ViewSonic ViewPad 10Pro hands-on

We promised to dig up ViewSonic’s dual-booting Windows 7 and Android 2.2 ViewPad 10Pro tablet when we got to Barcelona, and here we are delivering on our word. We just got a chance to check out the 10.1-inch slate and we have to say hardware-wise, we’re dealing with typical ViewSonic quality — the 1024 x 600-resolution, capacitive screen isn’t exactly high quality (horizontal viewing angles were pretty bad) and the build was mediocre at best. However, software-wise we have to say the 10Pro is pretty interesting — the Intel Atom Oak Trail -powered slab boots Windows 7 Home Premium, but is running Android 2.2 on top. Unlike the first ViewPad 10 , you don’t have to reboot the device to switch between Android and Windows as the Google OS is running as a virtualization. No word on the pricing of this one, but it should be hitting the market this May. Hit the break for a quick look at the relatively-quick Android / Windows hand-off.
