Is Vizio’s new 8-inch tablet about to make its debut?

Vizio’s rising 8-inch Android Via tablet could soon find itself being sold on the shelves at Wal-Mart for $349, according to leaked photo.

Showing what appears to be a picture of the product, the website “This is My” confirms some of the tablet’s specifications, including a HD capacitive touch screen, a front-facing built-in camera along with a  GPS. Though no release date have been announced, the site asserts that the tablet should reach the market in a very close future.

Vizio, which is known for its LCD TVs, demoed its first tablet at this years CES which was held in January.

A hands-on look from CNET found the touch screen to be very responsive and the user interface to be quite fluid. Beyond the specs listed by Wal-Mart, the tablet offers Wi-Fi (b/g/n), Bluetooth, an accelerometer, and an ambient light sensor. The Via also includes a mini-HDMI port, a Micro-USB port, and a slot for SDHC memory expansion.

An infrared remote inside the tablet can also turn it into a universal remote control, allowing people to control TVs, DVD players, and other video devices that use infrared.

Adding further fuel to the rumors that the tablet may soon debut is a pointer from Engadget to a recent video that showed NBA basketball star Blake Griffin being given a tech tour of his Via tablet. Early on in the video, the Vizio representative tells Griffin that “we’re getting ready to introduce our new Vizio tablet.”
