Advent VEGA Tablet PC
I have just received an Advent VEGA tablet that I am trialing for work. The idea is to use it as an electronic clipboard for tasks and as a checklist device for reviewing systems. This will primarily be used via an intranet page on our server so special appliiains are not a priority.
We wanted a cheaper alternative to an ipad but with similar features, and I think this could be the solution!
Initial testing is positive, it is easy to use, relitively fast (ok not quite so much as an ipad but certainly faster than some others I have tried) and it seems robust.
One main disappointment is the lack of google market place out of the box but there are ways round this for installing apps so its not a show-stopper.
Typing is quick and responsive (i'm typing this post on it now) although occassionally you will have to be a bit more 'positive' pressing the likes of the home button for it to respond.
Wireless LAN setup without any issues and internet access is very useable. I think it may get borrowed for some weekends for living room browsing......
