Review: Advent Vega

After three days of heavy usage, we felt it was time to write a review of the Advent Vega, the "own brand" Android 2.2 tablet being sold for £250 by DSG (Dixons, Currys and PC World) in the UK.

Screen

The screen is of average quality, however, the colours aren't as vibrant as the ZTE Blade screen for example. Viewing angles could be better, however, this depends on how you intend to use the device.
