Customer Review

So, honestly, I did not want to really keep the tablet. Thought so, all have tablets, I watch the thing in time. So please, who are from a toy for domestic use 400.- to 800.- or more for nocht so. I speculate is actually that these types of tablets are so lying in a year by the 100.-, that would be a price I would find personally ok. But the hype surrounding these devices inspired the manufacturer, and if they are bought, why would you make then faster cheaper?

Now, after a long search, the Archos was shortlisted because I am not willing to spend more than € 250 and a 10 inch model it should be. So I bestellted my Archos 101 GB Turbo.
Imagine you buy a disgustingly expensive apple tablet or one of SUMSUN to 800.- or 900.- or more and your dog or your partner or child (please no value deduce ;-) sits down on it and it accidentally crunches really and then you have a tray with a concave curvature! 800.- Euro more expensive special, at best, as a flower bowl still usable! Better that part was more favorable because does it perhaps then not so much ....

Ok, the peripheral equipment is very modest: A USB cable, a mini description and the USB charger, that's it. Did not take my UMTS stick. I have such a mini-Fi / UMTS hotspot which can access the Internet charged by prepaid card and the data via WLAN can send to the tablet / PC. (An alternative that I can by the way recommend any, as I can use it for all Internet-compatible devices, but is also more expensive, such as: Huawei E5 mobile Wi-fi) Or you coupled it with his cell phone with a data plan, then it should go work out, the phone you anyway with most.

The operation with the new Android 4.0 is very easy and also for me an Apple / Win7 users very easy to handle. Who then made relatively quickly update to the latest version, which was also installed fix. Initially the screen was a bit "over-sensitive", even if the finger the screen is not touched it triggered an action. I calibrated the position sensor and the screen, then I updated nor the Archos firmware. Now the device is so far that you can run it very sensible.
The pre-installed "browser" is ok, the better Firefox (via apps), the Opera comfortable but more slowly. For daily emails look great, perfect for the Internet. Read articles, view photos, listen to music and even e-books in PDF format, all the best. Even live streams from the ORF TVthek fold wonderfully with the highest resolution! The screen is really cool, crisp and even at full brightness The contrast is there enough. Who it too reflects the intended stop sticking a film, do not störts.

Really negative is not really noticed by the updates / calibrations me now. Event. the high / low volume rocker is sometimes disturbing, since then unintentionally the tone up or turned down. Yes, mini-HDMI, micro-USB, jack for headphones what more could you ask for now. As the apple tablet can abschauen what because you need another "special adapters" then in white double costs as with other providers. Ok, an adapter from mini-HDMI to HDMI I worried about Amazon, which has now cost a whopping 2,25.-. Could you give it, but it is not now the world.
Fi and Blue tooth round off everything. I'm curious on the battery life. Currently he holds for surfing so around 5-6 hours. Let's see what that looks like in six months or a year. On the left is the processor and it shows, because that part is pretty hot there. I hope the engineers have the thermally considered with the life. Yes, well, the back camera is also missing. Great. Either one is an external cam attached to USB, or you let it. Who wants to make a tablet really photos? For skype reaches the Frontcam, for pictures you have a camera or a cell phone, right? Most of the photos, and the apple are useful only under the most favorable Lichtbedingunen, otherwise scrap. In addition, the more expensive turn the tablet, so this solution I prefer.
Even my wife is the part class, since she plays Tetris and solitaire it ;-)
Oh, for example, Google Earth works very well. The navigation app I tested, in the car ego have not tried, but should also fold only bräucht you a neat bracket and if I think so because of suction cups and sunlight: No good and solid construction!
Incidentally, the built-in folding stand is very convenient, albeit rudimentary. Stand and hope that nothing tilts! The idea is great only confidence in the shaky things is moderate. A second Kläpper would have brought more pure stability. For TV or look at picture goes, just for typing unsuitable, unless you remain always in the lower right pane.
Well, as I said, maybe you can treat the good part then another.

So I could say nothing that the Archos now would be worse than a SUMSUN or apple. Yes, yes, the quality.
You'Re Welcome!
Within a year such toys are at least technically Stone Age. Why the double or triple output so as to have a "Prestige Toy". But who needs it for ego or it's a paid, the company has just such a part in aluminum. Great. Therefore, the display also holds no delicate 80 kilos of body weight, or the departure from the table, right?

Incidentally, a tip: Buy the Archos and treat yourself to a quality (leather) bag. Since no one knows what's inside is for a device, you can see then anyway the screen. The Äpfler buy an outrageously expensive tray and pack it in an ugly shell where one sees neither apple nor Alu!
Can only say one thing, who want to have something like that is really operated sufficiently with the Archos. The microSD cards are also soon in resonable purchase area, so then!
