Vizio brings 7-inch optimized for reading tablet to CES 2013
Vizio is aiming to widen its portfolio beyond just TV sets and computers, and it’s making a big step towards that by bringing a 7-inch tablet to CES 2013.

Having stock Android is an interesting idea, and Vizio CEO defends it saying Android has finally grown to the point that no skin is required.
It also seems possible that the tablet could be used as a remote for larger displays in the future. Thankfully, Vizio says it will use universal technologies like Miracast for that.
