Pardon the Buggles reference. Vizio has made a splash by selling cheap LCD TVs in places like Wal-Mart. Today, they’re getting into the tablet and smart phone market, announcing Android-enabled devices in both categories.

Still, if you want a device and you don’t want to spend a ton: potential yay.
