[COMPARISION] Vega vs. Touchpad - TouchPad General

Hey guys.
Got a chance to buy an hp for £180. Would you say it was better than the vega? At the moment running vega comb I must admit I'm loving my vega! What are your thought please?

---

Much better mate....
The hardware of the tp is far superior to that of the Vega. Once Android is ported I'm sure we will have a honeycomb port in some fashion, and also ICS

I've got both and have handed the Vega to my wife now I am using the Touchpad pretty much full time.

---

i think vega's screen is pretty poor

---

Ok guys that's good.
What's the software like then? Is it as good as vegacomb?

---

Advent Vega
+1 Tegra SOC
+1 MicroSD Slot
+1 3G Sim
-1 512 ROM
-1 512 RAM

---

Hasn't the Vega got some limitation with wifi switching off when the screen is off?

You can't get android anything on it just yet.
I have both a G-tablet & a Touchpad. While I expect the Touchpad to be my favorite device once a fully functional Android rom exists, the G-tablet is my 'Go-To' device today.
I would still suggest getting the HP, but don't sell your Vega just yet.

I had a Vega and it didn't have a 3G slot, but by far and away the biggest -1 is the screen, it was terrible.

I think sooner rather than later. There is a very crippled pre-alpha build available that shows that it at least runs/boot and has multi-touch support.
the CM7 team has made some more advancements and has mostly functioning WiFi. you can check @dalingrin twitter feed for updates.

Also vega has hdmi output.... No tv out on the hp touchpad..... but that screen is a good +10 on the touchpad compared to the vega....

+1 Tegra SOC? I think the snapdragon processor on the touchpad is on par if not better than the tegra 2

cyanogenmod team made great progress with android being able to boot on touchpad as well as 10 pts multitouch and according to updates, made good progress on activating wifi on it but they also say there's still a lot to do... my advice too is to keep your vega if you really want android. I haven't received my touchpad yet.. but read webos is pretty neat and good but lacks apps
