ViewSonic ViewPad 10
$630.00
Released January, 2011
The Pros:Dual boots - runs both Windows 7 and Android. Was recently upgraded from the aging Android 1.6 to the later 2.2. Slick minimalist design - edge to edge glass, metal back.
The Cons:Atom powered - poor battery life efficiency, lacks the horsepower required to run Windows smoothly. Windows 7 is a desktop operating system - poor for tablet use. Poor value - can't compete on the level of similarly priced tablets.
The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 is an Android 1.6 / Windows 7 dual-boot tablet released in early 2011. Featured is a 10.1” multi-touch touchscreen display, a 1.66GHz Intel Atom processor, 1GB of onboard storage, and 16GB of SSD storage.

Plus there’s a 1.3MP camera with a microphone, WiFi-ONLY connectivity, and what is expected to be an under-performing battery, what with the backlit LED display offering an extra-high 1024x600 resolution. In general, the device is geared for viewing Flash-based content and using Office programs while in Windows 7, and accessing smartphone-like, optimized entertainment services (Google Mobile Services, VoIP, instant messaging, etc) while on Android. Some critics have noticed that the ViewPad holds a striking resemble to the TegaTech’s Tega v2.
