You have an Android smartphone and tablet, what else can you “do”? Soon you’ll be able to grab an Android-powered TV, compliments of ViewSonic. The forthcoming VSD220 Smart Display rocks a 22-inch 1080p touchscreen, TI’s dual-core processor, 8GB of built-in storage, while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is running the show. Moreover, there are stereo speakers, integrated microphone, HDMI-in, 1.2-megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet, 2 full-sized and 1 micro USB ports.
ViewSonic lists the new product with a price tag of $543 though it’s out of stock at the moment. Moreover, we’re hearing the price will go south of $400 once more merchants get to sell it.
Now I dig the idea of putting Android in different devices but I’m not sure I would spend additional cash on a smart display. After all, at 22 inches it can hardly replace my TV. What do you think? Would you be willing to try this out?

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
