    Its interesting to compare the differences between the viewpad-10.htm and the viewpad-7.htm web pages.

    Mainly, the Viewpad-7 page states the battery capacity and claims a battery life of 4-6 hours of heavy, continuous use. The Viewpad-10 page does not mention the battery or the battery life.

    Also, the Viewpad-10 has a multi-lingual user guide .pdf available. The viewpad-7 only has a spec sheet. Have fun noticing the other differences :)

      The limitation has more to do with availability of Andorid on x86.
