Latest ViewSonic ViewPad 10, a dual-booting Windows 7 / Android 1.6 tablet

ViewSonic ViewPad 10 is a tablet with two operating systems, Windows 7 and Android 1.6, organised in a dual-boot configuration on an Intel x86 processor platform.

Under its pretty design is hidden an Intel Atom N455 at 1.66GHz, single-core model with HyperThreading Technology, 2GB RAM and a 16GB SSD for hosting the two operating systems.

Fortunately, the limited capacity of internal memory can be extended only with microSD memory card slot, or resorting to external storage devices connected via USB 2.0. On the media side we have a mini-HDMI connector, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a 1.3 MP webcam for video conferencing applications.

At first impression, ViewSonic ViewPad 10 seems to run smoothly on both operating systems, despite using only a single-core processor. ViewSonic ViewPad 10 uses a NVIDIA Tegra 2 platform and runs on Android 2.2 with a custom user interface.

The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 is expected to launch within the next month, with a retail price of $599 for the one with 16GB, while the 32GB model will be available for $679.
