Hi Folks,
I'm a relatively new owner of a Gateway Tab TP A60W... wondering if there's any other Gateway tab users out there or am I alone? I know the company has certainly given me that impression. Gateway does not list the product on their site, nor in their e-mail support form options. Only under driver downloads is there any mention of the device.
After reading various reviews on the device (after the fact sadly, impulse buy after getting a refund at Futureshop), I found all of them were incorrect and most appeared to be based off of 2 things: the product listing on the futureshop website (which contained incorrect information, specifically the Honeycomb version shipped with the device is 3.0.1 not 3.1), or based it on the Acer Iconia early reviews.
Starting to wonder if I made a mistake with this device and should at least swap for the Acer where I know what I'm getting. Even the google custom search shows "client=ms-android-acer" in the title bar, and the user manual references my new "packard bell" device. While yes I realize the 3 companies are all owned by the same group, one would think that at the least they'd make sure the branding was correct when visible to a user.
Am I alone out there? Any other gateway tab users? Maybe had better luck at support/information than me? Or should I accept my lumps and come to the acknowledgement that I am simply carrying a re-branded Acer Iconia 500?
