ViewSonic Shows Off MB-P702 PMP, Claims It Isn’t a Tablet

The tablet craze is upon us thanks to the success of Apple’s iPad. Due to this craze, just about eery hardware manufacturer in the book has come forth to announce their own offerings. ViewSonic, in particular, has came forth in the past to show us their own iPad alternative with devices like the ViewPad 7.
Today, however, the company has shown us a device that they claim isn’t a tablet at all but instead a PMP/e-reader. This device, dubbed the MB-P702, features a 7-inch display with an 800 x 480 resolution, 1080p HD video playback thanks to an HDMI-out port and teh ability to play back and display a whole slew of video, audio and eBook formats.
Curious as to what these formats may be? According to our source they are as follows:
Video
RM, RMVB, AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, VOB and other video formats together withAudio
MP3, WMA, APE and FLAC Lossless in audio.Ebook
PDF, TXT, EPUB, CHM, HTML, PDB and UMD
ViewSonic even tells us that you’ll be able to annotate PDF files straight from the device. Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a price or release date but chances are it won’t be priced anywhere near comparable tablets considering, well, it’s not a tablet.
