went below 40 bux with the online coupon. that was enough to make me buy it i think 36 dollars is not a bad price.almost half the normal dhgate price now all i have to do is wait....
[G Tablet Accessories] joedhimself:
not sure i need it, but.. I'm in for one too :)
[G Tablet Accessories] nicholas621:
Awesome price with the promo code =] . Thanks !
[G Tablet Accessories] Virtual Pariah:
Just ordered with the code.

Great deal and thanks for the tip.
[G Tablet Accessories] dezufnoC:
Love it....In for one also. Thanks for the coupon code. Gotta love a discount!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] joshua.lyon:
I believe its actually in celebration of boxing day which falls on Dec 26. I tried to post a link to the Wikipedia page, but I don't have a high enough post count.

Unless we are celebrating those red box movie machines outside grocery stores. ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] NNL:
So this works with the G Tablet? Just have to be sure...
[G Tablet Accessories] elitepsycho:
yea its been reviewed on the forums already only thing thats spotty is the ethernet port it depends on the firmware your using zpad v2.x clean rom it works because its basicly the same os as the product the dock is made for. i saw in a post that most of the dev's ordered a dock and should be working on a fix for their version of android also. everything else works out of the box hdmi usb and power. this is the Malata Zpad t2 dock made for the malata zpad i think we have just a re-branded zpad with less ram and no 3g
[G Tablet Accessories] HKChad:
$36, that's a no brain'er, only $6 more than the dock for my droid...
[G Tablet Accessories] tdegenaro:
That's 17 units I count ordered here alone - (18) with mine ;) I'd have to wonder if they'd even stock that many of a relatively obscure device. I also wonder if they see 18 orders with the same coupon code in a very short window (most of which were not previously on their mailing list) they will have a problem. Guess we'll see. However, I suspect some of us many be waiting a long time while they restock from China.
[G Tablet Accessories] Sprdtyf350:
Most of the stuff I have ordered from Merimobiles comes from somewhere in China. I don't think they likely have them in there shop. They are just acting as a middle man to place the orders. Never had a problem with them though..
[G Tablet Accessories] clking:
In for one as well.
[G Tablet Accessories] bajan5026:
Excellent find! Just ordered one too for $36, thanks for the promo code!

This is what I call group buying :)
[G Tablet Accessories] tat2boy:
Good deal on this dock! Too bad I already ordered one through the other broup buy though.
[G Tablet Accessories] bnolsen:
I also threw in with this too. Shame they didn't put hdmi and an extra usb on board. Definitely will help using this unit for development.
[G Tablet Accessories] stormin:
In for one as well, great find on the coupon code.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
thanx, one on its way to my place.. yeee haaaa
[G Tablet Accessories] landude:
Just ordered one too.

Honestly I'm going to have to get another G-tab.

Since the wife got it in her hands yesteray I can't get near it..

She actually on XDA reading up on it, what did I create..
[G Tablet Accessories] drumdumb:
Awesome I have been waiting for a deal on this! Thanks guys!

Love this forum!
[G Tablet Accessories] zerozed99:
Ordered earlier today. Thanks for the heads-up!
[G Tablet Accessories] Longsh0t:
Would have loved to have an AC adapter included but a great buy regardless. Thanks for the heads up on the promo code!
[G Tablet Accessories] hitekredneck:
It does have an HDMI port. And if you want more USB, you can always plug a USB hub into that one USB port that's on board the dock.
[G Tablet Accessories] kevinb77:
I'm in for 1!
[G Tablet Accessories] Lord Norin:
In for one as well! Hopefully they ship promptly!
[G Tablet Accessories] JCFrancis:
In for one too, thanks for the info!!
[G Tablet Accessories] jaw6fl:
Thanks for that info and coupon code. Bought my dock today $36.00 what a deal.
[G Tablet Accessories] Acturbo:
How did you get it for $36 today? The coupon code comes up as expired when I try to use it. Did you by chance order yesterday?
[G Tablet Accessories] RoyD:
It was on sale for only one day 26th.

