Well, that's an interesting idea to run Remote Desktop on an Android tablet...but if you're doing that kind of work you really ought to switch to a proper PC or at least a netbook. Squinting at code on a tiny screen? No thanks.
hey i have a question would any blue tooth mouse be compatible with this device and if not could you send me a link to the website where you go the one shown in the video?
it comes with docking station, right? so i can hook to it various usb 2.0 devices if i want? nice video. it would be nice if this type of device had(maybe on docking port) a network ethernet port in case i need it should wifi capability doesn't work for some weird reason.
Would you know how to connect to vpn by any chance? I have Archos 5 IT with 2.0.15 frameware, but can't seem to figure out how to connect to work network via vpn. Thanks
its cool, but if this kind of control was an important factor, than i probably wouldn't be looking at the archos. the main reason i look to archos is because, unlike the rest of the world, archos hasn't decided that more than 32gb of space is not important in portable devices. i have to say, though, you've taken the archos well beyond i would have ever imagined using it.
I see no point in this. Just get a laptop? All this is is a slower version of a laptop with a TINY screen no built in keyboard and no mousepad. This is pointless to me.
on Amazon it says archos 5 500GB with Android has 4 hours of video playback (battery power).. while the archos 5 250 gb (non android) has 7 hour playback with video. why is that?
Also can i buy the archos 5 500GB with no Android featues? what exacly are the Android features vs standard archos 5?
wow this just blew my mind, I had NO IDEA this could support a mouse!!! Now when A device like this comes out with a 1Ghz processor and flash browser I'm 100% sold!!!
same thing on an iphone, with a 480x320, 3.5IN display, OR on an archos 5in display at 800x480 resolution. You don't even have to break it to get it to work. Androids will soon eat Apples.
Nice video! I was surprise to know that it can handle remote desktop! I'm thinking of getting one my self for reading PDF file (ebooks), watching videos, and listening to music a long with other things as well but I was wondering if its worth it to buy this to use as a portable PDF reader and hows fragile is the device? Also would the 16Gb be enough memory, how much memory is used by default? Thanks.
would of been helpful if you actually went through the steps you took instead of the blutetooth to set up the the RDP , and yes before you ask its enabled on PC im connecting to , its running XP
Really great vid. Just realized that this would fit pretty well in my pocket. Is the remote desktop performance much better over a network, approaching non-lagginess for graphical applications?
Great video -- I'm wanting to use the Archos for presenting media and not carry notebook around. 2 ?'s -- is there android app to run ppt with transitions and slide animation. 2. Can I use a remote to advance slides. Also want to run video clips during presentation -- can you switch between apps or build playlist including video -- thoughts?
How are you guys?! I am day trading stocks and I have two questions for you: Could StrategyDesk, a trade Platform from TD Ameritrade works with Archos5 nice and smooth?
Could Archos5 have a 3G module? Thank you in advance for your help. Manuel from California
@psychoboogie2 I wish I could demo Spotify. ... but it requires a premium account and those are not available in belgium.... As for the a2dp: yes, that's working fine

Any Android app below android 1.6 that doesn't rely on phone features or a camera will work.
the Archos5 doesn't have 3G, but thethering with a 3G phone over bluetooth works fine.
