So you can access pretty much all of the apps you could on an Android 2.3 smartphone. It isn't Android 3.0 or later, so you can't use the tablet-optimized apps such as those designed for the Xoom, Galaxy Tab, etc. But you still have access to the majority of apps in the Android Market, which includes email, word processing, etc. And, of course, you can access Google's services like Gmail, Google Docs, Google Music, etc. So it isn't a bad little tablet, especially if you will use the universal remote features and IR blaster which most tablets do not have.If you really want an Android tablet then you might shop around, there have been deals on Android 3.0+ tablets like the ASUS Transformer or Motorola Xoom which put them in the same price range as the Vizio, but they normally cost a bit more.
