Vizio Tablet is a Winner: Get ready for iPad competition that isn’t iPad competition, which is why it really does have a chance against the iPad in the large-screen tablet market. It’s the new Vizio tablet coming out next month, and it only costs $350. The lower price point is where Vizio has the edge: it’s not trying to be the new iPad, it’s answering to a different demographic and its needs. Think of the many scenarios in which purchasing tablets in bulk would be necessary, like for schools, retailers who want to use tablets for in-store retail experience, or restaurants who want to use tablets for the menus —this is where the Vizio tablet comes in.

iPad Favoritism: According to tests by Blaze Software, it looks like the top 500 webites are catering more to the iPad than to Android tablets. Why is this? It’s mostly because Androids are newer than iPads, and many websites just haven’t gotten around to setting up Android-specific pages. Another issue is variety; it’s harder for websites to support Android devices because there are so many versions of tablets and phones that run on that operating system. Network World
