How did you get a wifi connection when you were in the ca..? do they have 3g

[stppalautus]

onko toi nyt sitten kapasitiivinen vai resistiivinen kun ei oikein archosin sivuilta selviä asia?

[jkkmobile]

@stppalautus resistiivinen.. eli jos 5 tuumaista haet, osta mielummin Dell Streak tai Samsung 5.0

[OneManShowShow]

been consideing this or dell streak 5. comparison insights? I'd get dell straight off if it had higher capacity.

[jkkmobile]

@OneManShowShow Streak is way better with capacitive touch, real buttons etc..

[OneManShowShow]

@jkkmobile I'm getting an archos. the new g9s are sick. (look sick, at least). I also like the archos company.

[InMooseWeTrust]

Can you use a GPS without having a data plan on a phone?

[jkkmobile]

@InMooseWeTrust It is not a phone nor it has data plans..

GPS works as standalone.

[patrkcirtap]

@itSzS1iCkxP yes

[itSzS1iCkxP]

[taha1112]

[AznVi3tx]

[T1AOSUPERGUY]

[CFORDv]

can you install apks from the browser?

[einis5]

Hei! Ootkos suomalainen ku huomaan että katsot Suomen karttoja tuossa laitteessa ja näin sun maa su kanavasta? :D Voiks auttaa? Onko Flash Player? Jos ei niin saako YouTube sovelluksen ja onko FM radio ja Skype siinä suoraan, voiko asentaa millään tavalla 2.2 versiota Androidista? :D

[einis5]

Can install Google Android 2.2?

[Akumpula]

So with the hacked GPS does it load the route before you leave a Wifi area? Or does it talk to satellites because it's hacked? Sorry for double post. Or is there free Wifi in FINLAND?!

[Akumpula]

A FINLANDER?! Awesome! My family is from Finland. Love the info vids! Very helpful.

[jordantruong335]

hey can you connect the archos 5 to a iphone 3gs via bluetooth and use the iphone's internet???

[MriBackup]

Can you put Android 2.2 (Froyo) on it?!

[Hotobu]

I'm very tempted to get one of these. Where is are good places (preferably a forum or two) where I can keep up with developments on this device?

[SLJ2081]

new download is now out to install android onto htc hd2 leo look it! /watch?v=SfSSkeBbN10

[aguirrea]

how do you install android to a standard archos 5? it is a firmware upgrade? or you have to buy a new version?

regards

[joeymjones]

what's the difference between a capacitive and resistive touch screen display? is one a soft screen where you have to press harder and one is more like the iphone or ipod touch, with a hard glass-like screen cover?

[wertez86]

@joeymjones the main difference is that a resistive screen can be used with a pen and it is not multi touch

[linglingjr]

So will theses hacks work with any archos or is it only the "android" one if I got a old one will theses hacks still work thank you

[linglingjr]

so can you download movies like you could on a jailbroken ipod touch? like off of tysiphonehelp would that work?

[jkkmobile]

@linglingjr yes, u can downloas movies to it

[gpmoo7]

What you are saying about GPS is false.

The Droid has A-GPS with the 3G connection so that's why you get the location.

When you see a blue circle in Google Maps, that's because you don't have GPS location but only 3G location. When you get the GPS location in Google Maps, it only shows the blue arrow.

[Transcdent]

Hej masz wersje po POLSKU tego filmiku??

[ayeziengamer]

I just bought the archos 5 android and im abit warry about hacking it. Will it void the warranty?

[samir9382]

hey, is it a capacitive or a resistive display?

[jkkmobile]

soft resistive

[Lildaraw]

Lol at the subtitles!!

[Yarfangor]

Hey, I noticed that everyone who wants to put movies, and such on their archos all have DVR or docks. Do you need a dock for your archos in order to put things from you PC to your Archos? or does it have a USB port where you can charge/ put movies, music, etc... on it?

[chandra1971]

Hellooo

Can you thetering this Archos 5 Android with iPhone using PDANet or MyWII on iphone.?

Thanks

[jkkmobile]

No, you can only teather it with phones that use dial up networking.. like nokia phones..

[snowman4839]

Do you have to have a network connection for the turn-by-turn GPS or does it pre-download the maps so it will work anywhere?

[Boonchocks]

video is awesome. i like how you do the outside sometimes, but not too much. it is goo amount of outside and later car drives. i makes it seem real professional; like a tv show.

[ridezko]

shave time

[rbsis]

I like how you start the videos by being outside sometimes. :P

And it looks like someone's growing a beard haha. Looks good.

[CiphersSon]

Is the SSD faster than the HDD one? The reason i ask is some ARE slower and faster than others. What type of flash do they use ect ect...

[HeroesFail]

It's not an SSD, it's just flash memory. But yes, it is significantly faster.

[CiphersSon]

@HeroesFail Hmm that leaves me to question...because i had a 1st gen eeepc and over time it became quiet noticeable that the i/o read times had degraded.Choices...to many chioces :-)

[MustLovePoop]

you should play the next james bond, but you've been bitten by a vampire and you've turned but still has good intentions
