I'm moving on to my fifth tablet, the Motorola Xoom, so the Notion Ink Adam has to go. The hardware was the best so far out of all the tablets I've had, but after playing with the Xoom I'm dying to get my hands on one.
I'm selling my Wifi + LCD Adam which you can find at the below link. I've updated it to the Utopia ROM, but I'd be happy to change it back to the stock ROM. I'm based out of Texas and I've got a commercial FedEx account, so I should be able to get it to you pretty quickly.
Notion Ink Adam - LCD + Wifi for Sale

I'm happy to say my Adam is now sold!
Just in case anybody has missed it, Dixons have dropped the price to £199.99.
Quidco is also available at 3%, which brings the price down to £194.
I ordered mine this evening.
Vega price
That makes it a very attractive price now I'm sure... still think it was worth the 250 I paid

Now showing as unavailable.
They have reduced the flash version from £250 to £229 and the none flash version has gone up to £239.
Yeah it was a limited time offer to try to shift some of the non-flash stock they had
gutted
Paid full price a week before. Still worth it though.
I got mine mostly because of the availabilty of the custom roms.
I paid 280 to get my unit. But then I am not in th UK.
I cannot wait to play with it.
Got mine 200 dixsons sweete

Is it really worth it I had the 3g o2 gal tab and thought it was sooo sooo soo slow and I played with this vega in pc world and thought are you kidding me :/
where can I buy this tablet here in the US. I've looked every where... its only shipping in the UK
Advent is a company created by PC World in the UK. They don't deal outside the UK. If you absolutely want one then I'm sure someone will post one to you.
There are other tabs coming out in the US though, so you may be better waiting for that.

Thanks i'll wait
I just wanted post here in these forums that I'm looking to trade straight up for a Asus Transformer + Keyboard dock.
I paid $700 for the iPad 2 3G 16gb + Cover a month ago. Used it a few times on the couch but looking for something to tinker with.
Anyone in here want to trade their Transformer and Dock for my Ipad2 3G + Cover?
Mine is mint and I have all the boxes and included cables.
I posted this in the Marketplace also for a more general audience as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155802
So to recap it is a White 16gb iPad 2 AT&T 3G version + Ice Blue Magnetic cover.
I also haven't upgraded the iOS for jailbreaking possibilities. It is still running on iOS 4.3
PM me as I don't frequent these forums (yet!). Thanks.

[EDIT]
Anything I should know about models or anything or are they pretty standard? I'd hate to trade for a dud. Anything I should be on the lookout for?
morning bump. Wondering if anyone is interested in trading for the Transformer+Keyboard
http://anandtech.com/show/7176/nexus-7-2013-mini-review
Looks like the processor isn't actually the same as the Nexus 4 and shares a lot in common with the Snapdragon 600. Glad to see the display improvements as well.
Some highlights:
Display:
It turns out that the new Nexus 7 is actually very close to sRGB this time around, with overall gamut being just a bit bigger than the sRGB color space. In the GMB Delta-E and saturations Delta-E measures, arguably the two most relevant for color accuracy, the new Nexus 7 is second only to the iPad 4, and better than the iPad Mini in color accuracy, a significant step forwards from its predecessor.
The new Nexus 7 also goes very bright, up to 583 nits, with excellent contrast of 1273. This is again not achieved using any dynamic contrast cheating since those functions are thoughtfully disabled.

Processor:
the new Nexus 7 switches to Qualcomm’s APQ8064–1AA, a version with 4 Krait 300 CPU cores (yes, Krait 300, not 200) running at up to 1.5 GHz and Adreno 320 graphics. Rather than use a PoP and LPDDR2, this specific APQ8064 variant goes to PCDDR3L–1600 MHz instead, including 4, 4Gb discrete 1.35V SK-hynix DRAM devices off to the side (more on the opposite side of the PCB) adding up to 2 GB of RAM. Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro and Snapdragon 600 branding gets confused here, although Qualcomm is calling the APQ8064 inside the Nexus 7 (2013) S4 Pro, it's more like an underclocked or lower binned Snapdragon 600.

