    Hi guys!

    I'm looking to get my first tablet.. hmmm decisions decisions!

    I'm not looking to spend too much (hence the iPad being out!) but don't want something completely craptacular either!

    I think I've narrowed my options down to:

    Advent Vega
    Samsung Tab
    Archos 10

    Any of you knowledgeable folk here care to help me out and give me your opinion on which would be the best buy and why..?

    I'll be mainly just using it for watching movies, surfing the net, listening to music.. nothing too tasking at all by any means!

    Screen wise - the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned, I'm not too worried about portability issues.

    Also, I'm a complete Android n00b - so this is probably a completely dumb question.. buuut.. will it be possible to upgrade to 2.3 / 3.0 (where applicable) on any of the above??

    I'm particularly interested in the Honeycomb release as I gather it's geared for tablets moreso than smartphones - will it be possibly to upgrade to that when it's released or will my tablet be more or less obsolete to some extent when that's released?

    Buying a tablet before MWC 2011 when all the manufacturers release details of this years products would be mad so hold onto your horses for a bit.

    I reckon a Honeycomb based tablet is gonna be pricey due to hardware requirements (Google has stated this) and the fact its the newest pony in town. While you may be able to install Honeycomb on the older Android tablets its not a risk I'd bet on.
