Video: Very clear, HD quality video playback with easy to use controls. I love the 'pinch/zoom' feature of the capacitive screen. Photos: Crisp and clear with very little distortion when zooming in. Responsiveness: It isn't as quick as an ipad but it responds very quickly under normal use.īattery Life: Everyday use for me includes reading, Angry Birds, recipes and lite internet usage and I only need to charge it every 2-3 days. Unfortunately responsiveness can be a little slow when connected to WiFi.īrowsing: The default browser is quick and responsive but lacks tabs that I prefer to use so I downloaded Dolphin HD. It pairs easily with other bluetooth devices and setting up WiFi connections is easy. I ended up downloading the current OS to my laptop then sideloading it to the tablet because it couldn't connect to wireless networks with out the update.
SIDELOAD ARCHOS 101 FIRMWARE UPDATE UPDATE
There are several other places to directly download apps from, (Amazon is my favourite) and some allow you to sideload the apps from your pc or laptop.Ĭonnectivity: Once you update the OS (software) connecting isn't an issue. However if you already have a Gmail account you should be able to access the Android Apps Market. It isn't an issue if you 1) only 'purchase' free apps or 2) keep very close tabs on how much you're spending on apps. Not bad but they require you to allow $200 worth of purchases and you can not reduce this amount. To give you a fair review of this product I have broken it down into several sections that I feel are important for others to take into consideration before making a purchase.Īpps Store: In order to access the Archos Appslib (pre-installed) you must create an account and tether your Paypal account to it. I bought this tablet three months ago because I wanted something for ebooks, internet and sharing images of my products.

Great tablet if you can't, or don't want to, spend a lot for an ipad.
