The latest big buzz on Android tablets has been the Samsung
Galaxy Tab, but there’s another tablet looking to grab some of that 7 inch marketspace: * the
Viewsonic ViewPad 7, which was recently shown off at IFA 2010 Berlin. *It may not have specs as impressive as the Galaxy Tab (slower processor and lower resolution), but the fact that it’s already running Froyo 2.2, and stock at that, is a comfort. *It even has Marketplace access. *Maybe manufactures are starting to listen to the consumer plea for vanilla Android.
What exactly does this mean? *Instead of waiting for a software update from the manufacturer, you will get your updates directly from Google as they are released. *Keep in mind, that although the ViewPad 7 has lower specs, it also means it will most likely be priced better then the competition. *Which is good for public consumption. *If you want something with more power,*there is also the
Viewsonic*ViewPad 100 coming out, which is a 10-incher with beefier specs, although it has only been seen running Android 1.6 so far.
Check out the hands on video of the ViewSonic ViewPad 7 below:
