[kilerdriver5t]

can you call with it

[atomiccadaver]

to me they should sacrifice those gb's to make it thinner

[force2013]

is this wirth buying plzz tell me some one

[dylanandliam]

does this archos have a hd screen?

also do you need the tv snap on to watch tv?

[CHAPMANSTIG]

Does the archos 5 play flash games with ease or r they kinda laggy? becuase i realy like this gadget but i like the practability and reliability of the ipod touch help pls

[jimmey303]

they are kinda laggy depends how and were you get them

[frontmoney21]

Nokia n900 vs this?

[leodee]

This has no SIM-Card or Keyboard, N900 does and it more phone-like than the Archos

[a7madramadan]

@frontmoney21 not the same category , nokia is a phone archos is a tablet .... however nokia has a sim capabilities which the critical difference , if you don't need a phone get archos

[CHAPMANSTIG]

I read that the archos 5 eventually gets dead pizels and its hard drive eventually also fails i really wanted one of these but the reviews kinda put me off and the archos's service is meant to be dire is it seriously with it?

[tito0528]

hey is the web free???

[illmatic826]

I got one of these puppies for christmas from best buy im still getting used to it but I think its missing one thing to really make it the best mobile device ever and thats a camera if this thing had a camera it will be the best device ever

[musiqkb17]

@illmatic826 so its worth buying??? you didnt have any problems with yours?

[illmatic826]

@musiqkb17 no im not having any problems with it its pretty nice, but I dont wanna steer you wrong by telling you to go buy it because I think its great I bought it because I liked certain features on it BUT HELL YEAH THIS THING IS GREAT but if you do wanna invest in one see what all you like about it first then make your decision.

[lotsblocks]

angry that the touch screen is resistive.

[leodee]

Don't be, it's so sensitive you'd hardly know!

[lotsblocks]

ive used it before maybe for not long enough.. but it reminds me to much of the att quickfires screen

[Klonricket]

Nice unboxing Matt. The IMT seems pretty snappy in comparison to the Android version., I think the Android version is a work in progress. However, I do love my little A5A, warts and all.

Looking forward to the full review.

[leodee]

What does it say on the box genius?

[PandaBasher]

@Richard8485 it does actually say internet media tablet on the box you tit

[Klonricket]

The Internet Tablet is the Android version. The Internet Media Tablet is a Linux based OS that Archos made themselves.

[josephgrovers]

Why didnt you get the one with android O.o

[leodee]

Because this is a review device, you get what you're given. We should have the Android version soon, however, I've hear there are issues with it!

[MrPchelp21]

i love ur reviews sorry for a compliment lol :)

[RelentlessEruption]

tbh i think ipod touch/iphone is just as fast at internet and media playback. the internet interface also looks quite annoying.

[leodee]

iPod/iPhone has a smaller screen and lower res.

[brierboi]

@leodee but i prefer the ipod touch as a media player because i use it for all the apps i have, and i want to say thank you for taking your time to make all these videos u have helped me out alot cheers

[leodee]

I do agree with you, I would prefer to carry just one thing that does all...

[RelentlessEruption]

yeah but ipod/iphone is faster than that.

[leodee]

Faster in what respect?

[RelentlessEruption]

The interfaces, like it seemed very long winded to get to a certain website whereas on the iPod it's just type and go, just an example.

[tristar1215]

does urs restart randomly can u tell me please thanks

[flynnmac]

Very nice, I think id still prefer my nokia 5800 as it pretty much does all that the tablet does. :P

[TheDepreso]

Does it have GPS and maps?

[chylos]

Video is not playing Matt. could you fix it ?

[leodee]

You just got here too fast, before YouTube processed.
