  • Can I see videos of youtube in it?

  • Lol im using this one on school, i will get it free when i finished my

    hours of work xD

  • Why review a product when you haven't had time to check out all the functions....That killed the review for me! Not running anything on it yet!.....waste of time

  • We use those in the school :D

  • can he play 1080p?

  • I just got this tablet for Christmas and I would say that it is an awesome tablet! I absolutely love it!

  • does it have a camera on the back?

  • @13WOWman no this tablet does not have a rear camera.

  • Dont know whats better archos 70 or archos 101 ?????

  • @SirKingOfLols i have briefly tried both. i preferred the 101 because it was faster. i couldn't find a full sized USB slot on 70 but there is 1 or 2 (i don't remember) on 101. there is a camera on the the front and back. but one thing about 70 is that the touch screen to slide the screen it is easier. hope it helped

  • And is there the posibilety op a 3G usb??? TY

  • @speedgang10 the new one

  • Does it plays youtube i realy wanna know ....? TY

  • did it come with a screen protecter on the screen

  • you can also just install flash for free on android market

  • It is OK for budget Tablet, but won't suggest over iPad. I felt iPad screen wasn't right for watching movies due to screen aspect ratio. So, bought Archos, but screen quality in this somewhat leaves you hungry for more after you see the video quality from iPad. Yes, I know that iPad is expensive and it's obvious to have good quality. I'm just saying that if you are thinking to use solely for movies like I did, you might be bit disappointed. So, I suggest to invest bit more if you can.

  • quick question does it support the android appstore ?

  • @Twonzeey Yes!! Absolutely

  • is it worth it? and can you download things like on the pc like skype etc?

  • @THEjonasS11 Yes Android supports Skype too. I'm currently using it on my Samsung i9000,

  • @gyurxi551 samsung galaxy i9000 ;o? and is this worth it?

  • @THEjonasS11 Absolutely. I just bought because all work meeting is on Skype. But I have google map, angry birds, office, alarm clock and you can snooze only with a lamp :) , layar, compass and working as bike computer, diary,.. :)

  • is the archos 101 worth buying for christmas, its £150 where i am.

  • Hey I have a quick question, would you recommend the 101 Archos more over the 70 or vice versa. I wouls be using it more at home, but I don't want bad be viewing angles. Is the 7" and 10" a dramatic difference? Please answer, thank you.

  • How do you download movies onto your Archos 101???

  • NO FLASH!!!!! >:(

  • @MichaelDriskell1997 Here is now froyo update and you will have flash too.

  • @gyurxi551 I see lol, I bought one recently.

  • This with Android 2.2 has the flash support as far as im aware.. And as this is android there is a youtube app for the guy that asked below.

  • Does it have youtube built in or some kind of app to download to access youtube ??

  • like for hating cnn!

  • whats better 101 or 80 g9

  • what is the ''Lazer A101B 10.1'' which is similar to archos? i don't get it...does it have the same features with archos?

  • Will this support words, and ppt? Also when u say it does not support flash, can i not watch youtube videos on it? I am really into getting one but I am just worried if i dont make a good buy

  • Thanks man this was so helpful

  • Just bought mine 2days ago at HMV for £129,I ve downloaded the new firmware n google market ,now I have Skype, youtube, Yahoo etc...3times cheaper than Apple,I LOVE it!!!Next January I get the 9gen.

  • Just wondering, could it be used to take notes? Perhaps for classes? And if so, would the on screen keyboard be good enough to type somewhat fast?

    A lesser question as well, does it get skype?

  • @aceman1427 I expect the onscreen keyboard would probably be good enough, but if you find it isn't, the USB port will accept a regular USB keyboard.

  • can you get skype on it

  • The KICK STAND is very convenient. All tablets should have kick stands

  • @zeretmusicent Is it worth to buy?

  • @zeretmusicent The iPad will never have one 'cus Apple can sell a separate stand for half again. Not hatin'.

  • How can you review a tablet after only owning one for a day?

  • @comicbookguyz ive only had mine for less than 24hrs and i feel like i know it in and out. Having experience with android operating system really speeds things up

  • Does it have a camera on the back?