This comment around 11yI

I purchased mine @ 11pm est. Posted my thanks a few minutes later. I would guess that the time difference of you vs me expired the code on 27th... sorry.

Ps just noticed that my time stamp says 642am and posted my comment at 1142pm est. i believe that i need to fix my location settings in my xda profile.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
[REMOVED]....

[EDIT] sorry for taking up space. Had ONE dock left but think it's gone now
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:
Ordered mine yesterday, thanks for the post and coupon code, I was thinking you might be a lil ticked off Steve since this was less expensive then the ones you were selling but its nice to see you have already sold out of them;)
[G Tablet Accessories] chpimentelpr:
I just order mine today, didn't get the discount but still a good price and free shipping... :D
[G Tablet Accessories] biko213:
just received mind dock today but can't get HDMI to work I have TnT3.1.2 there is no setting in menu to select HDMI output, any help?

Edit: just had to plug dock to power, it work find won't work without power
[G Tablet Accessories] TeutonicWolf:
Thanks -- used the link and the promo code to also pick one up for $36 even...

Sweet Deal!

Thanks all around...
[G Tablet Accessories] tdegenaro:
When did you order it?
[G Tablet Accessories] ksporry:
Thanks for the tip on using external power. My TV detected it, as it coloured the PC entry (why PC entry instead of HDMI I don't know, maybe because it detects it's some sort of computing device...?), but wouldn't show anything. However, I didn't use the power adapter. Are there any options I need to switch on? I'm running TnT as well.
[G Tablet Accessories] insight3fl:
I got mine today. I do have the power supply connected and did not try to run HDMI without it. But upon plugging it in to my HD tv, it worked just fine. Output on the Gtab and the tv simultaniously and what seemed to be the same resolution as what was playing on the tablet including an HD 1080 trailer (MP4) of toystory. No special settings that I had to make. The usb port also worked with a usp 4gb stick. Though I had to plug it in a few times for it to be recognized in Estorng file manager.
[G Tablet Accessories] squirrel boy:
Ditto,:pordered mine today.....will be nice to have a dock for my pad:D
[G Tablet Accessories] Virtual Pariah:
Does the dock charge the Tablet?
[G Tablet Accessories] JoeMofknDot:
Yes it charges the tablet
[G Tablet Accessories] hitekredneck:
Just a heads up to everyone that ordered one of these docks from merimobile. These are free airmail shipping and the 14-21 days shipping is because they are being shipped from China. Wanted to let everyone know that because I think a lot of folks were thinking that they were coming from Canada.

If you follow the link in the order confirmation email, the shipping time explanation link, you can read it for yourselves.

Here's that link:

HDMI Malata Dock

Have you tried the setting to display just to the TV. I believe you select the display option in settings. Also, has anybody tested the sound output through the HDMI connection. You should be able to control the volume through your TV w/ the volume turned off on the GTab.

I would like to use the GTab w/ the docking station as an IPTV streaming device and HDMI movie player. Have you tried to play a movie file on the GTab from the docking USB port via a memory stick when the GTab is connected to an external HDMI TV?

With a wireless mouse (or even a bluetooth cell phone) one should be able to configure a channel selector when running LiveTV app and/or GoogleTV and/or HuLu.

Still rolling them out the door...

In for one. :D Even at this date, they are still shipping them. Discount code is no good anymore but as someone else said, even at $45, it's a deal. Beats the overseas site that wanted $70+ for them.
[G Tablet Accessories] ncaggie1989:
Thanks guys! Just purchased mine :) ,glad I did not spend the $70, Arghhh!
[G Tablet Accessories] GTablet:
OK... looks like enough of you have received your docks and do not feel you were ripped off so I guess I will take the plunge! I have just ordered mine... hope I have the same luck and get a good product too!
[G Tablet Accessories] kozmo2k4:
Just ordered mine!
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I was considering trying to get one via the Sears rebate. But I just checked the Sears web page, and that offer has been removed.

