And another tablet computer is out to persuade you from getting an iPad. Though Apple’s awaited tablet computer isn’t out yet, other computer manufacturers are trying to show that theirs is better than the expected-to-be-successful iPad.
This iiView ViewPad (if there isn’t a lot of the word “view” there) tablet PC has a 10.2″ touch screen up front with a 1024×600 resolution. It has an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor and runs on Windows 7 Starter. It has four models all able to connect to internet via WiFi or ethernet connection and two models has additional 3G capability. Other components include 3 USB ports, card reader, VGA jack, microphone input, and audio output. As said earlier, four models come with different specifications. First model is priced at $499, comes with the features mentioned without 3G and with 160GB hard drive and 1GB RAM. Second model is priced at $599, still has no 3G connectivity option but with 320GB hard drive space and 2GB RAM. Third model has the hard drive space and memory of the first model but with 3G connectivity for $599. Lastly, the fourth model follows that of the second model in terms of hard drive and memory plus 3G connectivity for $699.
It is indeed light at 2.15lbs with battery already. However, the battery is one thing that I don’t like with the device. It can only last for 2-3 hours much like a regular notebook and you have to buy an optional battery to reach 8 hours of computing time.
Just wait and see for this device to reach your local computer store and judge which tablet computer you will get.

Both a7330D and a7230XD specialize in skills where traditional tablet notebooks haven’t gone before. First is the usage of an Intel Atom z530P processor offering long battery life, allows smaller construction while still offering computer power enough to run applications to maximize productivity.
