ViewPad 7 Android Tablet Hands On at Taiwan Launch Event

http://www.netbooknews.com At the launch event in Taipei Viewsonic showed off a nice shiny slab of tablet with a multi-touch capacitive display with plenty of ports on the sides - headphone, mini USB, SIM and MicroSD memory card slots, 2 buttons and stereo speakers. 3.2MP webcam on the rear towards the middle,top and a VGA webcam on the front. What makes today's look see of the Viewpad 7 is the price that its coming to market here in Taiwan. First lets take a look at the Samsung GalaxyTab which will be retailing for 25,900NT ($850). That's a pretty penny higher then the $599 its going for in the US. Now the ViewPad 7 will be retailing for 14,900NT ($490) That's a $10,000NT or $360 difference in price. For Taiwan the choice at the moment is clear, the ViewPad 7 gives you way more value for your dollar.