  • @andreavmusic no unfortunately not, however the one built in the front is only a mere 0.3 megapixels but it does the job i suppose

  • @andreavmusic no camera on the back. Just one horrible one on the front for video chat

  • i liked that you mentioned the French co. I did not know that about archos and knowing that's its french (like Petzl, the best headlamp brand), is a huge incentive helping me determining with the possibility of getting a tablet. I have many many gigabytes of photos and data to store on it so possibly one with larger storage capacity would be possibly more appropriate.

  • Hi can you help. The trash can is missing on my Archos 101 desktop. How can I get it? I've already reset the tablet once because the first time I made a complete mess. Now every thing is fine, just that trash can is missing! I have the latest firmware update. Thanks.

  • @ludvan67 Sorry to have bothered you. I found out that the trash can appears as if by magic when you want to delete an icon

  • I had the archos 101 for 3 months, i just have to say that purchasing this tablet was my worst mistake of 2011. Extremely slow response, device freezes, after watching youtube the device crashes, high glossy screen it doesn't allow to see videos comfortable ( the viewing angle is to narrow ) , grid lines in screen , the camera is the worse man have ever made ... etc ..etc

    There are more issues but the text allowed here is limited. Don't purchase Archos if you do, you'll regret it.

    Good Luck

  • @luchoe2 however what is this in comparison too and you're forgetting its a cheap tablet also called an INTERNET TABLET not for all games videos youtube so if you want what your looking for read around before jumping into things. My grandparent has had one for a month now and shes never off it its perfect for her

  • @chris74101 what you said is100% right, that tablet is perfect for senior people or children may be, but not for users expecting full multimedia and internet features. I agree with you about it and people also must know that .

  • Chris74101, what you say is 100% right, that tablet is good for senior people or children maybe but not for users expecting full multimedia or internet features, people must understand that.

  • @luchoe2 the operating system in the 101 has been upgraded. No more lag unless u temporarily run out ram. Its an easy fix. And yes the camera still sucks even after the current update. Even with the limited viewing angles it is well worth the price now ($259)

  • @zeretmusicent with 256 MB RAM you will always be running out of memory, that memory size is completely inadequate for an android device even more for a tablet. Is like having an Intel I7 processor with 1 Gb of RAM running windows 7. That tablet has flawed desing, there is no hope with it.

  • @luchoe2 i agree. The people who need more ram will have to get a different tablet. Anybody expecting to do more with a 259 dollar tablet is expecting too much. This is perfect for the average consumer. The only down falls i see with this tablet are 1) low ram 2) limited viewing angles 3) no out the box google market place.

  • Here is what i found 1) low ram: means closing unused apps running in the background every so often 2) limited viewing angles: means using the kick stand to adjust it perfectly. 3) no out the box google market place: means downloading a Gapps installer to get the market place or use the one that comes with the device. To avoid these three things people need to get a 450 dollar device. instead of this 259 dollar one.

  • this or the archos 70?

  • this or ipad?

  • what kind of video and audio codecs it support?

  • Big Bugs Bunny - blender film :)

  • Flash is downloadable so yes it does have flash player!! ;) just recent great for youtube

  • can you watch live streaming videos like on Ustream? if so, does it perform well? Thanks.

  • how much battery time? i just need word and text..?

  • @celpabedn 10 hours battery life

  • this tablet got froyo now...

  • do Archos 101 support PDF or doc files?

  • which one would you recommened more the archos 70 8gb or the 250gb. and can i put more apps on the 8gb if I put in a micro sd card

  • DONT FUCK WITH ARCHOS APPLE!!!xD...well...just in this tablet xD!!

  • it will never beat ipad 2 :)

  • @seridogg it's hardware is a year old. Nobody expects it to, you idiot. Look into newer tablets, rather than comparing products on unlike terms.

  • @stammencode i-pad2 better and fucks u and this shit in our asses ;)

  • @seridogg it is a $250 tablet..... go suck apples iNuts

  • I would have to say that from personal experience, from personally owning one, I can say that the Archos 101 has multiple issues from video playback, to calibration, to locking up and not coming back on, even when reset. Not only that, but it only does and will only support Android 2.2. I had to personally deal with the tech department with Archos when I send it in to be fixed, and there is no real customer service, so I decided to trade in for Acer Icondia Tab A500.

