The tablet handles Adobe Flash playback. The YouTube videos I played tended to have not seen on other tablets, though.

I liked Vizio's thoughtful use of three speakers for the audio; this is so that you get stereo (left/right) sound no matter how you hold the tablet. In landscape mode, the speakers at the upper left and right edges; in portrait, the two speakers are at top, porting upwards. This design allows for greater flexibility in how you use the tablet, and proved effective. I wish there were a way to use the third speaker to improve the audio, or even give a surround sound effect, but alas that is not an option. Still, audio sounded better than it does on most Android 3.x tablets; it still had some tinny qualities, but it was nonetheless tolerable--even enjoyable by comparison to most of what I've heard on tablets before it. Whether the credit goes to Vizio's use of SRS TruMedia, or to Android 2.3's player codec remains to be seen.

The bottom line about the Vizio Tablet is that it's neither sleek nor cutting edge, but it is usable. The universal remote feature may not be the best implementation I've seen of this, but it is still a compelling extra not found on most of the competition. If you're constrained by budget, like the idea of a universal remote, and want a tablet yesterday, the Vizio tablet is worth a look. Like many things in life, this tablet is a compromise. How long you'll be satisfied will depend in large part on how Google handles Ice Cream Sandwich.
