Google already let us know that Vizio is preparing a couple of Google TV devices for this year’s CES, and as expected, these have popped at the Las Vegas fair.

The devices in question are the Vizio VAP430 set-top box and a VBR430 Blu-ray player, both running the Vizio Internet Apps Plus UI on top of Google’s interactive TV platform.

What this means is that the two set-top boxes will have access to video content from Hulu and Netflix, RSS and social networking integration for Facebook and Twitter, as well as Android Market support.

A Bluetooth universal remote with an integrated touchpad and a rear QWERTY keyboard is also included according to SlashGear, while WiFi takes care of providing the required Internet connectivity.

No details regarding pricing or availability were unveiled by Vizio, but the outfit did say its Google TV solutions will go on sale by the end of this year.
