So I was trawling the FCC for leads, as us bloggers are wont to do, and seem to have stumbled upon an upcoming 7″ ViewSonic Android tablet:
ViewBook 730 is a portable entertainment center with: Internet access, a game station, an e-book reader, and much more. This versatile touch screen tablet runs the Android™ operating system, enabling you to easily install thousands of cool applications from the Web
It’s probably safe to assume the ViewBook runs Android 2.1 or 2.2, versus Honeycomb. And, interestingly, ViewSonic seems to be pushing this as a “E-Book Display” via the bundled ZiiAcademy software. Yet at this size and potential price ($318) the soon-to-be-updated $250 Barnes & Noble Nook may be a better proposition. Then again, the VB730 looks to offer more of a full fledged tablet experience, akin to the Samsung Galaxy Tab or Dell Streak, including a front-facing camera and HDMI output.
