    Anyone got any thoughts?

    I want something with a capacative screen, full Flash player, and something like 1.2 processor speed to be able to watch streamed TV

    Anyone bought anything cheaply recently that fits the bill?

    Cheers

    As cheap as possible lol

    I want a capacative screen, a good enough processor to stream enough data for live tv and access to full android market

    So far have found something on e-bay for about 170 but only a 7" screen, would have liked 9" ideally

    Yes to market but no idea on live TV. Cant see why not though what with the Nvidia Tegra2, being dual core and having hardware acceleration.

    Oh, i should probably point out that the stock ROM on the tablet isn't Honeycomb, and from memory doesn't have full market access. But once flashed with "Vegacomb" it does.

    Well I have just bought an almost new Advent Vega already loaded with VegaComb and I,m using it right now :-) however it doesn't,t have Flash? Initial search suggests that installing Flash 11 can be a problem do I need 10.1? How to I get it or does it need to be flashed with a different build :-(

    You can get Flash from Google Market, its a free install - just search for flash and it'll be the first result most likely.

    Think I've got 11.1 on mine, and i cant think of any issues i've had with it?

    It will be open source though Mike, dont forget that, just like Android. Which means it will be a messed about with unreliable piece of crap.
