Here is an announcement I saw somewhere, I think on Sept. 1."Secondly, there's the ViewSonic ViewPad 7x that's sporting a 7" 1024 x 600 display, dual-core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, front & rear facing cameras, Honeycomb, 8GB of internal storage, and ViewSonic's very own 3D ViewScene user interface. Even though there's no official launch date, it's believed to come at the end of the month for the price of €349 ($499

I believe she is talking about upgrading the software to android (which now that hp has released an update to, some people don't find it to be an upgrade at all). She could also be talking about several software modifications that can speed up the touchpad.

I saw the gold version up yesterday for an hour or so available for pre-order then it went away. I'm waiting for the grey one to be put up. This will be my first tablet and I'm pretty excited about it.

So I guess one can make calls with the Viewpad 7 but not receive data, if I understand you correctly. I am new at this, hence my checking on it! Thanks!!

Chinaman, you are the man! You always have great comments and reviews and tips. I read them everywhere, but here you made me really happy, because I've been waiting for the 4G version for long time now. I so cannot wait to get my TouchPad. :-) Maybe it will come out just perfectly for my birthday on the 12th :-)

I wouldn't look to see windows 8 out until october at the earliest, but most likely the end of the year. And as rancher says, you can always install windows 8 when it is released, which is what I plan to do. I haven't seen any tablet on the horizon that rivals this one, so if windows 8 is your only hold back, don't let that detour you.

I'm happy to wait on my pre order, 1080p in a 13.3" chromebook at this price....worth the wait. If you can afford it, the Chromebook pixel has been out.

Been using a N52 for years, but it's on its last legs. Still not released. I've been looking forward to this for a while, but was hoping it'd be out by X-mas. :(

In my opinion support for Skype will happen more likely through the modded custom ROMs, like Vegan and Cyanogen 7 adaptions, not looking for much joy from Viewsonic support.BTW, I LOVE my gTab. So much that I just bought one for son for birthday. Didn't plan to spend that much, but loved it enough to want to see others enjoy it too. Plus, his a-hole boss bought an iPad for another employee and wanted son to brandish his superior tab for less than half the cost!

It's been a little while since the last post. So I thought I'd update it. There is now a CM9 alpha 2.0 release for the HP Touchpad. I am currently running it and I think it's PERFECTION! I held off on the CM7 since it wasn't really designed for tablets, but CM9 is terrific. It isn't fool proof or for the complete tech novice. But I'm certainly no expert and completely new to Android, but there are great sites that do step by step instructions that are pretty easy to follow. Just google HP Touchpad CM9 alpha 2. I followed the instructions on lilliputing.com...

They will release it in mid July 2013. Stay tuned for the release date announcement.

I was wondering that myself. I pre-ordered this one about a month ago (at that time it was a ridiculous $319.99) and I'm trying to be patient as I wait. I e-mailed them, noting that Vizio had them available now, and they said there is no known release date for Amazon. If anyone knows when it will be available it'd certainly help ease my anticipation

It's probably best to wait a few months. Hopefully ASUS does a redesign on the dock, it's junk and not a tight fit like my old TF201 w/dock.

Hi John, thanks. i'm close to buying this. Are you happy with your purchase? I heard the trackpad is not as responsive so now leaning towards the Toshiba T115.

According to Lenovo on their chat line (Nov 23rd) there is no release date yet for the 7-inch. The 9 inch is available.

I am definitely looking toward the x10. Viewfinder, manual zoom, unique sensor geometry. It's almost perfect on paper and the sample images look great.
