Guest C_G Posted April 14, 2011 Report Posted April 14, 2011 After doing some research, I found this company from China who is selling the OEM version of the Advent Vega/PoV Mobii. I contacted them by chat and I asked about (future) Android 3.0 support: ..... Me(2011-4-14 11:32:34) Could I ask you a question about the 10inch Nvidia Android 2.2 Cortex A9 Capacitive Bluetooth WiFi 3G Tablet PC? Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:32:48) yes Me(2011-4-14 11:33:16) Can you tell me about future updates? Are you working on Android Honeycomb/3.0 support? Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:33:51) no,it is Android2.2 right now ,when its new software come out then can upgrade to 3.0 Me(2011-4-14 11:34:11) But you will support android 3.0 in the future? Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:34:29) because some famous brand forbid google to release android3.0 to us Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:34:35) yes,of course Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:35:30) such as Samsung,if we get this android3.0 software then samsung can not sell as well as now Me(2011-4-14 11:35:55) ok, so when 3.0 is released you will support it Cathy Shaw(2011-04-14 02:36:07) yes,correct .... They also say the following in the product description: Operating System Android 2.2 Froyo (can upgrade to Android3.0 when new software come out) So I guess they want to port/develop android 3.0 for this tablet in the future.
Guest add.thebad Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 So I guess they want to port/develop android 3.0 for this tablet in the future. lets hope so. im attempting an sdk port atm but im too tired now will try and finish tomorrow. no idea what will happen, have never done anything like this befor its all come from alot alot of reading and going wrong
Guest Vansphone Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 It's made by a company called Shuttle I wonder if that the same Shuttle that made those good looking small form factor PCs a few years ago?
Guest Vansphone Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 I read through a MoDaCo Asus Transformer thread yesterday. There are a few ex Vega owners doing comparisons. To my surprise one of the negative point a few of them have mentioned is Honeycomb. It sound like it was rushed out and still needs some work. They talk about forces closes and lag.

Pfft, I get force closes and lag on Froyo. :)
Guest Vansphone Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Pfft, I get force closes and lag on Froyo. :) Yes, Vega force closes are a lot cheaper than Transformer force closes. Much better value for money :)

Had a play with the Asus transformer to day at The Gadget Show Live, seemed quick and smooth to me though obviously there's a difference between 5 minutes playing and everyday use. Distinct lack of apps installed on it though.

Distinct lack of apps installed on it though. I completely forgot about the Gadget Show Live. Is it worth a visit? I played with a Transformer at my local PC World. Like you I was surprised by how few apps were loaded. However in my 10 minute play it did have one forced close.

There's some half decent stuff at the gadget show, but on the whole its just like a big market stall full of people selling things moderately expensively. i did get a hands on play with the new samsung 10" tab and a pre production htc sensation. there's definately an impressive responsiveness and speed from these newer builds, so should be nice to see it trickle down to the vega.

Good opportunity to look (and play) with some of the latest tech. Not sure its the place to be buying stuff, though i was tempted by the flying drone controlled by the iPhone :)) not so tempted by the 300 quid price tag though. The live show is good for a giggle and theres plenty of free stuff to be won if you're happy to get up on the stage.
Guest Shaizer Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 Reading through the previous posts it seems as though the main reason we don't have honeycomb on our vegas right now is the big companies like motorola and samsung, reading C_G's chat log it seems as though Google has sold out like any other company :) I hoped that with the entering of Larry Page there would come a new era of having complete openness in google software.
Guest SeiferTV Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 People, don't panic, it's not like honeycomb it's been out forever. If google doesn't release the source code ( on a personal note, I think they will ) a port is always an option, right? just don't get desperate, they're most likely trying to boost the sells on the mayor tablet companies ( Motorola, Acer, etc ) PATIENCE
Guest warriorscot Posted April 17, 2011 Report Posted April 17, 2011 I wouldn't say they have sold out I doubt money changed hands. There issue is with platform integrity which is a valid concern as it is a risk with open source software. They want to make sure that the Android brand survives and that the quality is maintained so they are slowing things down and laying better groundwork for 3.0 and future releases.
Guest SeiferTV Posted April 19, 2011 Report Posted April 19, 2011 You guys most likely know about this by now, but here I go: http://www.fudzilla.com/notebooks/item/220...o-get-honeycomb Same device as the Vega, so I'm guessing it's good news for everyone.
