Looking for alternatives to buying from Vizio directly? If you’re one of those folks who like buying from Amazon, listen up – Vizio’s 8 inch Android tablet is up for pre-order there as well. In fact, Amazon has it for $30 cheaper than Vizio. They’re carrying the device for $350 compared to Vizio’s $380. Ballsy. Couple that with Amazon Prime eligibility and you may want to cancel whatever order you made with Vizio.
If you need a refresher, Vizio’s tablet isn’t Honeycomb enabled but ties in with many of Vizio’s television application services. Its specs are modest with a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. Over time, it could be a fantastic companion to an internet-connected Vizio television. If you fit the bill for that market, be sure to give it a closer look at Vizio’s site before deciding to write it off. [via Netbook News]
umm… $350 and $380, you mean?
Walmart has it for 338
It looks like Amazon’s offering is sans the case and 16 GB MicroSD card. Probably worth the $50 difference. What intrigues me most about this tab is it’s ability for use with Vizio tvs, which is what I have. If all it does is give me a keyboard to search Netflix, it’s worth the money to me!
My family had two Vizio TVs that both stopped working after 13 months. Vizio is cheap crap.
Actually it’s available now and the cheapest is at Costco. $329.99
