Teasing tablets ahead of the CES deluge is nothing new for manufacturers now, but we’ll at least give Vizio a few style points for its expensive approach to the tactic. That’s because a Vizio tablet made a not-so-secret appearance during the Rose Bowl. Specifically, the device appeared about 15 seconds into the chairman’s message in the hands of Vizio chief sales officer Randy Waynick. Just in case the mere sight of it was too subtle, Waynick’s script was also kind enough to mention Vizio’s dedication to “entertainment freedom for all” and the ability to view content on “any of their great new products, from anywhere” — wink wink, nudge nudge. Details on the gadget are obviously unknown, but it’s a safe bet that it runs Android based on the tell-tale buttons shown at the bottom of its screen and we’re confident the actual specs will emerge next week. We’re also pretty positive it’s not Vizio’s 7-inch razor portable TV . For now though, watch the full video after the break and consider how fortunate we are to live in a world where one could buy a ticket to the Rose Bowl and keep a Vizio tablet on hand just in case the need to watch another football game from the stands struck.

As anyone who’s shopped around for a custom PC case knows, the options are virtually endless — but it’s a bit of a different story if you’re looking to keep things as sleek and simple as possible. Thankfully, the folks at Fractal Design have now provided one more option for the more modestly-inclined folks out there in the form of their new Define Mini case, which is a Micro ATX version of their larger Define R2 and R3 cases. As you can see above, it’s suitably monolith-like, and it doesn’t come with too many compromises in terms of specs — in fact, you’ll actually get a generous six HDD trays among all the usual accommodations. No word on a price just yet, but we’re guessing it won’t demand too much of a premium if the company’s other Define cases are any indication.

Article by WN.Com Correspondent Dallas Darling. “I have concluded that I should not permit the presidency to become involved In the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year. Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your President.” -President Lyndon Johnson, 1968 When Fox News reported that President Barack Obama’s vacation reading list consisted of two books, both of which pertained to former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, he should have also packed a third book to read: Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. Even though there are some obvious differences between Johnson’s and Obama’s presidencies…

So if the HTC Incredible was coded as the ADR6300 in Verizon’s internal systems, just what do you think an ADR6400 could signify? A pair of screenshots from a VZW employee living out a Julian Assange daydream have seemingly confirmed the common expectation that Verizon will very soon deliver its Incredible successor — better known to you and us as the LTE-equipped HTC Thunderbolt. Aiding and abetting the HTC handset in getting the red team’s LTE network started will be Samsung’s SCH-i520 , an Android 2.2 device equipped with that most critical of accessories, a front-facing camera. Both are now standing on the precipice of showing up for sale, those zeroes in the stock column shouldn’t remain so round for much longer .

New year means a new price for the Verizon-branded Galaxy Tab . Droid-Life has received word from a couple of VZW store employees that the big red network intends to chop a nice $100 chunk off its price for the 7-inch Android tablet. Though this move hasn’t yet been made official, the Galaxy Tab should soon be available to buy for $500, without any contractual obligations and plus a $60 movie rental voucher that can be redeemed in Samsung’s Media Hub or the preloaded Blockbuster Mobile app. You shouldn’t freak out if you’ve just bought a Tab either, as Verizon’s also said to be offering a benevolent refund for the difference in price to buyers of the Samsung slate who happen to have receipts dating from the last 14 days.
