The E70 is 7-inch Android tablet that will ship in March, running Android Ice Cream Sandwich, the newest mobile OS from Google. It's powered by a 1-GHz single core processor. The screen resolution is only 800 x 480, but it costs just $169!

The ViewPad 10E is a 10-inch Android tablet, and like its smaller cousin, it's got just enough juice to make it a viable Android tablet. At $279, it is not a terrible deal. Its resolution is 1024 x 768, and it uses IPS technology for a wider viewing angle. But this tablet, which ships at the end of January, isn't running Android Ice Cream Sandwich yet.

The ViewPad 10E, like the E70, runs on a single-core processor. Both devices have mini-HDMI, micro and mini-USB and microSD ports, and 1.3-MP front-facing and 3-MP rear-facing cameras. It will cost $279.

Finally, the ViewPad 10pi is a 10-inch Windows tablet, which includes a Viewsonic user experience on top of the normal Windows user interface (you can jump to a regular Windows UI at any time). The product makes use of Swype for text input. This is a dual-boot machine: you can run either Windows or Android on it.

The hardware includes an IPS display at 1280 x 800 resolution, it uses the Intel Oak Trail processor, running at 1.6 GHz, and includes 2 GB of memory and 64 GB of SD storage. It includes the same dual cameras as its Android brethren. The cost: A whopping $849--the price for the "special" Oak Trail processor and extra storage. It will be available at the end of January.
