ViewSonic has unveiled the ViewPad 10pro, a business-focused tablet that runs both Microsoft's Windows 7 and Google's Android operating system.
The 10pro, which runs on a 1.5GHz Intel Atom Z670 processor, uses Windows 7 as its primary OS. If an Android icon is tapped, Android 2.3 Gingerbread pops up as an application running on top of Microsoft's system.
"We listened to our customers," ViewSonic business development vice president Michael Holstein said in a statement on Monday. "We made the ViewPad 10pro dual OS interface as quick and intuitive as possible, while partnering with industry CPU leader Intel to deliver the latest in design and innovation across all fronts."
ViewSonic is pitching the Windows 7 functionality as being for "business productivity", and Android for "ultimate entertainment".
