The Vega was probably my best tech buy for about a decade. Something that has genuinely changed how I spend my free time. I used to spend a couple of hours a night slumped in front of the TV, now I still do that, but I can check IMDB and Wikipedia while I'm doing it. Joy.”
I've never (obviously) run out of RAM, and more internal storage wouldn't be required if Android wasn't so stupidly designed - I think the memory allocation is the one reason why it isn't truly suited to use as a "serious" tablet PC.
Its damnably irritating to have to use Apps2SD or Links2SD on such a regular basis.
I'm doing the same - happily watching a film (on the netbook, connected via HDMI to the TV), and browsing wikipedia or IMDB for information on what I'm watching.
Benchmarks tend to put the Vega at a similar level of performance to the Xoom, will be nice when Vegacomb gets it next update and we can push the CPU beyond 1.2gHz again.
