UK retailer Dixons has SLASHED its asking price for the popular Advent Vega 10.1″ Android 2.2 tablet, taking it down beneath the critical £200 psychological barrier. As in, it now costs £199.99 including free delivery.
This price is for the version of the Vega without Adobe’s Flash Player pre-loaded on it, but as we’ve banged on about before, that’s easily fixed by updating the firmware via the Advent Vega site.
Great price, that. With apologies to one of our readers who bought one just last week. And thanks to Droid-Den for the tip. They clearly know us very well.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ March 30, 2011Now can it run honeycomb.
If so they will sell out very quickly
Simon
/ March 31, 2011No. That’s why the price has been reduced to clear them out
pete
/ March 31, 2011I didn’t mean officially. I know that isn’t happening.
But there are already some builds out there. So I’m snapping one up.

/ March 31, 2011The spec is suitable (same CPU/GPU as the Motorola Xoom, a Honeycomb tablet).
If it does not get official Honeycomb support (which is the likely outcome), it will almost certainly get unofficial community Honeycomb support.
A absolute bargain for someone prepared to tweak it and install Modaco’s ROM.
