Dixons/Currys should be getting the 10" Advent Vega shortly, which looks decent for the price.

Hi I found someone who sells the Archos 101 for 273.78 pounds so around 312 Euro, save around 40 Euro. If I buy 5 or more I even get them cheaper any one interested??

I'd have to wait and weigh up the two really against eachother and see which is the best option for me (it's not even for me it would be for somebody else).

see here :

about 1:20 .. says supports standard usb pc peripherals

Notice that the advent does not support N wireless .. only B and G .. may affect some people http://www.talkandroid.com/17045-full-tech-specs-on-the-advent-vega/

Looks like the Advent will now be mid november : http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2010/10/28/advent-vega-release-date/

The Toshiba Folio has been pulled by Dixons in the UK due to the amounts of faulty ones being returned:eek:

I know so maybe the Archos is a better option or the Vega but that looks like a copy of the Toshiba and less specs than the Archos.

The viewing angle on the Toshiba Folio looks very limited, Engadget UK mooching about with it, in a branch of Dixons, it seems.

Just when you start to think of getting one of the current models new models appear on the horizon.

http://www.androidcentral.com/acer-announces-7-and-10-android-tablets-q2-2011

1280*800 resolution is bigger than the current batches of 1024*600
Not coming till Q2 2011 though (and that'll probably be delayed).

Great to see Acer entering the general Android tablet market, even if they're not perfect tablets.. Acer are huge and they'll turn owning a tablet into a mainstream priced item, available at Tesco, Xtra-Vision etc.. for normal prices. (as in.. sensible)

Once Acer and Asus get the fever and start cranking out multiple models, I'll bite.
