Advent Vega

Been to both PC World and Curry's today (18/11/10) neither of them have a clue when it will be out although they both have a Gift Guide with the Vega in and Curry's have a slot ready for the Vega along side the now taken off Tosh Folio and the nice looking Gal Tab.

Because your nexus one isn't a dual core. Android isn't ready for dual core. Gingerbread is being tweaked at the moment to prep it for the dual core nexus s. Their concern isn't all these premature T2 tablets. Not their fault the mfg's don't know how to listen to them.

I don't understand how these tegra2 tablets are so laggy (according to all reviews) when my Nexus One's browser is perfectly fine

look I'm no CPU designer or low level programmer but when I run single core optimised software e.g. legacy stuff on a modern dual/quad whatever, it isn't slower, it just takes no advantage of the dual cores. Does anyone have a technical explanation?
 
You might have to look to xda for an answer, but it's beyond a coincidence that all tegra 2 tablets are having an issue. I think it's more that the OS just doesn't know how to work with a dual core processor. X86 environments have been around for years as have dual core processors in that environment. This is not the case with android. Single core is all the OS knows. Heck, the OS needs major revamping to go from ARM to x86 and Intel is spearheading that work. If it were easy, we'd be running android on all those umpc tablets out there by now.
 
I phoned up my local store and apparently there was a massive power cut at there distrobution center. Duno but my guess is that they will be coming in on monday or tusday, thats in scotland any way duno about you guy's down in england you got any yet? from what iv heard they have sold out down there, we hevent actually sat them on the shelves up here yet, they are in storage though iv pre ordered one and they said they would give me a phone when it arrives, ill keep u guys updated.

ps if any one has one plz make a fast video review/ show of flash video at 720p plzzzzzzzzz!!!!


Regards Antony.

Apparently they are pretty close to completing the port to the X86 processor. Cisco is planning to release their CIUS tablet in March and it's running an ATOM processor.

I sat in on an internet meeting with my company and Cisco a couple of weeks ago where they indicated that they now have demo CIUS tablets available for some of their larger customers.
 
I'm looking forward to it. Will make something like the Inspiron Duo very versatile. Dual-boot. Android for the quick access/tablet experience and win 7 when you need to work. Would definitely put my e4200 up for sale then, which I still might do anyway. The Duo seems like a nice compromise. Though the Lenovo lepad will be a nice alternative to with the removable tablet, though you lose the win7 part.
 
My wife ordered one and it arrived this morning. Within an hour of her powering it up it had crashed 3 times. She is sending it back, it's not worth
