Advent Vega: Launches Nov 1st, who's tempted?

Went into purp shirts shop and they do not have an estimated arrival time yet.

But I went into Tesco and they had the Commtiva N700 Linx tablet which is a 7in capacitive tablet with wifi, HSDPA 3G modem and Android 2.2 Froyo, but I don't think it had flash support!!
I cannot post a link as they are a competitor but you can easily google it.
 
Not sure if I fancy the Vega or the Commtive N700.

If I could have a 7in inc 3G modem, wifi, capacitive with Froyo 2.2 inc flash and Tegra 2 then I would buy it.
 
Has anyone picked one up yet, I here they are on the shelves today and the buy button has been active for 2 days on the purple shirt website?

One of my collegues is over in Blighty until tomorrow & i'm hoping he can bring me 1 back to DK with him :D
 
Only the Galaxy Tab and Archos 70 are available atm.

The Archos 70 might be your best bet. It's more a 7" XVGA Dell streak than iPad clone so shouldn't have the performance issues of the hi-res Tab (unless they balls up the custom UI :D)
 
Toys R Us are doing a wifi only tablet on android at about £150 for 10" on 2.1 iirc or a smaller 7" version at £89 on 1.6. Made by Elonex and called eTouch. The 10" has a VIA ARM 11 1ghz processor.

Looks like the battery life is only 3 hours so pretty pointless but for round the house / quick coffee shop browsing the 10" could be ok.
 
...also at ASDA (OcUK competitor? :p)

Stay well clear!!!!!

- Resistive screen
- 256Mb memory
- 1024*600 res (not supported by OS)
- Unbranded ARM 11 cpu
- quoted 3 hour (so it'll be less in reality)
- Sweet FA support (no updates)
 
The Vega is now available to order online from DSG websites. Using Quidco and the voucher code of 10POUND mine will end up costing about £18 less than RRP (£232) with free delivery. Not available in stores until next week (usually Thursday for store deliveries).

Anyone else tempted? If it is poo then ill send it back under the 7 day distance selling rules.

Why would you be tempted? It will be awful, look at the specs :(

Save your money.
 
^That's for the Toys R Us special not Vega :p

Personally I'd still wait for android 2.3/3.0 and the guys at modaco :) If your gagging for one now the Archos 70 looks a safer bet (XVGA/Wifi Galaxy Tab for £250)

Ohhhh.

Well the Vega isn't so bad then, did anyone even expect a 'Toys R Us special' to be good anyway? :p

Lol! Yes the Vega is a different spec all together. Looks like it sold out online within 3 hours of being available, which I know if they only had 10 isn't anything amazing.

Paul @ Modaco has bought one so at least ill be in good company :D
 
I had a play with a Dell Streak in the O2 shop and I liked it. Froyo 2.2 is coming later this month as well as well, if they did a Streak with Tegra 2 and N wifi I would be very happy. I think that is what is coming from Dell in the new year.
