The new ViewSonic ViewPad 10 with Android 2.2 OS, 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, 3G ready, front and rear cameras, brings the world to your fingertips. Ultra lightweight design, smooth edges, thin profile and intuitive controls fit right in your hand.  multi-touch screen instantly connects to more than 200,000 apps with Google Mobile Services.
This is one of the ceapest tablet gadget with a high perfomance and slim body.


Design

One of the ViewPad 10's bright points is its classy yet understated design. The rectangular tablet measures 10.8 x 6.7 inches and is only 0.57 inches thick. The tablet feels stable, but our hands quickly tired from supporting the device's 1.8 pounds.
The front of the tablet features a thick black bezel with a webcam and three status lights underneath glass. The glass is almost edge-to-edge, save for a black plastic panel on the right that houses the power and two function buttons, which behave differently based on whether you're using Android or Windows 7 (more on them later).


The back of the ViewPad 10 sports a brushed aluminum finish with two speakers on the top and bottom of the left side, a vent on the lower-right side, and "ViewSonic" etched in white in the center. We really like the premium feel of the brushed metal, but it's marred by too many product stickers. There are five in all: one with the ViewSonic model name, serial number, and voltage information; two for Windows 7; one for Intel; and our personal favorite, "Warranty Void If Seal Damage."
The left side of the device houses the power jack, microSD card slot, a mini VGA port, two full-size USB ports, a headphone jack, and a microphone. On the top you'll find a paperclip-required reset button (not a good sign) and a vent which roughly lines up with the vent on the bottom.

Display and Camera

The ViewPad 10's 10-inch LCD LED backlit display features a netbook-esque 1024 x 600 resolution. The picture looked clear but kicked back a lot of reflections. When we watched a parody video of an Angry Birds movie trailer, the ViewPad 10 was so reflective that we found it hard to make out the darker images. Likewise, while typing and working with the tablet while it was lying flat on a desk, we had to put our face almost directly over the display in order to see what we were doing. This made typing on the virtual keyboard in both Android and Windows 7 next to impossible with the device laying flat. Turning the brightness all the way up improved visibility.
The ViewPad 10 features a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. A call via Skype looked clear, though it was bit washed out.
