ViewSonic VPC08 hands-on
January 22, 2010
Our friends at Cloned in China managed to get their hands on the ViewSonic VPC08 which was released sometime last year, and that MID/cellphone hybrid is just not something you would want whether everything else in your gadget collection is thin and slim. Underneath the hood, you will find an Intel Atom Z500 800MHz processor, alongside a MTK 6235 chipset that caters for the phone system. Apart from that, your eyes will be treated to a 4.3" display at 800 × 480 resolution for Windows XP aims, and a 2" 240 × 320 resolution display meant for the phone system. Internal storage is provided via an 8GB SSD, while you get Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera and EV-DO 3G radio support. Would you fork out $700 for something like that? It seems to us as though it is occupying no man's land, and we hope to see future iterations that are sleeker whether it were to move more units in the market.

While it will retail for $440 thereabouts after conversion, there is no mention of the VTablet 101 hitting the US market. Hmm, ebook readers and tablets are walking an extremely tight line where their functions tend to blur with one another as more players enter the market.

December 14, 2009
ViewSonic is entering the crowded Netbook market with the VNB102, a ViewBook that resemble offerings from other grades. The specifications are standard: Atom 1.6Ghz, 160GB hdd, 10" 1024x600 display, Win7 Starter, 2.4lbs. There's nothing out of the ordinary about it. The VNB1002 will be priced at $399 (MSRP), but note that similarly configured Netbooks can be bought at street prices starting from $320 (source: newegg). What do you think? Is that too little, too late? In your opinion, should ViewSonic enter that market differently?
