Dixons Releases 7-inch and 10-inch Android Tablets in the UK

Here we go again. Yet another Android tablet to invade this innocent market. UK retailer Dixons has launched a couple of new Android tablets in the UK namely the Advent Amico and Advent Vega. The Amico is a 7-inch tablet that runs on the Google Android 2.1 OS, while the Vega is a 10.1-inch model with the Google Android 2.2 OS, a capacitive multitouch display and a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core CPU. The Vega also has a 1.3MP camera, Wi-Fi and an SD card slot. The Advent Amico and Advent Vega are priced at £129.99 ($207) and £249.99 ($398), respectively. Both models should be available starting November 1st, 2010. No idea on why one is using Android 2.1 while the other is running on Android 2.2.
