Advent’s Vega tablet gets a bit of sweeter with the addition of Android 3.0 (video)

There’s a variety of Android tablets obtainable, but you will certainly do a whole lot worse than the Advent Vega with its Tegra 2 innards and £199 ($326) asking price. You’ll take issue with its outdated OS, but thankfully just a few hackers have replaced the Vega’s antiquated Android 2.2 with a heaping helping of Honeycomb. It’s currently an alpha release, so while widgets and apps are working well, camera capabilities, screen rotation, web-surfing on WiFi, and most everything else is currently off limits. There’s still lots of work to be done, but seeing Advent’s slate running buttery smooth Android 3.0 with aplomb (in spite of the fact that unofficially) makes us think it is a better bargain than ever before. Investigate cross-check how the Vega looks sporting its slick new threads within the video after the break.
