It ain’t Honeycomb – heck it ain’t even Gingerbread – but the Viewsonic Viewpad 10 update to Android 2.2 will certainly be welcomed by everyone who owns the device. The upgrade also makes the Viewpad 10 instantly more attractive to potential buyers as the device was previously running Android 1.6. Don’t forget this bad boy is capable of dual booting Windows 7. Thankfully they didn’t have to upgrade from Windows 3.1.
Current devices running Android 1.6 are small in numbers due to the evolution of Android and robots aren’t immune to Darwin’s Theory: either they should update and adapt or die. I’m glad to see Viewsonic make the huge update to Android 2.2. While it isn’t Android 3.0, it shows the manufacturer is committed to continually improving their devices. Better late than never.
Any Viewsonic owners out there intrigued by this update? Feel free to organize in our Viewsonic Tablet Forum and maybe one of these days we’ll see them freezing up Ice Cream Sandwiches.
I actually saw someone with one of these just today!
I have one and it is pretty awsome, I have windows7, ubuntu, and android installed on it. Also on androidtablets.net i wrote a tutorial on how to put google apps on it.
Here are the instructions and link to the official update: http://android.rs/2011/05/03/viewsonic-viewpad-10-update-za-android-2-2/

Nice concept, I like the dual boot. I can then do Netflix on this. Any thorough reviews out there on this device?
