I suspect Android 4 will also make it to the Vega.

Thanks Jay, I'm sure I'll be bugging you with questions when it arrives.

Dont get it, why does anyone need a tablet when you have a phone and a laptop a net book a desktop plus 20 other ways to waste time on the internet  

I cant imagine how pissed I would be when after forking out £200 on a giant phone the screen starts to twitch out like all the other must have tech we are flooded with on a daily basis

Wheres me pipe and slipers....

I don't have a desktop computer. I've bought this for £130 (not £200) for use around the house (don't have a TV in bedroom) and also when I'm out and about with work. I don't get why some people have to post a comment such as this when you clearly knew what was in this thread from title.

Maybe that's one of those '20 other ways to waste time on the internet' you mentioned.

Yeah your probably right, long back story but ive found tablets very underwhelming and fell back to a laptop within a week
If thats all you have then good on you, everyone has a Troll in them and mine came out to play at lunchtime







and i spelt slippers wrong

This arrived today and just got it up and running on the standard ROM and so far i am impressed with the hardware and the screen for £130.

Ill be putting vegacomb on it next week

[T_J_G]

Just installed vegacomb and its transformed this tablet for £130 I am very impressed.

Just need to work out why it won't let me download from android market.

Do you have a google / gmail account?

if you go to http://market.android.com and sign in, click any of the free software and see if it lists the Vega in the installable devices. Could be that because it's not an original ROM /Hacked you can't use the market ? What did the thread/instructions say about the market on it?

[T_J_G]

Got it sorted the app disappeared then came back this morning fully working!
