FroYo
There is no mention of price and for now it looks like Onkyo will only be offering this beauty in Japan.

If I bat my eyes pathetically enough, will Onkyo offer it stateside? Or at least send me one to ‘review’?
Does this not look like the G Tablet from Viewsonic? Even the Specs look about the same?????
pretty much identical to the Viewsonic G Tablet then? Not seeing much difference, and the photo looks the same.
this looks/specs pretty much the same as the Viewsonic G Tablet, it even looks identical in every way…
Sorry Onkyo…stick with A/V Receivers! I dont want a Denon o Yamaha tablet. These stupid, stupid companies need to stop making tablets just for the hell of it.
I better not see a damn Frigidaire Tablet or a Maytag Tablet. Stick with what you do best, NOT flooding the market!
The picture is showing the Viewsonic gTablet
Juicy.
“I better not see a damn Frigidaire Tablet or a Maytag Tablet.” LMAO. I hear Tonka has a Jr. Tablet in the making in a joint venture with Lego.

lol…I wasnt sure if this was the same Onkyo that made A/V receivers. (I got one by them btw…one or some of the HDMI ports crapped out on me…)
.
Yea…we appreciate you wanting to try something different….but stick to what you know..focus on making better A/V receivers…
Tablets r 4 teh gheyz. Buy an effin lappy.

Fuuuu-u-u-ugly!
Why does anyone want a huge and heavy 10″ tablet? Netbooks are about the same size, weight, are far more useful, less expensive, and available now, everywhere.
“Tablets r 4 teh gheyz. Buy an effin lappy.” couldnt have said it better. HAHAHA
This is hilarious. I heard Home Depot is coming out with a tablet too so they could join the tablet bandwagon. LMAO
I dont see a point in buying any but if I was and i liked apple I would buy a ipad since I dont like Apple I would go with Samsung or something similar. Notion Ink does look very promising I have to say
Like everyone else, to me this looks just like another. Rebranding of the Viewsonic G Tablet. (Which is much better since the last update which allows you to boot into stock rather than the tap-n-suck interface.
Viewsonic really blew it with the custom interface & poor marketing, because as you point out here the specs are great, but even though the have begun to fix their mistakes, nobody seems to be giving them a second thought.
I don’t think tablets are gay.
Onkyo makes great receivers jroc, I have had one from them for 10 years now and it’s still going strong. You, however, need to work on your grammar, … is Morse Code for S, it’s generally not used in sentences ;)
Why Japan only?
I might actually bite on this…..
