ViewSonic Throwing it’s Hat Into Android Tablet Fray

Due out in late November, priced at 9, the ViewPad 7 runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with 512Mb of integrated memory and a microSD slot for your own supply. The device pulls the internet down over Wi-Fi (b/g), but includes 3G capabilities if you want to supply your own SIM

No word on any carrier picking up the above unit as of yet though. The above mentioned tablet also sports a 7 inch screen. Not a bad price point for a 2.2 tablet, we will be watching it with interest.

The second offering from ViewSonic is actually a Windows 7 tablet that can dual boot into Android 1.6 called the ViewPad 10.  While it is pretty cool to have a dual boot device with Android on it, version 1.6 of the OS is nothing to cheer for at this point.  The unit has a 10.1 inch screen, with both front and rear facing cameras, multi touch screen, 16 SSD drive and a microSD expansion slot.  There will be no Market support for the unit, so there may not be much reason to jump out of the Windows partition on the unit into Android.  Pricing on the ViewPad 10 is 9.  More info as it comes in.
