ViewSonic ViewPad 7 Review
(VPAD7) Score: 40.5 / 100
ViewSonic ViewPad 7 is a modest Android portable tablet, coming with a fast processing unit speeding at 600 MHz, a comfortable 7-inches screen, and 2 cameras, a 3 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera.
Viewsonic ships this tablet with a quite powerful 600 MHz processing unit, bundled in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7227 chip with 512 MB of RAM. Helping with graphic intensive games and applications, it also has a 128 MHz Adreno 200 GPU.
The ViewSonic ViewPad 7 is quite heavyweight for a tablet this size, with a weight of 13.23 ounces. Viewsonic is offering this tablet in black color. Although this device is thin and comfortable it's not even close to being one of the thinnest portable tablets in the market, with a thickness of 0.45 inches. This device is a very compact tablet, taking into account that it has a 7 inches display and it's just 7.05 inches long.
The ViewSonic ViewPad 7 has two cameras, a 3 mega-pixels back camera and a 0.3 megapixels front camera.
This display uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
This tablet packs amassive 3240 mAh Li-Ion non-removable battery providing the ViewSonic ViewPad 7 an extremely long battery duration. An issue to evaluate is that the ViewSonic ViewPad 7's battery isn't replaceable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to last shorter, though with such a huge battery size you will probably buy a new tablet before that becomes an issue.
This tablet has wifi connection (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem) and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a SIM card to connect to GSM networks.
The ViewSonic ViewPad 7 also includes a handful of cool characteristics as Bluetooth (2.1, EDR) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and a few sensors likeLight Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
Viewsonic offers this tablet for 100 dollars, which is high for a tablet this level.
