The folks at XDA Developers have successfully rooted the Viewsonic Viewpad 7 Android Tablet with SuperOneClick rooting app. Rooting lets you root access to your device for installing apps and to flash custom ROMS. Here is how to root Viewsonic Viewpad 7 using SuperOneClick.
- Download SuperOneClick 1.6.5 from here.
- Navigate to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development ->enable USB Debugging on your device.
- Now, connect your Viewpad to the computer via USB.
- Launch the SuperOneClick exe file and select the “rageagainstthecage” button and click on “Root”.
- Wait for the process to be completed and if nothing happens for more than 30 seconds and still displays “Running rageagainstthecage…”, then disconnect your device and reconnect it again.
- SuperOneClick will display a message saying “***IF IT KEEPS LOOPING, TRY DISABLING USB DEBUGGING NOW***”. Ignore it.
- It will be followed by an ADB reset, waiting for device message , and finally a successful rooting message.
- Verify that the rooting process has been completed and you are done!

I rooted mine with Gingerbreak. Yes, I know it's a Froyo device, but Gingerbreak did the job direct on the device. Easy and painless. Just install and run Gingerbreak, run it and reboot. It's been a few weeks now, no problems.
Once it's rooted, use Link2SD to free up internal memory and turn this hopelessly cramped device into a very usable little tablet. Close to 200 apps installed and no more low memory warnings. The other must have app is Titanium backup.

The first time you run an app that needs superuser priveliges, su will ask you to accept or deny. You only have to do this once per app.
