    The CPU very very very old so avoid unless you like watching paint dry.
    Worth a maximum of £100.

    However the 10" Advent Vega should be at least twice as fast as the Ipad so well worth every penny. The 7" Vega I think uses the older iPad CPU .

    In fact cynical me thinks T J Hughes might have priced it for a half price sale later in the year.

    Your comment about the iPad being slow , I beg to differ that . My iPad is no slower than my laptop , loads pages immediately . I am using it now and guarantee when i press submit it will load my new page within 1-2 secs

    The iPad works fine for the web. Especially if if it is not slowed down by Flash running.
    The Vega might be 2 1/2 times as fast as the iPad but still slower than a half decent netbook.

    Amazon are still selling the expandable 8GB iPad CPU enabled Archos 5 (a bit like a Dell streak?) at £130. I'm not sure if it becomes obsolete next month but it is currently the best sub £200 tablet by far.
  • I saw these one bay from Uk seller if its any help to anyone , most of them on there are chinese sellers
