Not buying into all the hype of the Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet but still interested in a tablet? Well, we're giving away an alternative to those two 7-inch models, the Viewsonic 7e, which actually has several features that the Kindle and Nook are missing--and this one comes in white.
Here are some of the key specs of the Viewsonic 7e:
  • Screen: 800x600-pixel, 7-inch screen (4:3 aspect ratio)
  • Processor: 1GHz single core (Samsung Cortex)
  • RAM: 512MB
  • Internal memory: 4GB
  • Memory expansion slot: supports up to 32GB microSD cards
  • OS: Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
  • Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
  • Built-in microphone
  • Dual cameras: Rear: 3 MP autofocus/Front: 0.3 MP
  • Video output: Micro-HDMI out
  • Kindle Appstore for Android included for app downloads (you can download Kindle for Android but not Nook for Android)
The Viewsonic 7e normally costs $170, but you have a chance to get it for free.
