ViewSonic ViewPad 10 Runs OSX?

Posted by | 03/08/2011 | 3 Comments

The ViewSonic ViewPad press release crossed the wires today with a photo that shows the device running OSX. The tablet runs a pair of operating systems, but OSX isn’t one of them. Perhaps the company’s graphic artist was being a bit lazy and figured any screen capture would do and simply took a shot of what was on his screen.

ViewSonic replaced the image with the one we used in our mention of the device earlier today.

We haven’t seen an OSX tablet since the days of the Modbook, which is apparently still available for order.

    Wow, talk about lazy! Hopefully he or she has been suitably disciplined.

    Ha! I actually skipped this image because I didn’t recognize the screen shot and chose that other one for my write-up. Didn’t realize it was Mac OS X though.

    well that tablet sure has enough power to run it i had it on mine but there were some issues you must use USB mouse and keyboard the touchscreen does not work which sucks and there was no sound and card reader did also not work. but it runs it very smooth and no problems but with this issues not worth unless you find a Mac OS X version that supports pen input witch is what windows 7 uses on this tablet but until then not worth if most stuff don’t work
