ViewSonic ViewPad 10Pro has Android and Windows 7 – not a dual boot though

Back in February, we were informed of several new devices ViewSonic had up its’ sleeves for tablet devices in 2011. One of which we heard of was the ViewPad 10Pro, which upon early specs, looked to be a dual-booting Android and Windows 7 Pro tablet device. Cool right? Well, not as cool as we had heard, but still nice enough.
At Computex 2011, ViewSonic not only announced its ViewPad 7x, but alsoi the new ViewPad 10Pro which will come with Windows 7 Pro, and Android (looks like Android 2.2 Froyo in the pics), but Android will be accessed by a virtualization program called Bluestacks, which turns Android into a Windows app and runs it in a virtual environment rather than being a true dual-boot. Ah, well, it’s still pretty cool. On top of that, it’s got a 1.5GHz Intel Oak Trail processor, 32GB onboard storage expandable by MicroSD and USB and 3G built-in. Let us know what you think!
