ViewSonic has once again tweaked its Android tablet range, revealing that its new 7″ model that will go on sale in “late September” for a European price of €349. Which is about £310 at today’s exchange rate.
The previously announced ViewPad 7x will now launch with Android 3.2 onboard, while ViewSonic is making a big deal of using “injection moulding” to offer an oddly rounded, extra-durable case design. Here’s a fairly poor photograph that is the best we can currently locate:
This image comes from the ViewSonic UK site, so we’re not entirely sure why it has Pocket-Lint branding all over it. The ViewPad 7x is a Tegra 2 powered device, with a 1024×600 resolution, 10-point multi-touch screen.
It has dual cameras, plus ViewSonic is pre-loading the full version of the LogMein Ignition remote desktop management app.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.

Is it just me, or do Viewsonic’s tablets always seem slightly underpar? The only one that I can think of which is any good is the Viewsonic GTablet, which we don’t even have in Britain…then again, we have the Advent Vega, which I guess is good enough.
