Viewsonic has introduced its 7in Android 2.2-based tablet [1], as expected. It claimed the gadget is a world first - thanks to the device's "phone functionality".
Dubbed the ViewPad 7, the tablet's full specs have still to be published, but Viewsonic [2] did say the device will sport front (0.3Mp) and rear (3Mp) cameras; have Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth connectivity; assisted GPS; and Micro SD storage.
The company confirmed the 3G link enables text and multimedia messaging, plus VoIP and "standard voice calls".
Alas, Viewsonic hasn't specified the ViewPad 7's screen resolution - at 7in, 800 x 480 seems most likely, but we'll see.
Viewsonic did say that the device will ship in October for £350. ®
