    Who has one of these?

    Just curious as I'm thinking of getting it as it has pretty impressive hardware for the price it's going for. Seen a video of honeycomb running on it and it looked fairly smooth.

    I've had one of these for about 2 months now, and love it.
    Very good value for the money, and i have honeycomb running on it now, and it runs fairly well. Theres a few things still to work out, and it wont ever be a perfect port until Google release the source.
    As good as the Vega is, if you could hang on and save up a bit more i'd go for the Transformer or the iconia.
    Im considering trying to sell mine and get a transformer myself.

    Got one there start of April and I really like it. Hamdy for nighttime reading/viewing when in bed and playing the odd game. Angry Birds on a very large screen is great. Great tablet for what I need. Have Cyanogenmod on it and it's sleek.

    How much would you sell it for? ;)

    See if I was to buy a real high-end tablet I'd wait for the Samsung Tab 10.1 but it wouldn't be used very regularly so I don't think there's a need. I'd only be watching movies/TV shows and playing the occasional game on it so that would be a waste. :p

    Anybody running Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean on a Vega?

    I've just liberated one from my mother (she got an iPad). My main problem is that the internal storage is tiny so I want to throw a new ROM onto it with apps on an ext partition.
