I saw the halftime commercial with Vizio's CEO holding a tablet and went straight to the internet with "Vizio tablet" in my search bar. I found nothing! They have been keeping this well under wraps. That was pretty sly of their CEO to just slip that in there...

VIA = Vizio Internet Apps (http://vizio.com/discover/via)

If VIA is their "internet into your television" approach (like Google TV), maybe the Via tablet and Via phone are their "television into your internet" approach?

Just have to wait until CES to start on Thursday to see what comes to the market.
