ViewSonic's V350 dual-SIM droid hits the stores in June

ViewSonic V350 was announced back in February at the MWC, but it's just only now that it's ready to hit the shelves. The dual-SIM droid, capable of running on two different 3G networks, has been redesigned since February though.

We already met with the V350 in Barcelona. It was a good looking fella running on Android OS, even if it came with specs that are mid-range at best - a 600MHz processor, a 3.5-inch HVGA capacitive display, 512MB RAM, a 5 megapixel snapper with WVGA video recording and the usual connectivity stuff.

The most interesting thing about the Froyo running V350 is the support for 3G network on both SIM cards. This means you can have both SIMs connected to a (different) 3G network.

While the hardware will remain the same inside, ViewSonic has slightly redesigned the panel. As you can see the shell has lost the rounded edges, the back looks different too, but the front is pretty much the same.

There is still no official info on the pricing of the smartphone of if it will eventually get updated to Gingerbread. We guess the details should be revealed soon, though.

Viewsonic G Tablet gets firmware update with Flash, USB peripheral support

Viewsonic's G Tablet may not have made much of splash when it debuted last fall, but it's certainly been picking up a bit of steam as of late. A recent price drop brought its cost down to just $280, and hackers have even managed to overclock its processor to 1.4GHz and get it running CyanogenMod 7 to boot. Now Viewsonic itself has given the tablet a further boost, with a new firmware update bringing support for both Flash and USB peripherals, which can apparently also be used with a docking station. The update's of the over-the-air variety, and should be waiting for you if you haven't turned on your G Tablet in the past few days.

Up close with the ViewSonic V350, an Android smartphone with dual-SIM support

During Mobile World Congress we met up with ViewSonic to check out the V350, an Android powered smartphone that has support for using two SIM cards at once.

The V350 runs Android 2.2 Froyo and offers a 3.5-inch HVGA touchscreen display. It also has a 5MP camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, and a microSD card slot for adding storage.

The V350's dual-SIM feature could be useful for those who want to share a single device with two phone numbers, or for frequent travelers that find themselves between two wireless networks often.

ViewSonic has not yet announcing pricing or availability for the V350, but we'll keep you updated when it does.
