Pictures of ViewSonic's Android Tablet Hit

ViewSonic's ViewPad isn't anyone's most anticipated Android slate, but after these photos came to Pocket-Lint from a mysterious "inside man". There are currently two ViewSonic tablets expected; one with a 7" display and another with a 10" an Intel processor and Windows dual-boot.

Either way, this slate will pack 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, a front-facing camera and a microSD slot. It doesn't look quite as thin as the iPad, but we'll need to see one in human hands (or see a spec sheet) before we know for sure. Either way, it's a solid design that takes no risk and makes no major errors. That won't be enough to steal Apple's crown, but it might be able to snatch a sizable following if it hits before the Adam and other highly-anticipated tablets.
