It will ship with Windows 7 Professional and is capable of launching Android 2.2, but in virtualization mode only.

Its 3500mAh battery is rated for 4.5 hours of use when playing 1080p video showing marked power consumption improvements over the previous generation of Atom chips. It will run for up to 6 hours for lighter duties.


The Viewsonic ViewPad 7x’s 1024x600 7-inch LED display supports up to 10-point multi-touch input. It also packs an HSPA+ radio for 3.5G speeds and supports DLNA media sharing and SRW TruMedia.

ViewSonic ViewPad 10 dual-boot tablet moves to Android 2.2

viewsonic_viewpad10


ViewSonic today gave owners of its unusual ViewPad 10 dual-boot tablet an upgrade to Android 2.2. The hybrid is leaping from the aging 1.6 and now gets access to a much more recent web browser, voice search, and many apps that were previously off-limits. No mention was made of official Flash 10.2 support, although the Windows 7 boot doesn't have that issue.


Unlike most Android hardware, however, an update isn't available over the air or through a computer sync. The instructions (PDF) instead require that users load an image of the Android 2.2 install on a USB thumb drive, plug in a USB keyboard, and use a section of the BIOS to install the new firmware.


The tablet is still on sale and ships with a 1.66GHz Atom and 2GB of RAM as well as either a 16GB or 32GB SSD depending on whether it comes with Windows 7 in Home Premium or Professional trim. The two configurations ship for $599 and $679 each.

ViewSonic ViewPad 10 review

Introduction: ViewSonic still trying to get some traction on the tablet with Android Froyo 2.2 powered ViewPad 7, but the manufacturer famous for pushing forward with production shows latest creation – the 10 ViewPad. Now this is just a repetition of the 7 with screen larger ViewPad, Oh no, but is rather to be able to differentiate itself from most things out there, because this is dubbed as the "world's first" dual-boot Windows 7 and Android tablet. Taking into account aspects of ample productivity, cost $ 599, starting just 10, ViewSonic ViewPad may seem attractive enough so that they appear with several things.

Package includes:


Design:
Although the 7 ViewPad had neither hard or skimpy in design, it is only a 10 ViewPad obsolete elegant tablet. It is, quite frankly, in no way slim (0.80 "thick) in any way, especially when you factor in the netbook as elements, but monotonous and simple design approach is not conducive to be original. Course, cheap black plastic and somewhat false sense aluminium back cover complements the overall distasteful incarnation, but we do not medium-sized excavator it contributes "chunky" over other comparable Android tablets. In addition, just angled façade in particular do not sit too well by ergonomic – especially when we feel the sharp edges, pressing Palm against us, as we keep it.

The manufacturer also known among industry treats expertly create fabulous screens and monitors, we rather deeply to find a low calibre of 10 ViewPad. The screen size with a 10.1 "LCD with LED backlighting capacitive, is more than ample property, but the resolution 1024 x 600 pixel openly reveals appearance pixelated. Terrible way I easily lose focus from what is on the screen because the ridiculously bad viewing angles distorted colors slightly when you move away from a 90-degree angle. In addition, the total production of color separating the dull side – that really makes you wonder how ViewSonic yet is able to accept the appearance as tolerable.

Curiously, employs only a 1 ViewPad 10.3-front facing megapixel camera – which is mainly for conversation and Even portraits. Again, think very, and I wonder why they decided to skip a rear end.

Rarely seen in use today by multiple Android devices, is a breath of fresh air to see physical buttons on 10 ViewPad – located on the right edge. The more we accept their tactile response, we are totally at a loss for words when it comes to button assignment Android confusion. First and foremost give exclusive power to suppress the Android when pressed, if you want to restart or turn off the Tablet completely – and even worse, there is no way to turn off the display of any Android. Secondly, the Start button page will only get back to the homescreen if you can run a long type, while you press quickly emulate function "back". And as for the back button the same functions as the menu button on Android. Confused yet? We know, we are completely confused, however, by decision of the ViewSonic with its layout.


On the left side of the tablet, there is a ton of connectivity ports, strengthen capacity – including 2 x USB 2.0 ports, 3.5 mm jack for headphones, microphone, Mini-VGA port, microSD card slot and proprietary power jack. With respect to the above the spine, we find places for two speakers located near left edge, while the ventilation openings must be placed at the opposite areas surrounding bezel contains a sufficient heat dissipation for the tablet. However, there is still a significant amount of heat coming from the back of the Tablet after use in 30 minutes.
