While we’re a bit disappointed that Hulu has yet to bring their services to tablets and Android devices other than phones, we can’t be mad that they’re at least trying. Today, we can scratch the “first tablet with Hulu Plus” milestone off the list as The Vizio 8 inch Android tablet has been added to the list of supported devices. It’s no Honeycomb tablet, but there it is anyway. If you’ve already gotten one of these to go along with your Vizio internet-connected TV (which should also have Hulu Plus) go ahead and grab from the Android market. (Market listing not yet updated to reflect the change.)

If you were ever wishing for a tablet to accompany your internet connected VIZIO TV, you’ve caught a break – the 8 inch VIZIO V-Tab is now on sale for $300 at both Walmart and Amazon. While this thing isn’t going to be desirable to most of you, VIZIO’s integration with their internet-connected products could be worth shelling out for it. (And you’ll get all of the other functionality of modern pre-Honeycomb tablets, as well). A 1GHz processor 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage won’t turn heads in a crowd of tech geeks, but it shouldn’t be half bad for what VIZIO intends for its users to use it for. [Laptoping]
