    Does anyone know if this version has Flash pre-installed? That listing has now finished but there is another one up there. Have emaile to ask them but no response yet so thought I'd see if anyone here knows.

    I heard that the version of Android this comes with is actually a custom version of 2.2 that is a lot worse than the original.

    How easy is it to upgrade to Honeycomb, I'm in IT, but am a total noob when it comes to Android..... I want a tab with Honeycomb (Ideally a Asus Transformer) but most Honeycomb tabs are >£350

    I don't know, I just read that they released a version without it - is it easy to download?
