Attention all shoppers… or at least those of you looking for an affordable tablet to tap on: Vizio has started shipping their 8-inch tablet, called the VTAB1008, for only $299. Not bad for a device that runs on Android 2.3 and packs in a 1GHZ processor, 4GB of built in storage, 802.11n Wi-fi. VGA front camera, light sensor, accelerometer and an HDMI output port.
The tablet market’s going to get a little bit more crowded again. TV maker Vizio just confirmed that they’re going to be joining the tablet fray soon with an eight-inch touchscreen tab called the Via Tablet and a four-inch Via Phone. What’s up with the new devices? The specifics weren’t given out, but after a teaser video that ran during the Rose Bowl, this much is known: the Via Tablet will feature a front camera, three speakers and a Wifi-only model, while the Via Phone will pack a 1GHz processor, 5MP cam and a lesser front cam for making video calls.Vizio’s video after the break.
