Should i Buy 1

---

should i buy a vega because i have always fancied it but never put down the cash.
So what is it like to use?
Does the tegra 2 really preform in games?
and what are the chances of getting honeycomb when it source code is released because i see u have cm7 allready which is promising and honeycomb would make it a definate yes!!

cheers, Adam

For the price the advent vega is great. The tegra chipset is more than powerful enough to handle everyday activities, nice and smooth. Game performance is good, but with future updates i think it will be even quicker. Honeycomb will come to are device, i have no doubt on that. Its just will it be official or a custom rom from one of are (or other great mobile site) Great dev's

I have had mine since Christmas, and i have no regrets.

Hard to say if YOU should buy it...

I have no regrets but I can see myself going for a higher res tablet once those come out (the currently announced honeycomb tablets).

The screen is the only real disadvantage of this tablet, regarding viewing angles and perhaps resolution. (About android, android 2.2 is ok for tablets... not the best but works just fine. Really hope honeycomb will become available though.)

But for regular browsing, watching videos, listening to some music, checking some email, playing the occasional game (I'm not a gamer though) it's just fine and imo certainly worth the money.

Lo there,

the vega is a nice "cheap" piece of kit.

Do not expect to have an ipad like experience though, and out the box its a bit poo.

You definitly have to be prepared to have a fiddle to get the best out of it.

cheers guys
i have heard it is a bit ram out of the box but i dont mind custom romming it it would be the second thing i do after turn it on!
I do really hope it can get honeycomb because that would make it a real i pad competitor for £250
It does seem well suited to honeycomb since it has no physical buttons, tegera 2, and a ten inch display which is what the xoom and galay pad are. but alot more moneys!

Do not underestimate the effect of the screen. You use a tablet interacting through an user interface with a screen. The UI here is Android, which is top... but the screen is bottom. Seriously. I would have shelled out 60 euro extra for a better screen.

really? what else is their out their for that price and whats so bad about it the viewing angles?

The bad viewing angles make tasks like reading or watching videos while lying on bed a more straining task than it ought to. Plus, they strain the eyes more than better screens. That said, no tablet offers what the AV gives for its value, especially for mod-savvy use like the folks here or in MoDaCo.

Cheers thats what seems to be the general consensus. I cant justify the big price tags my self and i think i could live with pore viewing angles.

Plus im hopeful for honecome for this which shouldnt be too hard to build from source code since it has no cellular capabilities or gps which will mean their are less things to fix. WiFi would probably be an issue but fixable and personally i dont care about bluetooth.

if it gets this it will realy add value because the only niggles seem to be the screen and software!

well I have the galaxy tab...but miss the large screen of the ipad..(gave to son for xmas)....so I ordered a vega and it arrives wed morning..so will see if it does me...obviously will have to mod it..will just try the add on first...market etc...then try it out for a week and if happy enough will sell the galaxy tab..
