More About The Features of the VIZIO VTAB1008 8-Inch WiFi Tablet
Build Quality: From the moment you pick up the tablet, you can feel that it is well made. A rubberized backing provides a firm grip, while a responsive and beautiful
8-inch LCD multi-touch display fills most of the front facing. There are no obvious creaks or flexing to the tablet. The weight of tablet is just heavy enough to feel comfortable
without causing rapid fatigue or being a burden to carry or hold.
Display: The picture quality on the device is impeccable. The 1024 x 768 resolution of the screen allows for smooth 720p HD video playback. VIZIO’s LED backlighting technology is included in the tablet to provide consistent, smooth lighting without obvious bleeding. The colors on the tablet are crisp and text is clear. This makes movie watching, web browsing and text reading a pleasure.
Built-in IR Blaster and Universal Remote App: This is a very unique offering from the tablet market. With the included IR Blaster and Universal Remote App, you can control nearly any electronic device in your home from your tablet. This includes devices manufactured by companies other than Vizio. Organizing your devices is a breeze with the included zone profile options. While the device might be a little large for dedicated use as a remote, the feature is quite handy.
Audio Quality: The tablet features an innovative three speaker design that shifts the audio between speakers depending on how you are holding the tablet. This provides immersive stereo audio with the tablet in landscape or 
portrait orientations. SRS TruMedia audio enhancement helps to increase the sound stage of the tablet and provides impressive clarity and quality when watching movies or listening to music.
Expandable Storage: While the 4GB internal storage capacity of the tablet is rather small by current standards, you can easily expand the storage with the included microSD card slot on the device. The tablet supports cards with storage capacities up to 32GB. This means you can keep endless amounts of media, documents or data on-hand by using multiple cards. Best of all, microSD cards are easy to find and very affordable.
Camera Quality: While the front-facing camera on the device will allow for video chat or optical recognition, it is certainly not suited for dedicated use. The camera lacks clarity when compared to the offerings of many of the competitors. Users have reported issues with the video chat functionality with some devices.
Android App Support: When an app is placed on the Android Market, the developers must specify the devices the app will run on. Unfortunately, it seems this tablet has not been added to many developer's lists. This means you will find fewer apps on the Android Marketplace to install and enjoy. However, many users have noted that simply side loading apps from another device will allow them to run them with no issues. As developers get more accustomed to the tablet, you should expect to see a significant increase in app availability.
