Customer Review

There are things that make neither on the normal smartphone yet on the subnotebook fun. Depending on the features of the smartphone and private location (general admission for train delay vs desk) are: to work through by e-mail received PDF documents and thereby take notes, watch movies, write emails, make transfers, regulate the overview of your own tasks and keep.

That Android would be suitable as a platform, was determined using the Android SDK and the installation of some tentative Android apps on the simulated on the computer device.

Although I like the phone a handy, well-proportioned, robust, persistent and unequivocal voice quality bidding phone in hand and possibly would have the ear, I have certainly taken the class of 5-inch smartphones as an integrated solution into consideration. However, they seemed to me at the end of a bad compromise. So I wanted to phone a tablet.

Although I was not sure to be able to trust the reviewers here, was one of the two tablets that I ordered a trial basis, the Archos 70th

I'm excited:

+ It fits into all of my coat and jacket inside and outside pockets-to sometimes just show the ticket to pull out your wallet or ... to answer the phone ... or or.
+ Although not elegant, but it works unobtrusively and not totally cheap.
+ If I take it into the hands of its form factor signaled to me at once that it will be used.
+ I can write on 7-inch screens in landscape mode on the virtual keyboard quickly and stress and error free; does not apply to the 5 inch nor 10 inches (10 inches is then upended an option, clear).
+ It dominates the USB host mode.
+ It provides, with regard to my own stock, a careless media support.
+ The camera does not interest me particularly, and is good enough for occasional video call.
+ The stereo sound to the front is measured by the device class, good, especially since you can adjust it loud enough.
+ The sound quality of the headphone output is measured with Sennheiser in-ears and my ears, strong (but dry) in the bass and a little weak in the treble; with manual adjustment of the equalizer but I am quite happy (hey, an MP3 player costs half ...)
+ The machine keeps clean three different volume settings.
+ Battery performance meets my expectations.
+ The Perfornanz of the system is adequate. That the device gets a sweat when you Clouds & Sheep starts while K9 masse downloading emails via SSL and Android is the way decided to stop Dolphin, is obvious to me and does not bother me. In normal operation, all for me is running smoothly and fluently. Tagesschau-videos can be bidschirmfüllend smooth look on the normal site (not app). (However, not all providers make the effort to keep the coding efficiently ... some flash videos have unacceptable frame rates.)
+ I am not yet come up against real limits of 256MB RAM; dynamic management works well for me (yet);
+ The wireless display is rather understated, and the data throughput even when a bar is still well under certain circumstances; I have in no place in my apartment poor reception, although only one bar appears in some places.
+ That my WLAN is hidden, was not a problem for the initial setup; simply add a WLAN manually and System Update will then stop a minute later rather than immediately.
+ Bluetooth Tethering (Internet through the mobile phone via Bluetooth) is seamlessly integrated, works absolutely fast and smoothly (test with two cell phones).
+ In the APPLIB I have much found what I was looking for, without that I would have any data required to file; the invitation to create an account, you can apparently harmless break (thank you, Archos).
+ The whole device is only once without Google account - simply fantastic.
+ Fully-fledged market can be set up via ArcTools from APPLIB, but then requires a Google Account.
+ The virtual keyboard can be "pulled over the top row also" expand numbers and special characters whose normal assignment - what a neat feature (you just have firstonce draufkommen).
+ At the system stability, there is nothing to complain about my experience.
+ Resolution, display, touchscreen quality and "zoom-ability" I find also (for testing purposes) Web-Email and financial websites very well, given the mobility of the device; a slight "delay" in the operation, I suppose there willing to accept.
+ Screen brightness, hmm, would be better, but who but Samsung makes it really much better?
+ Viewing angles of the screen adequate for the price.
+ What must be bitteschön fast rotation speed? For me it goes well.

My enthusiasm is undimmed therefore, because I research and imagination have not deterred things out or to taste; Market Access and virtual keyboard are here safe topics.

Why not Archos 80? - It does not fit into his pockets and I do not need his other additional features.

But on the contrary. Now I feel a bit like when I was traveling with a perennial Nokia 6310i and a Palm Tungsten T3. The mobile phone tucked in your pocket and on the palm was surfed via Bluetooth tethering and written emails. Only that was not yet called tethering, but was quite normal, and that it is much more powerful today. (Bluetooth tethering is misjudged by both sellers as well as much of the user. Whoever said that is supposed to be a bottleneck, should consider EDR and the fact that the Archos also has to do something with the data ... eg large scale graphics and rendering, while the user scrolls and zooms impatiently ... not to mention the fact that the application for such a mobile device combination is often enough that you are traveling and only there EGPRS has available, and that latencies in the presentation typical sites can hardly be reduced with vielein individual objects aka pictures by high data throughput.)

Conclusion: A great, flexible, media-compatible Mega organizer with Internet access via mobile phone, of all my desires and obstacles as a traveler (complete task overview, email creation offline asynchronous sending and receiving, working through Office documents, practical support for financial transactions , media support) to support pleasing enough ... and disappears within one second with the screen is locked in the inside pocket, while he retrieves emails (setting "-> Tethering -> Prevents your device to sleep").

Den I give her no more!
