For a week I did it and I'm completely thrilled:
+ Makes an overall qualitative impression
+ The display is large enough to properly surf on normal web pages yet
+ As an organizer / calendar I have installed from the App Portal Jorte
+ Software as Aldiko eReader met my expectations to an e-reader software completely
+ Colour Notes to jot down notes, I use now also intensively
+ The touch display funktionier very good (at least I think that, I have no comparative figures)
+ The power supply has been Adapter for England, France and the rest of Europe!
+ Communication via WLAN with my other computers (on which I have network shares) is no problem
+ Wi-Fi works very well (I switch already wegem the power consumption) only when I need it - in other places was often grumbling that wireless is very poor. I believe that it is because WLAN is started when the machine goes into hibernation. I had the case already have and then simple WLAN off on Archos and switched on again, then everything went smoothly again!
A few small hurdles I had to overcome, however, but not change my Rating:
- For registration has been asked for the serial number. At first I was a little on the tube because there was none to be found on my back. Until I discovered the little leg that you can fold out of the rear. Among them is the sticker ...
- The installed calendar and contacts programs need an Exchange server. Since I did not know at first what that is, I had to get around a bit having trouble. But has placed quickly because it's fun to use the device
- The installed E-Reader Aldiko I had to time update. That goes with the app portal Although very simple and easy - for a newbie like me Android was the first but also a hurdle (after all, was advertised that the device is capable DRM also what the old Aldiko software yet failed!)
- The integration of a dictionary when e-readers would have been made yet
What I do not want to use and have not been tested according to is to watch videos on the device. Music and fortuitous View photos I made on the device - which works very well.
Overall a nice device to home on the couch or on the road all the important and Beautiful participating!
