The Archos 70 does everything I wanted from him: internet surfing, listening to music (also Shoutcast), watching videos. So far everything is OK.
But it's also a princess and the pea. Very moody and picky. The first 2 weeks were almost a pain, constantly freezes, which could only be stopped by rebooting. Meanwhile, however, I come with the device clearly much better. You can learn how to have to deal with it: Sometimes carrot, sometimes whip. Without permanent care but nothing works.
Short to positive points:
The bundled software for music and video are surprisingly good, both from the optics, as well as handling. Without problems can thus access to network drives.
In general, the network support is very good.
The bundled software can also operate very smoothly.
The touch screen is very precisely and sensitively. No complaints here.
The negative points:
-No Market. He can indeed post-installation, but requires even permanent interventions.
-too Little RaM. The main shortcoming that also made to create the most to me at the beginning. However can be kept by manually exiting revolving programs under control. The supplied program "Performance Monitor" is well suited to. The best do not use live wallpaper, and can start only the most necessary Widgets.
-Partial Freezes. Obviously because of the memory, can never be completely avoided.
-The Keys are part of the touch screen, which may share a program hidden. Is me but so far only happened once.
Conclusion:
The Archos 70 is a lot, and also makes the part very well.
However, it is not a device that just does so. A certain desire to address afflict it, and also a certain capacity for suffering are needed. In various forums you will find very useful tips to help in everyday dealings.
Actually, I could forgive 4 stars. But you have to be honest that the device some, though usually to prompt weaknesses that the "just so" want to use does not do it for technology beginners and people a tablet recommended.
Therefore, in the final grade 3 stars, people who know what they want, and can also help pet symbol Add a star.
