Back in November Viewsonic announced that the first Android and Windows 7 dual boot tablet would launching in Q1 2011 and that day is now here. Starting from just $599 you too can pick up this awesome tablet. The tablet features a 1.6 Ghz Atom processor, 2gb of RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, a 1.3 megapixel camera and a much demanded microSD card slot. The size of the storage medium depends of the the type of Windows 7 you buy with it. Windows 7 Home Premium comes with a 16gb SSD and costs $599 while Windows 7 Professional comes with a 32gb SSD and costs $679. The only apparent let down of the tablet is that it is powered by the ancient Android 1.6 (Donut) which we hope is upgradable soon.

First of all you should know that this is strictly a dev-kit, So don’t expect this to hit your local Walmart anytime soon. The ODRIOD-A reference platform is being developed by Korean maker Hardkernel and is powered by Samsung’s Exynos 4210 (Cortex-A9 dual-core) processors. The monster tablet features a 10-inch 1366 x 768 display, TWO MicroSD cart slots, a USB 2.0 port, HDMI port, HSDPA+ modem, a huge 9000 mAH battery dual cameras on front and rear and a fully transparent real panel which looks epic. The tablet is set to cost only $750, How? We don’t know. Check out the hands on video after the break.

Well that’s not all, Those apps also installed some offending packages which Google seemingly removed used it’s own backdoor exploit the “Android Market Security Tool March 2011″. The application would also send you an email to report what it has done.

So Samsung just released some information regarding their new PMP player. The Galaxy Player 70 will sport a 5-Inch 800 x 400 resolution display, the screen will most probably be SAMOLED+ (Super AMOLED plus). The device will be running on Android 2.2 and is said to be powered by some really powerful hardware.

The massive device is currently only available in Korea but we expect it to be available all over the world in a few weeks.
