Guest TylerDurdenK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) Crikey, that's better than Blu-Ray (which is at [email protected]). Even though RockPlayer will be doing the decode in software, it'll seriously struggle. Do you not have anything at [email protected]?

Guest le_lutin Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 does anyone know if I can return the Vega to a Currys store or does it have to be collected? Why don't you ring up your local store to find out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest removed-14 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 How did you get Angry Birds working? I downloaded and installed the APK but it just quits to homescreen when I try and load it :/ That's exactly what I did. It works fine for me. Have you updated your firmware? I have not... yet. does anyone know if I can return the Vega to a Currys store or does it have to be collected? Yes you can. Check the PDF that was attached to your original order confirmation. Why are you returning it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not for you, its not for you. 7 day distance selling reg's rock :) The TAB is a large iphone clone thingy, but it is nice and is great quality, but please don't get it for less than £440 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lnux9898 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 does anyone know if I can return the Vega to a Currys store or does it have to be collected?

True I just didn't envisage the screen being so bad, text isn't legible as I lean back slightly. Having the Nexus next to it doesn't help as you can see the screen from any angle... :-D Ah well, not to worry, horses for courses I guess...

Guest arad85 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 RockPlayer, the standard player wont even try to play it. OK - thanks. Bit of a downer, but to be expected. For the sort of files you're trying to play, you'll need the hardware acceleration of the internal player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nanu*1 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 It can be returned at a store. However, the box has been unopened for them to accept it. Opening the box just reduces the time you are allowed to return. 28 days for unopened and 7 days for opened.

Guest Divvet Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 That's simply not true. Google have repeatedly said that ChromeOS is for netbooks, for things with a keyboard and a mouse. They've ALSO stated that Froyo is not tablet-ready, but that one of the upcoming releases (Gingerbread or Honeycomb, details not released yet) will be. The 3G slot has less to do with the market support than the fact Android simply doesn't support greater than 7" screens officially yet. im sorry but i think ull find if you do your research google have said that android isnt meant for the tablet. and chrome os is sighted as being the os of choice.

Guest StarmanUK Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) Opening the box just reduces the time you are allowed to return. 28 days for unopened and 7 days for opened.

Guest Divvet Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Yes, lots of people are getting in a bit of a muddle about why market is not included on larger tabs. Current Google stance is 7inch or under and 3g, Samsung had to do some workaround's with the resolution, but this should be the norm in 2.3 and google have already stated that 2.3 will cope with 1024x600 and that 3.0 (honeycomb?) will be for tablets proper. Google went on record last week ( http://mashable.com/2010/11/15/android-chrome-os/ ) to say that chrome will be for desktop/keyboards and Android is for touchscreen - so we know what OS tablets will be based on then B) i stand corrected, my research = old :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
