ok viewsonic has 2 of these tablets that look exactly the same and same price, One runs android 2.2, the other one dual boots windows 7 home premium and android 1.6. this one also has a dual core intel atom 1.6 ghz processor, 1 gb ram and 16 gb storage.

Possible to flash the windows 7 one with newer version of android like 2.2 or higher? Already has 1.6 on it
First, Kmart's listing my be incorrect. I think it could just be a g-tablet mistakenly labled as the Viewsonic's dual boot device. Much like Sears had on their sight originally.
Second, I believe its a single core Intel Atom processor.
Thirdly, Officially Intel X86 processors don't support anything over Android 1.6. There is project by a group of developers that are working on getting 2.2 to run on X86 processors. I don't know much about the effort so you will have to do a search.
Lastly, realize that a tablet running on an intel processor will get much less battey life that one running on ARM processors.
That's about all I can tell you. Hope it helped some.
That ad is incorrect. The listing and price is for a G-Tablet, but the product description below is for the Viewpad 10, which sells for well over $500 and does run W7 and Android 1.6.
The G-Tablet is ARM, Viewpad is Atom (x86).
I don't think there is an easily usable x86-friendly ROM with 2.2 yet. Read all about it here:http://www.android-x86.org/
They are not the same; you should specially take a look at the processor.
Gtablet has a tegra 250 that give a great power with a low energy consumption(Nut it wont run windows until the drivers are written)
The other one has an atom processor. Good speed and power but has a bigger energy consumption(around 3 or 4 hours with a single charge if lucky) and is able to run windows.
I would highly recommend Tegra 250 tablet just because it gives a much better tablet experience and the opportunity to upgrade to honeycomb.
A friend of mine locally came across the same ad for K Mart. went down to the store saw the device, asked questions, then went to purchase. when they wanted to charge him 599.00 he (with a smile) pulled a copy of the ad from his pocket and exclaimed "that's not what the ad says". They honored the price for him and he is less than pleased. I was able to test drive it for 30 min, and did not like it one bit.
The dual boot slows it down way too much, touch interface is less than responsive.
We tried 2 times to get it to flash and was unsuccessful in doing so. He is considering taking it back for a refund and buying the 2.2 droid version from Office Depot.
So if you MUST have W7 on ur Tab for whatever reason...this is not the device you want. My suggestion would be to wait for the ASUS tabs running W7 when they are released. STAY away from the VS dual boot G Tab.
Just my 2 cents.
The upcoming Viewpad 10Pro will dual boot between Windows and Android 2.2 and you don't have to reboot to switch from one to the other.

I'm not a fan of the Atom processor. My netbook has one and its GPU is very weak. It struggles with flash files. That is why I went with the gTablet with the Tegra2 its a very strong processor. Now with all that said no I can't load windows 7 and will most likely never be able to because of the processor instructions (ARM) are not compatible with windows 7 maybe windows 8 down the road. With that said I am not willing to sacrifice performance just to load a weak windows 7. I understand of course that you might have needs for windows we all do but I will find work arounds.

I don't believe it is a true dual boot as they even say that Android 2.2 is running via a virtualization.
It's tough to find ANY info in this, almost no reviews eventhough it looks like this came out about a year ago. whats interesting is that it uses a processor i havent seen really used at all, intel celeron j1850 which supposedly is faster than a tegra 4. also this has expandable ram up to 8gbs. i wonder if the 500gb HD can be replaced too. possible to maybe install windows on this?

you can buy this for $249 right now on ebay
Before we start this off, I just want to say I understand a lot of Android devices have an ARM processor in them. Mine has an Intel Atom.
I have the Dell Venue 8 tablet with the Intel Atom processor in it. Through doing research, I've found the Dell Venue 8 pro has a slightly better version of the same processor I have. So, it got me wondering if my tablet could run Windows on it as well. I've done a lot of research, but came up dry for Android devices that don't have an ARM processor in it. So, with the assumption that the specs are compatible, my question is this: is it possible to make my tablet, and others like mine, dual boot Android and Windows, if you could break the boot loader into installing it? I know you can dual boot Android and Windows on a PC and the Venue 8 pro, and a few other devices, including smart phones. The second part is would it be legal, with the purchase of a license key, to run it on this device? I don't see why it would be illegal, but ive never used a portable version of Windows, so I'm not sure.
What do you think, is it possible or a foolish man's dream?
I saw a few Intel Z8300 Cherry Trail tablets have factory dual boot Windows 10 and Android, so I bought one.
Turns out mine isn't dual boot, but Windows 10 only (my mistake)
However, these cheap (supposedly manufactured in Germany but features a "made in china" on the back) chinese tablets all seem to have pretty much the same specs.
And Cherry Trail processor are obviously able to run dual boots of windows and Android.
Do you think it could work out flashing Cube iWork10, Chuwi, or Telcast' tablets dual boot android image on this phone?
Another possible route could be flashing Android-x86, though this processor is supposedly x64. But it runs a regular Windows 10 x86.
Does this make any sense?
i think the same way.
i have a glx w11. there's many device similar it.
this is glx w11 details that shares by someone else:

Please help. I also have z8300.
So if anyone has dealt with ordering phones from ali-baba express..you know its like wish. So I took a gamble for ****s and giggles and ordered what I was sure of was a fake s21+ultra. Its a 6.4 inch screen a quad core arm processer. I downloaded cpu-z to it to verify what processor and how much ram and storage it has. I learned its running android 6.0 and not 10. I learned that its a quad core processor with mali gpu. It does have 512gigs of storage! And the camera is half decent. But I want to see about running android 10 or 11 on it. Any suggestions with that hardware .. as to what rom and boot loader to mess with? I have never done this before but I am down to experience.
