Interesting move here by Amazon. By dropping the nicely-specced Vizio VTab eight inch tablet to $199, they’ve created a competitor to their own Amazon Kindle Fire tablet which at 7 inches is also priced at $199.
The VTab runs Android 2.3, has 4GB of built in storage and an SD card slot for additional storage and 512MB of RAM. It bests the Kindle Fire with a bigger, higher resolution 1024 x 768 display, front facing camera for video conferencing (with Google Talk and Skype), built in IR blaster, an SRS 3 speaker sound system as well as an internal GPS.
It lacks the Kindle’s Dual Core processor.
For my money, this beats a Kindle Fire.

I dont think this is better than the kindle fire, yes this has " the insert more memory" here thing going,etc,plus more ram. However, the screen viewing for movies is what kills it watch this video to see proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd-xlssIF2A
I think Amazon onlydropped the price so people can see how bad the viewing is, once people get a taste of that , those same people will be picking up the Amazon fire. Great marketing…….
Note: I do not work for amazon. just throwing my 1 cent at you I'l keep the other cent for the parking metter. LOL
I have a VTAB and I love it. The comment above makes no sense because people viewing tablets are not sitting in a room full of people, almost always it's just one person viewing and they are not going to be viewing off-angle anyway. Besides the VTAB can be a Kindle, just download the app, or it can be a NOOK it comes with the app. It is also NETFLIX and HULU ready (apps installed), and Vizio says Honeycomb is coming. It's also available at Costco for 189.99. Very hard to beat!!
