ViewSonic’s ViewPad 7x, the 7-inch Android tablet that was announced back in May, is heading to Europe where it will be available for 350 EUR, which is pretty affordable by Europe’s standards (gadgets cost much less in the U.S.). That money gets you a device that’s pretty comparable with the Acer Iconia Tab A100, rocking NVidia’s Tegra 2 dual-core processor, Android 3.2 and a 1024×600 pixels, 10-point multi-touch display. In addition, it also comes with dual cameras (one on the back and a front-facing one), Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and other “standard for an Android tablet” goodies.
The bad news is that we’ve no idea when exactly ViewSonic will start selling its baby. We do hope that will happen sooner rather than later. What’s more, we hope to see other OEMs launching their own 7-inch tablets, like the Asus MeMO and Huawei MediaPad. I’m quite confident I’m not the only one looking for a “smaller than 10-inch” tablet. It’s so much easier to carry around…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
