ViewSonic ViewPad 7 Review

ViewSonic ViewPad 7 is cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and rightly so as it can't really compete with it on any other point. The 7-inch screen is a nice size, but other than that it fails to present the user with a pleasant experience as far as resolution and viewing angles go. Sadly, this makes the ViewSonic ViewPad 7 pretty uncomfortable for watching movies or simply using the tablet in certain positions. That said, the ViewPad 7 is still a nice touchscreen device to surf the web on the go with. If you're in the market for an alternative, the obvious contender would be the Samsung Galaxy Tab, with the same form factor, but better specs across the board. Slightly less obvious, the Dell Streak offers a 5" screen which has greater pixel density and better viewing angles.
