ViewPad 7 and 10 by ViewSonic Coming to USA

ViewSonic’s heavy foray into the tablet market has been no secret, but we’ve been a bit uncertain as to where on the map its products would land. Until now that is. According to ViewSonic’s American team, the company will be kicking off its US tablet invasion with the ViewPad 7 in November. Just as we’d heard, the 7-inch device packs an Snapdragon processor, Android 2.2, two cameras (a 3 megapixel cam on its rear and a VGA front facing one), 512MB of memory and 3G capabilities. Sure, it sounds a heck of a lot like the rest of the other Android tablets we’ve been seeing, but according to ViewSonic this one will most definitely have access to the Google Market and come preloaded with Google’s apps. Well, that’s a horse of a different color, though its $479 MSRP seems a bit high to us.

What about the ViewSonic fans out there that have been eyeing the Android 1.6 / Win 7 dual-booting ViewPad 10, you ask? Well, they’ll have to wait until the first quarter of 2011 to get their hands on that one, though at least that gives ‘em time to save up the $629 that it’s expected to retail for. We should note here, that the View Pad 10 is identical in design to the Tega v2 we recently reviewed and similar in specs — it has a 1.66GHz Atom processor, 16GB SSD, 1GB of RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium. We’re still unsure where the 10-inch, Android 2.2 G-Tablet that was recently spotted in a Sears circular fits in, but we’re definitely getting the hint thatViewsonic’s in it to win it with tablets.

Download Adium 1.4 For MAC

Adium, the cross-protocol IM and communication client that’s basically a Mac-styled cousin to Lifehacker favorite Pidgin, is out in official 1.4 form. Along with lots of fixes and upgrades from the long-running betas, there’s Twitter and IRC support added here.

Adium does something interesting with Twitter in this release, integrating its message flow into IM-style protocol. Direct messages from contacts arrive as if they were IMs; removing a buddy from your Twitter list actually unfollows them from your account. You can change how often Adium looks for messages and how it handles your replies in the settings. Beyond that, Adium’s changed a whole lot of features and fixed a heck of a lot of bugs, listed in the changelog linked here.
