Will it run Honeycomb smoothly?
A friend of mine was looking at the Advent Vega as a stop gap, until the better tablets are released.
Edit - Just seen that there is already a dirty port of Honeycomb on the nook. If they can get a working honeycomb rom on the Vega when the code is released I think I'll pick that up instead. Keep it for a year, then pick the tablet I want then.

Ref Emulating, masta could have possibly been a bit clearer, but ill try and explain it a bit better.
Alot of people think the job of an emulator is to run a game. That is incorrect.
An emulator emulates the hardware of a computer, whether it be a desktop computer, laptop, phone, console, arcade and fruit machines, emulators are available to emulate the hardware inside these machines.
Because this hardware is emulated, it allows you to run media designed to be run on that hardware.
Unfortunately this process is extremely difficult. We are only now at a stage where you can play Playstation 2 games smoothly on a High End PC. Luckily, smartphone technology has advanced at a faster rate than computers do, with them all readying having a 1Ghz+ cpu, so we can emulate hardware like a Playstation on our smartphones, however still as you said, its not 100% smooth.

Pittsey tell me about the Advent Vega.
Id buy the Xoom or Samsung now to be honest, money isnt the issue, but I just think like the iPad this is the first generation of tablets and while I want in, Im gonna hold out on a big purchase until something truly amazing comes out ad I just dont think we're there yet.

As long as you're comfortable rooting it and flashing a custom ROM.... I heard that the UI Viewsonic made is fucking horrendous and makes the device practically unusable. And they don't ship it with Android Market. It seem that you can flash a ROM built from the Vega, and there also seems to be some working being made to port CyanogenMod 7.

Modoco who have got a lot of rom information, rooting information and a few people working to get Honeycomb ported when the source code is released - Advent Vega - Vega.MoDaCo.com - Android @ MoDaCo
I'm not sure if they are available any where else but the UK at the moment. But there are a lot of supply issues here too, and they are hard to get hold of. I may pick myself up as an interim tablet until I find something I really like as they are only £250.

How long will you be in Portland? I'm going to a Balkan Beat Box show on the 25th of February at the Roseland Theater. We can get together and hit up one of Portland's famous whore houses 
but yea, how long will you be in Portland for? I'm going to work on the 25th of February in the City Centre. So when you get back, we can get together and hit up one of Birmingham's whore houses

Honeycomb Available Now In Flashable Zip For Your Nook Color
/\ I might do this after making a Nandroid backup of my current setup.
This looks sick. The SONOS systems are pretty expensive though.

How about this news coming out of Cupertino?

I don't know why'd you'd post that in here. Don't we have an Apple thread?
EDIT - oh, the whole "competing with Android" part. Well, that's speculation from the journalist. They can't compete anyway. Android's success has nothing to do with it being cheaper or more affordable and if that's how Apple sees it, they're dead wrong.

Yup it would be a stupid move. It would reduce the "proper, expensive" version's sales more than steal the market share from mid-range.
Now Iphone fans have to pay shitloads of cash for the newest Iphone. With a cheaper version they won't have to anymore.
People who want Android would buy it anyway. There is a group of people who buy Android because it's a "cheap smartphone" but I doubt that a lot of them would turn to Apple if there's Android there already. Most of all there's no Apple product with decent value/quality ratio so a cheaper iphone won't be cheap for what it'll offer anyway.
I mean - I see the logic behind trying to save the market share that they're losing but it'd be more of a shot in the foot for Apple.
