The Froyo build on the Vega is AOSP (slightly modified) using the Nvidia reference libs. So until Honeycomb hits AOSP even the OEM doesn't know how it will work. When they do know they will tell the rebadgers (POV/Advent/etc) and then we may find out.

Unofficially we'll probably know shortly after Honeycomb drops in AOSP because we'll try to get a build running.

I have been holding off myself as it doesnt look to be running that great even on the cooked ROMS. I have been stung before waiting for a ROM upgrade or fix that never came. Not going to buy this until it gets a decent honey rom.

Well, mine runs great. Bang for buck, im super happy.

Performance is good n fast, and it does what i need it to do. Not sure where you got the idea it doesnt run well.

Id love to see honeycombe etc, but if they dont appear for the vega, ill still be happy with it.

Dont be off put due to lack of a particular rom

Then save your cash for another tablet. You know the old tale of buying a device for what it is supposed to be able to do in the future and not for what it does now? It tends to have sad endings

It runs just perfectly fine on the default roms and addons imo. It should be able to run honeycomb and I think it will in time... but there are no guarantees.

It's a fine device as it is now already though.

I've been playing around now for a day with my Vega. A very good device for it's budget!

getting honeycomb would be the ultimate treat for this sweet tablet

Let's just hope for now..

The vega isn't that bad, bang for buck its great, but the screen is horrible and ruins it big time.

True, the screen leaves alot to be desired, and I would have paid €50 extra for a superior screen, but really, for the price I paid, the tablet is awesome.

That is exactly my feeling about the device.
