WALNUT, Calif. – June 6, 2011 – ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of computing, consumer electronics and communications solutions, today expanded its tablet offerings with the launch of the ViewBook tablet line and new ViewBook 730.

Designed for the value seeker who doesn’t want to compromise on features, the ViewBook 730 makes it easy for anyone to make multimedia mobile. This Android^™ 2.2 OS tablet combines a fast and powerful ARM^® Cortex-A8 1Ghz processor with Wi-Fi^® and Bluetooth^®support in a convenient 7” form factor. Whether experiencing 1080p video playback via the HDMI connection, or engaging in video chat and conference calls using the integrated front VGA camera, the ViewBook 730 is the ideal tablet for staying connected and enjoying all the exciting possibilities of digital media content on the move.

With its RiteTouch technology, the ViewBook 730’s high-resolution 800×480 LED backlit screen serves as a great tool for pen writing.
