Which android tablet for around £230?

Advent vega is the best, it's the most powerful and most hackable (allowing you to get Android Marketplace on it). The 101 is a close second, with a slower processor, still with the marketplace hack available.
The 70 is the same as the 101, except for the screen (but running the same or similar resolution, making it a bit sharper looking). It's as good as the 101, it just depends on whether or not the 7" is enough for you.
Finally, the 70 is the only one currently in stock, for at least a week or so, which may well be the deciding factor, for me at least.

The Vega is good, but is work in progress, the Tegra 2 platform and SOC will only get better with driver tweaks and improvements. Gingerbread will greatly improve it.
Yes true, same could be said for the Archos range aswell. I'm ready to order one, but it's been in stock 5 times so far, for about 30mins to 2 hours, and I've missed it each time. 
Not sure if it's some form of beta testing or just that they just didn't realise how popular it was going to be. Rather annoying either way, I can see this dragging onto next year, where I'll but one of those notion ink adam things.

A certain auction site has the vega them for mmmmmm enough 
My impulse buy Advent Vega turned up today, and in ways its quite impressive, the dual core Tegra 250 chipset is really quick, especially with the Modaco addons.
All the main flash sites work brilliantly, etc, apart from screen having slightly narrow viewing angles, its just mimor stock android stuff that are the only annoyance, but getting the right apps (e.g. Launcher Pro, and a decent keyboard), and it really starts to shine.
I just put the winter live wallpaper on, and it looks amazing, as does angry birds @ 1024x600 all silky smooth!
I only ordered saturday, and it turned up today, so its not too hard to get one, and its certainly looking to be well supported...
In some ways its slicker then an iPad, in others, not so.. Its petfect as a more portable netbook, and a genuine 8+ hour battery life..
