Live Videos.
The live videos were recoded from a UStream stream, hence the lower quality. The live review lasted over 3 hours and we recorded 4 sections of the session.
Part 1 – Unboxing, overview and hardware
Part 2 – Screen, Wifi problem! (User error. See Part 3 for proof!)
Part 3 – Screen, Video, Speakers, Browsing, YouTube
Part 4 – Music, Gaming, Ebooks and more

Great stuff Chippy.
I think it’s made it pretty clear that my choice of the Tab of the Viewpad was the right one, despite the cash difference.
That should say ‘over the Viewpad’
Hey Steve,
What’s the firmware for the unit you have? Thanks.

Hope that help!
Can’t play flash ! The cheap price then has no meaning
7″ size is no good. Ir is too much for smarphone and too small for tablet. Ipad ia a real size for a tablet. CPU is nothing. Viewpad is 100% time&money wasting!!!!!!!!!
andrew, your comment is absolutely incomprehensible and adds no value. But thank you for taking the time to let us all know your opinion is worthless.
7″ is a great comprimise between useability and portability.
The CPU for this device is fine up to a point, but if like me, you visit sites with embedded flash, then you will be dissappointed.
Also if you wish to use this device to watch movies, again it is somewhat lacking in its facility to handle all formats and more importantly higher resolution videos.
I have had this device a week now, and whilst it has many redeeming features, I will be taking it back and getting an Archos 7o which loses out on GPS and Sim card, but gains on flash, HDMI, USB, memory, form, Video…. and is £100 cheaper.
Super review by the way chaps
Don’t overlook the fact that an identical version of this device, the Commtiva N700, is available for £299. It includes a 4Gb SDHC card and a 30 day trial version of CoPilot sat nav software.
Don’t know if it differs on the Viewsonic, but the standard keyboard on the Commtiva is fine, even for some quite intensive typing.
