I met with DSG today...

[Guest Paul]

What thoroughly nice people! :)

I can't share too much at this time, but suffice to say there's cool stuff coming down the road and they are listening very carefully to everyone's feedback on the forum.

They know their stuff too. :)

Yeah, like maybe when there will be more stock? lol!

[Guest redmongoose]

This seems very promising.

Let's hope their supply issues get sorted soon and get enough stock to those who want them :-) 4 weeks from buying one to delivery isn't good. But I must say very imprresed with the device (for the price) at the moment - especially with Pauls rom

[Guest flyingscotno1]

Good to see DSG seem to be serious about this product and support.

Also nice they seem to recognise the Android community as something to work with rather than simple ignore.

Well... that's interesting.... and very good news :) Did they invite you up? I think the most important question is:

Are we likely to get access to kernel source to really open this tablet up?

Is that cool stuff for the vega? Or cool new advent products? Because I've blown next years gadget allowance already on this badboy.

[Guest Ste_B]

Thats great news!

First post from me so i must say im really pleased they're going to fully support the device.

Dixons Retail were formerly known as DSG International.

[Guest rferrett]

Nice! Maybe I should stop harranging the @adventvega folks on twitter!

What exciting times!

[Guest benjer172]

They came to see me. :)

P

Sounds a bit ominous? Were you expecting it, or did you just get a knock at the door and met by a couple of large gentlemen? ;)

[Guest Paul]

Haha, fear not, it was pre-arranged and very friendly! :)

[Guest arad85]

Good on them. Well done the Advent team - a refreshing change to see someone in a big company actually wanting to help.

[Guest removed-14]

Sounds promising. I hope this "cool stuff" arrives at Paul pace and not DSG delivery pace! :)

[Guest harmohn]

Great news Paul!

Good move by DSG,...will definitely help in establishing their tab brand :)

[Guest T4ylor]

Well if they have come to you then they must have realised what and difference that you have made and can still make to what started as a medioca tablet. All i can say is that i hope they are making worth for you because you've worked hard on this.

Well done Paul on behalf of all current and future Vega owner and well done DSG for recognising his hard work.

It's going to be exciting to see whats coming

I'm surprised they didn't ask to have your babies considering you saved them from a warehouse full of returned units.

[Guest bewA]

When will you be able to reveal what's coming? :)

[Guest unclebob31]

Well done Paul.

Not often that a major company goes out of the way to meet someone helping the community.

I hope they encouraged you!!

Thanks for everything so far Paul its been much appriciated

[Guest Bisto321]

This is really good.

I have been posting recently on the XDA SGT forum about recognition from manufacturers for Developers.

Dexter on XDA has saved Toshiba from many more returns of its folio tab with his great work and deserves recognition from Toshiba for it.

Paul has made an already very good and solid product even better.

Well done him and well done to Advent/DSG for being great with their support and their acknowledgement of this place.
