Viewsonic ViewPad 10?

[compaqman]

So I don't know if any of you are very familiar with this sorta new tablet, but It runs windows 7 and I really like that, so what I'm asking, is do you think it would be as good as it looks, or am I just getting excited over nothing? I know the past year has been a tablet frenzy, But I think this one may actually be useful, I just want to know what you think, Is it worth buying now, or should I wait 6 months?

Always best to look for reviews online. I'm gonna do some research and see what I can find.

EDIT: CNET gave it a rating of 2-1/2 stars (PCMag only gave it 2), saying it's sluggish and the Android OS is stuck at 2.2, and doesn't have an Android Marker (though you could probably use a tweak to get one on there).

You can get a far better tablet for the same or less money. If you're looking for a good one, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer is a good one to look into.

if u want a REAL idea of what it can do go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and find the section for that tablet.

See how it performs after rooting it.

Example: the Viewsonic G-tablet sucks in stock form, with a root upgrading the android OS it becomes a Xoom killer
