Does anyone have a ViewSonic ViewPad 7 ?

I've been wondering if I should get one of these tablets that runs Android 2.2.

It's not like i need one - I already have both an iPad 2 & 3, but I don't have any Android devices and this one seems like an okay Android pad to have a bit of fun with, but I'm wondering how performance with GLBasic is?

...and how is it - if anyone knows - compared to the Zixoon a71 tablet that Gernot gave away recently (which is even cheaper)?

Ignore Doris, that's a spambot.

That tablet is not capasative, one to avoid IMHO.

what is your price range?

I ended up ordering a Huawei MediaPad instead. At around £100 it was a bit more expensive than the other one, but it has a faster dualcore processor, more RAM, higher resolution (capacitive screen) - but still 7 inches, and a newer OS - Android 3.2 (upgradable to ICS 4.0 later this year).

I much better buy I think. :)

I haven't used it much yet, though. But enough to find out that it goes through the battery charge like there was no tomorrow. Even though I put it into "flightmode" when I stop using it. It's nowhere near as efficient as the iPad...but of course it doesn't cost anywhere that one. I like it though - nice size and pretty capable in the graphics department.

Sounds much better to me too.  =D

BTW thanks Ian. :)