I just ordered one from Merrimobiles. I didn't really want to screw around with the rebate, since I didn't purchase mine during the stated time period.
[G Tablet Accessories] trp3383:
I have a dock coming to me. I ordered about 10 days ago. I took back my g-tab yesterday. So I will have a dock up for sale as soon as I get it. Pm me if intrested.
[G Tablet Accessories] RoyD:
Just receved tracking # from merimobiles I was beginning to wonder what was taking so long to ship.
[G Tablet Accessories] reynwrap582:
Same, finally got my tracking number today, expecting another 2 weeks until it gets here. The suction cup from my Garmin will have to continue to act as a stand-in until then.
[G Tablet Accessories] HKChad:
Yea, got mine this AM as well, ordered on 12/26...funny thing they sent me a DHL tracking number on 1/3 that was addressed to someone clear across the state, apparently they sent me the wrong tracking number, not having much faith in these merry mobile people at this point...
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
I also ordered on the 26th, and still don't have a tracking number.. Kinda peeved, but i'll wait the 14-21 days before i start getting angry.. hehe
[G Tablet Accessories] Sprdtyf350:
Angry won't get it delivered any faster:) I have ordered from them before.. They are ok.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
hehe, yeah i know, i'm really impatient.. I can understand long shipping times, but a tracking number would be nice, it's been what 8 business days ?
[G Tablet Accessories] Sprdtyf350:
I could send you my tracking number and we could both watch it:D
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
baaaah haha.. I'll pass at watchin' your package thanks.. hahahahahaha
[G Tablet Accessories] HKChad:
I'll give them 44 days, then I'm telling paypal it didn't work out and get my $$ back. Done it before w/ fly by night places, paypal's good for something, sometimes.
[G Tablet Accessories] shdwknt:
I ordered 2 from taobao.. cost me about $60 each after shipping.. but it was worth it.. got them both in.. my only complaint is that unless you have the power supply going to the dock.. none of the ports work.

Otherwise I love it.
[G Tablet Accessories] marcelvn:
Hi everyone.. Am I the only one who still havent received a tracking number??

Already sent them an email and did not even get a response..

I think i got scammed..
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
none for me either.. time to start getting annoyed .. thanks for reminding me
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
When did you guys order? I ordered mine on 1/5/11, and I am waiting for it to ship.
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
12/26/2010
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
Since these are reported to be shipped from Asia, and not Canada, I think that they are being drop-shipped. And I still think that they wait to get enough orders so that they can get a quantity discount from the supplier.
[G Tablet Accessories] marcelvn:
Did you get yours? I also ordered 12/26/2010 and still no word.. Credit card already charged..
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
Yeah, i get that.. However, on the link above it states the orders normally ship within 4 business days, and i should have a tracking number by the 4th business day. i'm waaaay past the 4th day, and i have no tracking number.. I will not be ordering from them again. I don't care if the holdup is because of a drop shipping issue, it's crappy customer service

see above
[G Tablet Accessories] Lord Norin:
Include me in the I order on 12/26 and still have not received a tracking # club as well!
[G Tablet Accessories] Bit Banger:
I also ordered 12/26, no shipping info yet. I sent email 2 days ago asking for update, nothing. When I look up my online order status it says "processing".:(
[G Tablet Accessories] Turbo4V:
Ordered mine on the 26th, and received it today, works great so far!!!!

