 Really??? September 2, 2010
Kyle Jarvis (ORLANDO, FL, US)
Don't waste your money! Stick to your Motorola Droid if you like the Android software.
It's a love hate thing with me and the Archos..... September 2, 2010
Colleen M. Schneider (San Lorenzo, CA USA)
Well, suffice to say, this review is later than it would have been as after a week or so of enjoying this unit it had what my non-techy self would call a "meltdown"....it got hot and shut itself off, never to reboot again. No hard reset, no amount of coaxing or cursing would make it come to life, so off it went back to the company for a fix/replacement. In about a week or so we had a new unit, which my husband swears is a refurb. This unit seems to lose the internet connection when the whim strikes (did not have this issue at all before). So, here, are my pros/cons for this little unit....
Pros: nice compact design, great to download my vacation photos and take to work or have with me, downloads music, plays movies, I can surf the net when my home computer is in use...perfect for me as I sit in bed.
Cons: drops the internet connection for no reason that my techy sidekick husband or I can figure out, touch screen sometimes just sticks, though usually works ok.
Overall if it worked consistently I would be happy with the unit, but I am often found cursing at the screen, so I give it a 3 star....I enjoy it when it works and when it doesn't, well, I have visions of a sledgehammer.....

All I really wanted was a MP3 player. What the tablet had in store for me was awesome! I love it! It's wonderful for videos. I use it on the go, at home, everywhere! It's really, really good. Better than iPod. Only con is no accelerometer.
fun little gadget August 28, 2010
S. Richards (Florida)
When I saw this little tablet and how cheap it is I just had to order one.
I love being able to watch TV and see something I want to look up and just pick up the tablet. The size it perfect for me.
I do think it was petty of Archos not to include a sleeve to keep the device in while not in use, I keep mine in a Royal Crown sack for now until I can get something from ebay. I will not buy the case from Archos just on principal....
The AppsLib has lots of neat stuff to play with, I wish that the tablet could gain access to the Android Market. I have found other apps like You Tube, Skyfire, Opera and others just by searching for the apk file or using the torrents.
Video is beautifully displayed, this will come in handy on trips while my wife takes her turn driving.
I have not used it as a reader, it is a little too heavy to curl up and hold up to read. Get a dedicated reader, the e paper is better for reading and no eye strain, and the battery lasts for weeks. I love my Sony Touch Edition.
Finally in regards to Amazon, I have been a frequent customer for over a decade and no problems until this order. I took advantage of the free shipping and after three weeks and two emails to customer service I was FedEx'd one over night and surprise, they both show up on the same day. I refused one and all was made right.
In closing, if you want a fun little gadget to do some surfing, watch some movies or show off some photos get it. Just remember, this is not a laptop replacement.
No Complaints (B+ Grade) August 27, 2010

This home tablet is a computer, television and great internet browser in one. Great for traveling and home use. The hardest part is just figuring out how to use it and hook it up correctly. For an electronic device, it's pretty handy and I think Ipad users would get a kick out of this.
