PCWorld: ViewSonic Enters The Tablet PC Race
The new tablet PC products from ViewSonic are due out early December (the ViewPad 7, the Android model) and early 2011 (the dual-boot model). The ViewPad 7 will be priced at $479.
“ViewSonic is jumping into the tablet game. Although the company is best known for its monitors, a tablet isn’t a huge stretch–after all, ViewSonic is used to dealing with displays, and it also puts out netbooks under its brand. The latter is a key reason why the company’s dual-operating-system, 10-inch tablet comes as less of a surprise.
Details on the new tablets remain a bit sparse, in spite of the fact that one of them–the ViewPad 7–is due out in late November or early December, in time for holiday shoppers willing to drop about $479 (street) on an Android tablet.”
