ViewSonic VSD220 Smart Display with Android 4.0

With the arrival of Windows 8 we will begin to see more and more touch screens. But not the only system ready, because Android is one of the main protagonists of these devices. Well ViewSonic has thought and has launched its new ViewSonic VSD220 Display.
At first glance it might seem a normal monitor, maybe an AIO (all-in-one) due to its thickness above normal. The reality is that ViewSonic VSD220 monitor is a small computer with a touchscreen and Android 4.0 built factory. It is based on a processor TI OMAP 4428 dual core 4 to 1 GHz, 1 GB LPDDR2 memory and 8 GB of internal storage, Ethernet, Wifi, microSD, microHDMI, and some USB and microUSB. In principle it is sufficient hardware to run Android 'Ice Cream Sandwich'.

ViewSonic VSD220 monitor is pretty average as though you have a FullHD resolution (1920 × 1080 pixels) and is tactile. One negative note is because it only has one video input microHDMI (and an HDMI to microHDMI), although in principle be enough to connect it to a modern computer that has Windows 8 and utilize their touch capabilities.

Available soon, ViewSonic VSD220 will go on sale in mid-October and for now only in the U.S., where will be priced at $ 399. From talking ViewSonic Android system as casual, quick loading and highlighting its basic functions but sufficient for many times. It's like having one of those USB skewers with Android but already built into the television, saving space and factory already prepared.
