I would recommend avoiding the Airpanel 100 for the time being. In 3 months, I've had 3 die on me. All had the same failure - the battery charging circuit. Wait until I know for sure that Viewsonic will repair them. Note: This is not the fault of the seller; the devices are simply old.

You should also avoid the v110 and v150 unless you feel up to hacking it. Go for the v205, v210, or v240 instead.

Also, the Viewpad 1000 runs Windows XP, unlike the Viewpad 100.
