Powered by the latest Google Android 2.2 operating system, work, lifestyle and entertainment needs are met in an amazing all-in-one tablet device with access to over 200,000 applications.

Ritchie Djamhur, IT Buyer at Bing Lee, said, “Bing Lee is pleased to bring the ViewSonic ViewPad to its customers. We see the ViewPad as a definite contender in the fast rising tablet category, with many other vendors releasing offerings. In particular, Android devices are boosting its share of tablet PCs as it is cost effective, just as intuitive and easy to navigate. Many apps are being ported to multiple platforms, so it is getting easier to find applications appearing on both the Android Marketplace and the Apple iTunes App Store.”

Andrew Whiting, National Merchandise Manager at Harris Technology, said, “Harris Technology is committed to providing leading technology products and we’re delighted to make the ViewSonic ViewPad available to our customers. We cater predominantly to small-to-medium businesses and early adopters and the ViewPad 10 is an ideal product for this segment. It represents an optimised mobile experience with Google Android or the familiar Microsoft Windows for dynamic business users demanding high end requirements.”
