Android Thoughts: Affordable Android Phone And Tablet Due This Summer Via Vizio Via

"Vizio Inc., which put inexpensive flat-panel TVs in living rooms, now is setting its sights on cellphones and tablet computers."

You remember Vizio? You know, those guys who make the really cheap yet not totally worthless HDTVs? Well, looks like we may soon get a really cheap and hopefully not totally worthless Android phone and tablet. The 4-inch Via phone and 8-inch Via tablet are set to come our way this summer running an yet to be announced version of Android. I must say that I am some what excited about this news. I really would like a cheap Android tablet to play with but don't want a complete piece of junk like the current "bargain" tablets on the market. If Vizio can do with Android what they have done with HDTVs we could be in for a real treat. It won't be the best device on the market for sure but perhaps it will be worth using. Even the phone has me a little excited with the chance that it will not be sold or branded by a carrier. I'm all about unlocked and uncrapwared phones. Bring it on Vizio! Let's see what you've got.
