Vizio, based in Irvine, is hoping to do with tablets what its done with TVs -- become a market leader by selling millions of lower-priced units with higher-end features.

But, in typical Vizio fashion, the company is taking an unorthodox approach to just about everything, including the release of the $299.99 Vizio Tablet.

For example, there's no solid release date. Some stores already have the tablet, others have yet to get them.
