Viewpad 7x in Hands-On Video, Target Price: $449

Posted on 31 May 2011, Last updated on 31 May 2011 by

A tablet that has been getting a good proportion of the 7 inch Honeycomb news recently is the Viewpad 7x. It’s in the database here but our good friend Sascha of Netbooknews has just pinged us about a hands-on video he’s posted. He’s excited too!

Micro USB, Mini HDMI, Micro SD, Headphone ports are included with the 1024×600 display. Interestingly there’s a SPB Shell overlay. I wonder why? Is the demo actually running 2.3 instead of Honeycomb?

Pricing is looking ok with a target of $449-499 for a Wi-Fi version that should be available in early Q3 Sascha tells us.

The netbooknews article on the Viewpad 7x is here.

    Its certainly honeycomb from the on-screen home and back buttons, although using SPB shell is an odd choice, perhaps the honeycomb UI isn’t working well on 7″ tablet?

    I did read where another manufacturer was having problems with Honeycomb on their 7 inch pad as well. The article stated it was design for larger screens and not 7 inch screens. Why they overlooked smaller screen applications seems to be a big error.
