Viewsonic getting into the tablet game

October 25th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

Tablets are getting more and more competitive these days. It seems like when Apple puts their foot into something everyone wants to step on their feet with something better and most will say none have been able to do it. Well this tablet will not do it either but it will give people an affordable option. It looks as if View Sonic is rolling out a $200 ViewPad 7e Android tablet. This will only give you Android 2.3 and not Honeycomb but for the price specs are decent 1GHz ARM A8 processor, dual cameras, a “RiteTouch” 7-inch capacitive display, 4GB of storage with a microSD card slot for expansion, and HDMI output. As is often the case with low-end tablets, however, one key omission is official support for the Android Market, but you do at least get access to Amazon’s Appstore, as well as plenty of pre-loaded apps including Twitter, Kindle, and TuneIn Radio.
