Appears like Blake Griffin must find another unreleased gadget to wave in front of our noses, because his beloved Vizio tablet will soon be available to each of the little folks that shop at Walmart. An internal schedule just faxed itself to our tin foil caps declaring that the Android 8-incher will start shipping in “week 26″, that is Walmartish for 6 weeks from now. That will seem a protracted wait considering Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 is already giving us doe-eyes from the shelves at Best Buy, however the Vizio hits a friendlier price bracket (recently leaked at $349) and has its own set of tricks. The SRS speakers and universal remote function impressed us back in January, and there is also the Via Plus ecosystem that are supposed to integrate the tablet with Vizio TV apps and the imminent Vizio Phone . In fact, Vizio is greater than welcome to come back over and pimp the remainder of our home entertainment system love it did for Blake.