Justin
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:
I don't. Like you no more :p j/k

Did you receive a tracking number ?
[G Tablet Accessories] crsboca:
I ordered on the 26th. I received email indicating it shipped on 1/5 and it included a tracking number. Tracking number is USPS # and status only indicates it was shipped from China. Hasn't arrived yet.
[G Tablet Accessories] elitepsycho:
same here. waiting hope it comes in today maybe :p
[G Tablet Accessories] Turbo4V:
Lol! No, never got a tracking number, just a shipping notification from China post with no tracking info.
[G Tablet Accessories] GreenHornet:
I ordered 12/26 as well and have not gotten a tracking number or anything else.
[G Tablet Accessories] Bit Banger:
Well I'm glad to see some of the people who I assume bought from merimobiles have received their merchandise. I'm beginning to wonder however since they don't respond to emails or pickup the phone! It sure wasn't hard to get their attention when it was time for them to get my money. So I think next week is going to be credit card charge-back time!
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Just wanted to chime in and let you know that I *may* be getting 20 more docks and ac adapters in next week. I had ten earlier this week but they only lasted 24 hours.

(should things not work out with merimobiles)
[G Tablet Accessories] RichTJ99:
How much are you selling them for?
[G Tablet Accessories] catttman:
I got mine today
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
Mine just came in the mail too!

I never got a shipped notice from Merrimobiles. Bad service on their side.
[G Tablet Accessories] hitekredneck:
Mine has been showing as shipped from China on Jan 5th with no tracking updates at all and today is the 16th!

I don't think I will be ordering anything else from merimobiles.
[G Tablet Accessories] Bit Banger:
Well merimobiles managed to dodge the charge back I was fixing to do on Monday. Today they got off their butts and sent tracking info.:rolleyes: I guess Sunday is their new work day because they don't pickup the phone or return emails Mon thru Fri! In any case it's a waiting game now, and I'm glad I'm only waiting out a $36 dock and not a $500 Malata tablet!:eek:
[G Tablet Accessories] wasserkapf:
I just got an email today from Merimobiles:

I received my dock yesterday, in the mail!! :p

Not Happy

ordered on 26th, no email tracking info and no dock yet. Sent email today, will post back with more info if i get any. :mad:
[G Tablet Accessories] jenjen:
Ordered mine on the 27th (missed the discount offer) but still thought it was worth it.

Only got order confirmation from them the same day, but no other word from them, so i mailed then last Saturday. No reply from merimobiles yet. Of course, I checked the homepage regarding my order through the my account pages, but status hasn't changed since I placed my order...

What gives?
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
I still have a couple left and I've been getting them out same day?
[G Tablet Accessories] aaron19953:

[G Tablet Accessories] GTablet:
I received mine from merimobiles a couple of days ago; I am on VEGAn B 5.1 with Clemsyn's KERNEL and have no way to enable the ethernet port to test that (however the lights do come on when I plug the cable in). Everything else seems to work; the only other thing I did notice is that with my usb mini keyboard plugged into the odc everything works fine until I let the tablet go into sleep mode for a little while. Then after I wake it up the keyboard no longer works. I know it is not the keyboard as I have had this for a while and typically have used it being plugged directly into the tablet with no issues after waking from sleep mode... so it does look like an issue with the dock or the tablet being able to wake the usb port on the dock after sleep mode.

I am guessing it is probably something with the rom or kernel that I am using...
[G Tablet Accessories] bnolsen:
I just got email today also. Tracking says it shipped out the 14th.
[G Tablet Accessories] life02:
mine came broken... sound like something was rattling inside... opened it up and the weight had broken away from the mounting and had disconnected the docking port ribbon cable. Reconnected and now it works fine. Just wanted to through this info out there if someone has similar issues.
[G Tablet Accessories] elitepsycho:
Just got my dock a few minutes ago. Im happy i could help some people get the dock also. Its great build quality and packaged well. About to have some fun with android on the big screen at 1080p now :D
[G Tablet Accessories] Sprdtyf350:
Be Patient!

Ordered 26th. Received today. Nice looking unit.

I have ordered from Merimobiles before and it went this same way. My stuff did show up, just takes a while. I had a problem with a power adapter for a 7" tablet I bought from them. They sent me a new one no problem. I think they are ok, sometimes hard to get a hold of, but do seem to care about there customers....
[G Tablet Accessories] jenjen:
Finally got an email from merimobiles that the unit has shipped. Wonder how long it will take to reach me, as I am in Japan now.

