Vizio, a company known for its low-cost televisions has just launched its first 8" Android tablet (model VTAB1008), probably hoping to gather significant market-share (in the longer term), just like it did in the HDTV business. At $329 (street price at Costco), the Vizio tablet hits a price point that is significantly lower than established competitors, but the obvious question is: how good is it?

Now that the first tablets have hit retail stores, we have been able to get one and have taken a first look at it. In this review, we will go over the design of the tablet and its user experience. Hopefully, by the end of it, you will have a good feel for what it is and how it feels to use the Vizio tablet in the real world.
