Vizio has unveiled more about its plans for the new year which seem to
consist largely of a huge push on Android, from the 4-inch phone and 8-
inch tablet running a (still unspecified) flavor on their 1 GHz
processors, to new VIA Plus HDTVs and Blu-ray players with Google TV
built in. The VIA Tablet and VIA Phone (not necessarily final names,
judging from the PR) have a few other details mentioned -- though we
don't know if the phone is GSM or CDMA, it does have a 4-inch screen,
WiFi N, GPS, MicroSD slot, dual cameras and HDMI output, while the 8-
inch tablet brings similar chops minus any sort of 3G connectivity.
With the new Vizio Internet Apps Plus, it aims to provide a seamless
experience from the handheld to the big screen, including the ability
to pause and resume content across devices. Judging by the screenshot,
it looks like the company may be wrapping its own Yahoo! Widgets-like
skin around the Google TV experience in a way we haven't seen from
Sony or Logitech yet. Another pic and the full press releases await
after the break, the rest will have to wait until we get our hands on
the devices in Las Vegas.
