ViewSonic Tablet to Dual-boot Windows 7 & Android 1.6

ViewSonic Tablet to Dual-boot Windows 7 & Android 1.6: "


ViewSonic today announced the specification details on their ViewPad 100. The device will run both Windows 7 and the older 1.6 version of Android. This is very disappointing news for the tablet.


It will be a very powerful tablet if you look down the hardware specification list:



  • 10-inch screen (1024 x 600)

  • Intel Atom N455 1.66Ghz

  • 1GB of DDR3 RAM

  • 16GB SSD

  • Wi-Fi

  • Bluetooth

  • G-sensor

  • A-GPS

  • 2 USB ports

  • MiniVGA and microSD card slot

  • 1.3MP webcam


All of that points towards a device very capable of running not only 2.2, but 3.0 and beyond! It still confuses me why a company would want to release a tablet with an OS that doesn’t run Flash. Especially when it could if they wanted it to. Of course for your Flash needs you could boot into Windows 7 with this device, but doesn’t that make the Android side of the device seem a bit obsolete?
