Viewsonic will introduce the Viewpad 7x, a new 7-inch Honeycomb tablet, at Computex. This will be the first 7-inch tablet with Honeycomb. It will have a Tegra 2 dual-core processor and HSPA+ connectivity. It is expected to weigh in at 380 grams. Pricing information is unavailable.

For those of you that are into tablets, having a 7-inch Honeycomb is a nice option. Many people like the 7-inch form factor, but I am not sure people are more likely to leave their house with it. It is also a little concerning that the Viewpad 7x has a rather large bezel so how compact will this be?

Phones are coming out over 4 inches that you can put in your pocket. I still keep asking myself why everyone feels the need to pay a premium for a little more screen size, especially if its only for home. In my opinion, if you are going to spend the money on a tablet, you might as well go 10-inch.

7 inches is a good choice because 10 is too large and require a lot effort to carry, a small pouch is enough for carrying 7. In term of usability, you can hold 7 one handed.

Using Galaxy Tab for a while, it replaced my phone and up until now I dont see ‘any’ need or benefit of 10.
