UPDATE: And the instructions are live! You’ll need a PC and a bit of know how, but tell us how you get on if you’re feeling Advent-urous.
As Android tablets go, the Advent Vega requires something of a Faustian pact. Sure, you get high specs on the cheap, but you also don’t get Google’s core Android apps, including the Android Market so you can download many, many more. Except if you’re one enterprising hacker, you do! And he’s about to share the instructions.
User Paul over at the MoDaCo forums has managed to root his Advent Vega, and load it up with the Andorid Market, and all the core apps you’d hope for, like Gmail, Google Maps (and Navigation, though good luck without GPS) and the excellent Voice Actions. Paul says’s hes putting the instructions up today for others to try out, and you can bet we’ll be doing that with our own Advent Vega. Anything you want to know about it? Click here to see the unboxing and tell us!
