Apple's iPad, Dell's Streak and Samsung Galaxy Tab have been the highlights of 2010. But today we are trying to evaluate ViewSonic's ViewPad 7, which marked the closure of the calendar year. Let us see whether it has been able to withstand the tough market competition.
It surely carries a surprise element being a 7-inch tablet that doubles as a phone. This Android tablet has a SIM card slot for voice and data, which can be referred as “V” factor (voive). ViewPad 7 has an 800 x 480 capacitive touchscreen, a 3-mega pixel camera at the back, a 0.3-mega pixel camera in front and a mini-USB jack.
As far as its in-built storage is concerned, it offers 512MB but expandable storage of 32GB through a MicroSD card slot. This legitimate contender among 7-inch tablets is a solid alternative to the pricier, carrier-locked products available in the market. Its lightweight design, smooth edges, thin profile and intuitive controls makes it fit in your hand. The ViewPad 7 lets you get instantly updated on world events, chat with friends, and connect with the digital world, anywhere, anytime.
