ViewSonic has just made their ViewPad 7 tablet official, days before IFA mind you, and it's got a pretty decent spec sheet. It starts off pretty good with a 7-inch display (480 x 800 resolution), phone capabilities, front and back-facing cameras, 3G connectivity, a SIM card slot, and Android 2.2 "Froyo". But that's where it all goes downhill. Apparently, this tablet will just be a rebranded OlivePad VT100. That means this tablet will feature a 600MHz ARM CPU. Fortunately, this tablet is said to cost no more than £350 ($543 USD) in the UK; review units should be available in October so maybe a launch would follow a couple of days / weeks after that.
