Vizio's first entry into the tablet space is unique in its own ways. First off, it has an 8-inch screen, which is very rare in today's tablet market. Second, it doesn't run Android Honeycomb, the tablet-optimized version of the OS, but rather Gingerbread, a release designed for phones. On top of that though sits Vizio's own custom interface. Oh, and the tablet comes with an infrared port and can act as a remote control to 95% of the electronics currently available in the US market. So an interesting proposition, surely, and not just another run of the mill Android tablet then.
If Vizio's asking price of $379.99 for its tablet seems too high for you, you're in luck. The tablet is now also available for pre-order at Amazon, and the well known retailer has priced it at just $349.99. So that's $30 that you can instantly save just by getting it from Amazon. A pretty neat deal for a device that isn't even available yet. Amazon doesn't say when it will start shipping, but there's no reason why it wouldn't happen on July 18 – after all that is the official release date for the tablet.
If you're interested, Amazon is just one click away.
Vizio's tablet has an 8-inch touchscreen with 1024x768 resolution, Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, a front-facing VGA camera for video chat, a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in storage (of which 2 GB are user-accessible), a microSD card slot, micro HDMI, and a 3.5 mm headset jack.
