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."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1297536972.usr20447.jpg" style="border: 0px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>It happens to me all the time.&nbsp; I am out on the road, working away on my Windows 7 tablet, and I think, "You know what would be great?&nbsp; If I could switch to Android and do my stuff through that OS for a while".&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It looks like ViewSonic has been read my mind!&nbsp; The ViewPad 10Pro.&nbsp; No more compromises!&nbsp; You get the best of both worlds.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; Dual boot tablets have been tried before, and companies are still trying to find a sweet spot.&nbsp; Maybe the ViewPad 10Pro will do just that.</p>
