 "CES 2011: ViewPad 10 and 7 Get Company - ViewPad 10S and ViewPad 4")
Viewsonic’s tablets, the ViewPad 10 and Viewpad 7 get two siblings - the ViewPad 10S and the ViewPad 4. The 10S might sound like a small update, but the new ViewPad gets 3G functionality and a massive processor upgrade - a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 250 processor to be precise. The new processor should be able to handle Flash content a lot better than the previous one.

The ViewPad 4 on the other hand only has a 4.1-inch display, supporting a 480p resolution. The processor on it will be a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM 8255 and it’ll also support 802.11b/g WiFi. The tablet will include a 5MP camera which can record 720p video content that can be outputted to a high-definition display using the built-in HDMI port. We aren’t sure what the point of such a small tablet is. It’s bound to have an identity crisis at some point - “am I a phone or am I a tablet?”
There’s no word on the pricing yet, but we’ll let you know once we get our hands on any information.
Our resident Hardware Ninja, Rossi, lives for speed - by uhh riding his bicycle. He's Tech2's utility man, dividing his time between cameras, software and intense bouts of Quake III. He's also a fan of all things obscure, case in point, Live for Speed (sic). Never heard of it? We rest our case. In his spare time he tries to teach our new joinees the tricks of the trade even though the blood sweat and tears, but give him a camera and all things forgotten.
