I was able to get some information from Viewsonic via a direct message on twitter. Please understand, that if you ask Viewsonic about this publicly, they will more than likely deny it:

Cool.... I'll start on the ubuntu ROM....
Um why not just make it public? Things like this make me wonder...
Really hope this is legit! Then the fun can really get started!
what does this mean? does it mean the kernel will be unlocked and we can overclock? or use the 2nd core?

It means that they are going to release the Kernel Source and we can compile our own kernels.

TnT and VEGAn are both using the 2nd core as far as the devs know.

I think so that they don't have to release it by then if something comes up.

Does this mean we could finally get a "stock" Android build, with Market and everything integrated?

Market is typically disabled on all non-phone or non-3G devices by Google. That's why we have to hack a fix to make it work. Google has stated many times that they do not want marketplace on any non-phone or non-3G capable device. That might change with Android 3.0, but for now, we're stuck hacking the fix.
Ooh please let this be true. Kernel source + Froyo AOSP would make me a VERY happy camper. For that matter kernel source + TnT Lite or VEGAn would make me just as happy!

Well, that remains true as of right now.
However, barnes and noble are supposedly releasing a 2.2 + market update to their nook color in january. and for $250. that is a hell of a good deal.
I have also seen people saying they have the market and then come to find out. they didnt have it legally. but i dont thing a big wig like barnes and noble would do that.
it would seem that google is easing up on its market access. realizing that we have tablets now. and we want to fully utilize them now. not whenever 3.0 comes out.
AC had an article that the Nook won't be getting market after all, but will get 2.2.
Anyway this is great news!

The Nook will be getting a "market" but it will not be the Google Market. It will be like what Viewsonic provided for the G-Tab.

hey guys
im thinking of possibly buying the vega but wanted to know if theres any chance of it getting honeycomb?
The Froyo build on the Vega is AOSP (slightly modified) using the Nvidia reference libs. So until Honeycomb hits AOSP even the OEM doesn't know how it will work. When they do know they will tell the rebadgers (POV/Advent/etc) and then we may find out.
Unofficially we'll probably know shortly after Honeycomb drops in AOSP because we'll try to get a build running.
I have been holding off myself as it doesnt look to be running that great even on the cooked ROMS. I have been stung before waiting for a ROM upgrade or fix that never came. Not going to buy this until it gets a decent honey rom.
Well, mine runs great. Bang for buck, im super happy.
Performance is good n fast, and it does what i need it to do. Not sure where you got the idea it doesnt run well.
Id love to see honeycombe etc, but if they dont appear for the vega, ill still be happy with it.
Dont be off put due to lack of a particular rom

Then save your cash for another tablet. You know the old tale of buying a device for what it is supposed to be able to do in the future and not for what it does now? It tends to have sad endings

It runs just perfectly fine on the default roms and addons imo. It should be able to run honeycomb and I think it will in time... but there are no guarantees.
It's a fine device as it is now already though.
I've been playing around now for a day with my Vega. A very good device for it's budget!
getting honeycomb would be the ultimate treat for this sweet tablet
Let's just hope for now..
The vega isn't that bad, bang for buck its great, but the screen is horrible and ruins it big time.

True, the screen leaves alot to be desired, and I would have paid €50 extra for a superior screen, but really, for the price I paid, the tablet is awesome.

Yep, as reported here: http://www.fudzilla.com/notebooks/item/22069-point-of-view-mobii-tegra-2-to-get-honeycomb
I'd rather hear news by Advent. I have nothing against POV, but at least I know Advent has delivered once what they promised (source code in the end of January).

from my small under standing i dont think i would be to hard to compile for the vega since it is similar to the xoom which 3.0 was built for and their is no need to get gps or data working which should speed things up
Here another good hint on this

I honestly dont care about honeycomb, all I want next on the Vega is Gingerbread. Any Ideas on that possibility?

If you look in the Developpers forum you'll find Cyanogenmod 7 has been out for some time. That's Gingerbread.
And I'm responding to you right now from it
Does Anyone know where/if i can buy the Advent Vega on France or Switzerland?
i have some family on holidays there and they're coming to my country with the ability of taking one here to me
If u know please help me
Thanks
Hi there.
The advent vega is generally a uk product, i here it is available in some European countries. You need to look for a POV Mobii which is basically the same thing and available all over mainland Europe.
Check the retailers out at the pov site here: http://www.pointofview-online.com/default2.php?content_id=4
Good luck

Depends what you want from a tablet, if you want the best android tablet around for the cheapest price, and are happy to root and put on custom roms then yes, get one.
If you want a device that works like an ipad out the box then no don't get one.
Thanks..
I have decided I will buy it.. Can you guide me a link to install a custom rom which is stable and good.. As you are using one.. you must know..
Thanks,
Ash

i suggest the asus transformer.
I think 'cheap' is the magic word here...
so I guess a A-label like Asus is already too expensive.

you are right... I was looking at zt180 may be ramos w10 but for this one theren't enough rom and no honeycomb rom
Nook Color. Refurbished on B&N, $200. New, $250.
It's got honeycomb, froyo, cm7, and MIUI. Just no camera, and no 3g/mobiledata.
I second the nook. No tv out but over all a great deal. Can find it for 185 sometimes. Also the cases are discounted. Screen is nice and if you by a tablet with a crappy screen you will definitely regret it.
Again, Nook Color.
Thanks you all!
it's not popular in europe but in fact is excatly what I'm searching

Oh, don't be mean. ;^ ) I purchased a really nice early Tegra two tab before Honeycomb or the Xoom were released and for a variety of reasons, development on it just died completely and that's it. I had done my research but I was an early adopter and took a chance and...oh well....there are a lot of "deals" out there, and the desire to have an android tab can be strong.
