Viewsonic Rolls Out New 7 and 10 Inch Viewpad Tablets Stateside

1 Comment

Viewsonic has made a bold move to dethrone Apple’s iPad in the US market. The Taiwanese company announced late yesterday it would launch two new Viewpad tablets – that will maintain the Viewsonic logo – sometime between November of this year and the first quarter of 2011. And while first model in that new series, the Viewsonic 7, is claimed to run the Android 2.2 platform, preloaded with Google apps and full access to Google’s Market, the second, Viewsonic 10, will boast Microsoft’s Windows 7 Home Premium OS along with a 1.66GHz Atom processor, 16GB SSD, and 1GB of RAM on board. The latter has a 10-inch capacitive display and is expected to retail for $629 while the smaller one, which runs for $479, will likely house a 7-inch touchscreen, paired with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 512MB of RAM, dual cameras (rear and front), and 3G connectivity support. It’s going to be a long, hot winter for the tablet computer market. At the meantime, make sure you checkout the Full PR right after the break.

Update1: Oh look, isn’t it the new ViewPad 7 tablet? YES. And looks like it’s already up on sale at Amazon.com, priced a little more than we’ve expected – $599(!). Is that for real or another one of those ‘let the early adopters pay the price and then we’ll make it cheaper?’

Update2: We’re not so sure whether you’ll like it or not but here’s the deal: ViewSonic is now offering you a trade program – send in your old laptop or netbook and get up to £125 cash back when buying a new ViewPad tablet. What do you say?

Update3: Fellow US gadgeters, check this out: Office Depot’s retail stores are now offering Viewsonic’s 10-inch (1024 x 600) Android 2.2 G Tablet for $399 only. Remember, it’s a Tegra 2 device that can easily pump out 1080p videos on your tele. So make sure you check out the full PR after the break or the local store next to your house.

Gateway LT1004U Netbook Appears On Office Depot Shelves

2 Comments

It was just a matter of time until Gateway would join the netbooks pile, and today we’re glad to get a confirmation it already did, as a blackish 8.9-inch netbook, carrying the industrial name of LT1004U, was spotted on Office Depot in Redmond, WA with a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, Windows XP onboard and an Aspire One rebadge design. Speaking factually, it’s just another usual netbook, the kind we’ve already seen around, but there is something alluring about Gateway’s new toy after all, knowing it cost only $379.99, which clearly stretch the lower pricing borders of these devices. In any case, you can always jump to your local branch to get first-hand impression.
