Want to enter the 'lottery' portion of the competition but not sure where to post?

Let's not clutter up the other threads if you're a bit shy and don't know what to say... post here!

Why not tell us a bit about yourself and your tech!

as a poor student id love a vega, maybe it could replace carrying ebook readers and a laptop?

[RyanMacG]

I've been holding out on getting the Vega for a while but with every other tablet coming with ridiculous price tags I think I might just take the plunge. It certainly helps the way Advent have embraced the community unlike other OEMS

Hi my name is Glenn aka Lenny aka Lennyuk, and can be found on twitter @lennyuk

Lots of you would have seen me around here, or xda, or villainrom

I am one of the "founding" members of Team Villain (who make roms for large numbers of devices similar to what Paul does here (but not identical).

I am a trainee Solicitor in the "real world" but use spare time I have in the day to help others with my extensive knowledge of android on a software side.  my knowledge of rom building is limited (but not completely trashy), but I know a lot of the top people around who can help if its something I am new to.

I currently own a Desire Z and an Advent Vega

I have owned a HTC Hero and a HTC Desire in the past, and now a completely converted android user from my previous blackberry history (where I did use to build roms for blackberry, but its a lot easier to do than android).

If you have any questions about how something in android works, or how to do a particular thing then just ask and if I can I give you the answer, and if for some reason I don't know the answer then I will ask someone who will know the answer.

I would like to win one of those ADVENT Vega tablets. They look really nice.

[Swampie]

Oooo, shiney... please put me in the lottery!

[rock3r]

I'd love to get a tablet so that I can develop tablet-optimized apps!

[YorkieUK]

Thanks to Paul and all at Modaco for making my Vega the "cant put down" media device in my house, in fact I need another to spread the love!

I would be great to get a brother for my POV for my brother

Consider this a lottery entry

Was mighty tempted by a Vega last month for reading and browsing and stuff, but then someone showed me their Kindle and now I'm totally not sure! What's the Vega like to read books on? At the moment, I do a lot of reading on my phone (HTC Desire, CM7) but it's not exactly a pleasant reading experience...

Having said all that, if I managed to get a Vega for free, that would certainly persuade me!!

The vega is fantastic for kindle, I am about to finish my first kindle book on it today.  And rumour has it amazon have a new app design for tablets coming soon too (although I fail to see how they can improve anything)

[ICDeadPpl]

I would be soo happy if I had one of these in my hands!  

[nicholson101]

Agreed. I love kindl(ing)!? on my vega too and still enjoying hooking up to my pogoplug and streaming all my vids and music.

[foxmeister]

I've got a Galaxy Tab, which I love to bits and whilst I wouldn't replace it with a larger device (like the Vega), I wouldn't mind one as a companion device which would live on the coffee table!

I neva win nuffin me!

[b_jammin666]

Would love to win it!!

[technomonkey]

Ohh lottery? I'm in

I've only recently been introduced to the wonderful world of Android thanks to Paul and his recommendation of the ZTE Blade - Cheers dude. I've been learning a great deal from this forum and its many helpful members. I've been following the Vega thread with great interest. I sooo want one! sadly times are hard and I can't quite afford one at the moment, so consider this a lottery entry

Thanks!

Another lottery entry from a poor student who would LOVE a Vega!

With the improvements Paul has made to the software on these things they HAVE to be one of the best tablets available.

I'm also keen to get a Vega!

I've been using (and hacking around with) Android since Cupcake on a HTC Dream and I love the way things are going.
I really would love to play around with getting Honeycomb running on the Vega.