He is still working on battery tests, so those will either show up here or in a full review to come later.
Not usually one to buy a gadget sight unseen but after reading this review I'm really glad I ordered one.

Keep the feeling alive until the inevitable defect in all these first run units appears :good:
the S4 pro in the 2013 model is essentially an underclocked snapdragon 600! thanks to those krait 300 cores!!! thats a win!
Wow! Just read the entire article. New nexus7 is a beast. An all around great device.
What really caught my attention was some new thing with storage I/O called ftrim or something. This prevents the sluggishness and slowing down of device after its loaded with apps and stuff. So this nexus doesn't suffer the bottleneck like previous generation. Even better is that this is a software feature included in android 4.3. So even the older generation nexus7 "should" be fixed once updated to Android 4.3. This should breathe new life into the older models. Can't wait to flash 4.3 on mines and see how she runs.
The display, according to Anandtech, is nothing short of amazing. Even beating the ipad4 display in alot of areas. So a huge improvement from previous model.
What I really like is that there's actually Krait 300 cores. Although they calling it S4 Pro, its really an underclocked/low bin Snapdragon 600. Once this device is rooted and overclocked, expect to see its performance increase dramatically. As powerful as it is, could even be underclocked to achieve stellar battery life and still perform.great.
Thanks to OP for the link. I think this Anandtech mini review has put me over the edge on buying one. I especially want one now. Ill just flash 4.3 on older model.and give it to my father since he doesn't have a tablet and I know he'd enjoy it.
"Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day"
Awwww...
Anyhow, that's great news! OTG was also confirmed working. This thing keeps getting better!!
... and now the lack of European availability hurts even more! Superb little device, dear Lord!

I bought one with Amazon and comgateway to Australia. You could try the same if you're really eager. Mine should arrive in 5-7days. Fingers crossed.

Mine arrived at my comgateway address today, I gave them the OK to ship on the website just now.
Should arrive on 7th Aug they said.
The website is pretty easy to use, and you get 10% off on your 1st purchase and free upgrade to express.
Total cost of shipping includes the price they quote, 9% fuel surchage, and 0.65% fuel surchage.
Nexus 7 weighs under 700g, so they charge you for only one kg.
So $28 USD (price of 1kg) + $2.24 USD (fuel surcharge) + $1.48 USD (insurance) = $28.92 USD after 10% off
$28.92 x 1.09 (Australian conversion rate) x 1.03 (international transaction fee) = $32.41 AUD (TOTAL price for shipping)
That makes the total i've spent for the 16gb nexus = $288.07 AUD or $257.92 USD
So far it's looking pretty good, i'll update you when i get my package

No complains so far.

Both black and white models of the LG G Pad 8.3 are on sale at Newegg for $229.99
Great time to pick one up!
FYI, they come loaded with 4.2.2, if you don't want to deal with rooting and recovery in 4.4.2.
Added it to my cart, price went up $20 to $249.
Picked up a black one last week from Newegg. Loving it so far. FYI, I ordered it late Wednesday evening and paid a little extra for the 3-4 day shipping and I received it Friday morning.

That's The Final Nail In The Proverbial Coffin..
BestBuy has phased out the 8.3 completely on the U.S. West Coast.. There is ZERO supply available.
This makes the Newegg the sole supplier of V500 tablets in the U.S. and they are on "Fire Sale" there as well.
The Clock is Ticking.
I order mine and it will be this Tue.
Why is it on a fire sale? I am happy with the price and the black one is on sale again for same price.
I hope these sold well so LG will make a new one. I'm troubled by Samsung might be pushing out other manufacturers with their attack of the every size tablet. This is my first LG Android device and I like the lack of bloatware and smoothness it has. My only complaint is about the screen and the problem is software related (gamma) and not hardware related. LG could fix it by offering screen profiles like many LCD/TV manufacturers already do.
Went to Best Buy and they price matched it. I'm loving it.
