Default One Tablet OS is not Enough

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/...ws-7-android-d/

"Moving on, there's a highly intriguing new tablet in the waiting -- the ViewPad 10Pro. This 10-incher (shown after the break) is a "professional" slate with dual-boot functionality, enabling users to tap into Android 2.2 or Windows 7 Professional at their leisure."

It happens to me all the time.  I am out on the road, working away on my Windows 7 tablet, and I think, "You know what would be great?  If I could switch to Android and do my stuff through that OS for a while".    It looks like ViewSonic has been read my mind!  The ViewPad 10Pro.  No more compromises!  You get the best of both worlds.  I only hope that in Android mode, there are some more tangible benefits than just having access to some Froyo goodness like extended battery life.  Dual boot tablets have been tried before, and companies are still trying to find a sweet spot.  Maybe the ViewPad 10Pro will do just that.