Thanks for the offer though.
[G Tablet Accessories] acuralegendz:

I feel your pain, ordered Dec 26th and still waiting.:(
[G Tablet Accessories] bajan5026:
I ordered on 12/26 and it arrived today 1/21. I am a happy camper now. With the screen in a fixed position the screen looks perfect. I suppose when the pad is handheld the viewing angles change and we see the solarizations et al that makes the screen look horrible. I suppose the same thing happens with a laptop or desktop.
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
Got mine today. Thanks it2steve.

My first attempt at booting the gTab when on the dock was weird. It booted up as expected then when it went into screen saver mode it did a full shut down. Then it took several attempts to reboot the gTab before it finally came back up. Like I said, weird. Since then it's been coming right up on each subsequent reboot.

I have two small nits (and they are nits) is I wish the dock had a little more angle on the backrest so that the gTab would be leaning back a bit more and that it would have also had a line out so that we could use external speakers off of the dock rather than using the headphone jack from the gTab. I supposed I could just use some bluetooth speakers and remedy that problem.

But when I'm using this dock (I am testing it out now) I'm sitting about 2 feet away from it and while its on my desk I have to lean back in my chair (slouch) to look at it almost head on. Otherwise if I sit up (to practice good posture) the screen is pretty washed out.

Like I said, its a nit so its not like I'm unhappy with the dock. Infact, I'm pretty pleased.

Thanks again it2steve.
[G Tablet Accessories] it2steve:
Wow, it really didn't take long for you to get that! I told you I'd ship the same day :) Glad it made it to you so fast. I too wish the angle was different but I learned to just keep i on a monitor stand and it works well for everyday use.

RUMOR is that I should be getting Docks, Cases (with clasp I think), ac adapters, and screen protectors next week. I'll be keeping the thread in the Marketplace updated as soon ans I know ANYTHING (even a tracking number)

Glad all is well.
[G Tablet Accessories] RoyD:
Just received dock this morning seems to be working. Wish it would angle tablet backward more for better viewing, have to angle by hand to see better.

Has anyone ordered a Malata Zpad T2 Docking Station off ebay? I see they sell there for $50. If so I would like to know if the vender followed through satisfactorily. It would be worth the couple extra bucks to me if they ship promptly.

Using the ethernet port yet?

Hi All,

I picked up one of these as well... I am running

VEGAn B5.1 with Clemsyn's KERNEL for VEGAN (latest build), has anyone been able to use the Ethernet port yet? If so can you share how you are able to do that so the rest of us can get full use out of our dock?

Thanks in advance!

I think vegan 5.1. With pershoots latest kernal works with ethernet port if you boot tab while docked

Dock Recieved

Just wanted to update those who are waiting on their Merimobiles shipment. For what it is worth, I pulled the trigger on the 17th (wanted to miss Chinese New Year's shut down) and received it today. No real acknowledgement from Merimobiles other than the order. But so cool! It is the same Malata dock with the rubber mounting strip. So far the HDMI works out to my LCD TV, the LAN lights power up (but I am running VeganTab b5.1 so can't test it), the USB appears to be working (but again no mouse support on my ROM). So overall pleased. It will have me purchasing a HDMI to digital converter for my projector. I now should be able to project a powerpoint with my mini-projector and the gtablet. A complete presentation package in under the size of a Harry Potter novel. I look forward to the HDMI cable but with an all day class, I'll need a power cord in any case.

Now I am waiting on my USB keyboard case and suction holder (also coming direct from China).

Ordered my dock from Merimobiles on December 30, 2010 and still waiting for delivery to Silicon Valley California. I received a tracking No. on 1/19/2011 stating that my order has shipped.

FWIW, I also ordered a mini bluetooth QWERTY keyboard w/ touchpad & leather case w/ USB keyboard from Ankaka.com (also located in China) on 1/6/2011 and only received notice that it has shipped. Not yet delivered either.
