Article: Vizio to Challenge Apple with Low Cost Smartphone and Tablet

Vizio competing with Apple is like Timex competing with Patek Philippe.

Apple sells an expensive product that is high end and over-engineered.

Vizio sells a product that is "good enough" for the masses but cheap.

They're not going to put a dent in Apple's sales. People who want Apple will get Apple.

Not if they can't afford Apple. I agree on the quality issue, but there are a lot of people who can't afford those products, even on the low end. There's a commercial out for the low priced Kindle eReader and I always am taken aback by it because the gal says she "only" paid $139 for it and that she spent more on her sunglasses. Trust me, I'm not in her financial league. If Vizio puts out something under $100, as an example, then maybe, but Kindle will never get my business.