  • No flash? really? Has everyone abandoned flash?

  • @dylanfleck Adobe added Flash support for Android 2.2. At the time of this video Archos was still running Android 2.1.

  • no flash support what about youtube,can you watch videos in HD on youtube and movies with not lag ?

  • i know im late but will this get 3.0 .... ive been checking this one out all day and i just want something thats going to last longer than 2 months

  • What would be the best tablets but is also afordable at the same time? preferably under 300$?

  • thanks for this video It is really helpful and i am deffinetly gonna buy one :D it deffinetly beets the archos 43 touchscreen aswell so cheers for making this vid

  • Whats the camera like. How many megapixels is it. Is there any other tab better for around the same price

  • btw is it laggy???

  • ON THEYR WEBSITE THEY SAY IT HAS FLASH? ;)

  • @aznsensation2100 their both junk get a xoom its amazing

  • Should I go with the Archos 101 or the 70?

  • Just ordered this and should get it tomorrow. Looks great. Looking forward to getting it :)

  • The most important things in just 7min :)

    makes me smiling, fine done..

  • Want to know what it's Worth? the archos 101 or the Toshiba ac 10?

  • So, this may be a bit of a hard question but in your opinion, what is better? The Archos 70, 101, or A7?

    I would mostly use it for work (invoices, etc.) and to stay on top of things when I leave the country, which is only for 10 days at a time.

    Also, can you Skype with these?

  • so .. should i get smth like this or an netbook for my travel?

  • Is the difference in RAM noticeable between the Archos 101 and the eLocity A7? I'm looking to get either one, whichever one performs best.

  • @PunchRockGroin It is indeed noticeable. The A7 outperforms just about every tablet on the market but has some problems of its own.Battery life, no multi-touch, some issues with reading external storage and a large footprint for a 7inch tab. Despite all of those issues, I really like the Elocity because it is a beast. No other tab can perform as well with as little tweaking except the Galaxy Tab. The Elocity is faster in every regard but has an inferior screen and build. Hence the price diff...

  • @TheDigitalDigest Alright, that's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much for your time.

  • the 7 cant do that moch i just got one from office depo and im thinking on returned i got it from 150 but you cant do moch i tough that i will be avalible to upgrade to 2.2 but you cant very litle ram you get crash every app that yo try to run i may get the 101

  • @pxods i think you got the 7 home tablet.. the resistive touch one.. its different from 70 internet tablet

  • @edrianquintos yea i found it on officedep for 150 but i try it for few days and i dint like it at all too slow i was hopping for some thing better but i dint came that way i though i need to try the 1o1 archos it may be better since you can play files fron a hd trough usb cable will see i v=haven gat that change to get one on my hands to try it but thanks but tha archos 7 i took it back right a way

  • @pxods yeah i had the 7 as well its a sucker i gave it to my dad since he likes resistive touch (oldie) wbahaha.. trust me the 101 is a different experience. :) its a good tablet in a low price. :) well you sure will not get experience like motorola xoom or ipad2 but its the best in it's price tag. :)

  • @edrianquintos jajjajajaja tell me about it yea well i guess i have to wait to get one since a dont have money

    hope i like the ipad but still is lots of money a mean you get for what you pay i been using a iphone for almost 3 years o ready and still runs pretty good is going to be 1 year since i got my ma book pro ans i haven get en y problem with it y go my ipod classic for 3 years and still working eben know this products aren chip but there worth it but today ai can go for nothing else =)

  • no, 512 ram!!

  • I plan to use this on a boat. Is it possible to charge it with boat batteries? 

  • Do you think I should go for this one, or for the 70 version.

    

  • Fuck CNN. But nice video man!

  • @Wessell99 Not a big fan of the network either lol Thanks for watching!

  • @Wessell99 looooooool :D

  • How do you get marketplace on Archos 7???

  • @Braden123135 Archos 7 or 70?

  • @TheDigitalDigest

    just 7

  • @Braden123135 Archos 70...forget the 7

  • @TheDigitalDigest

    i have the 7

  • flash works on mine

  • @prototype9000 flash works but it still isnt optimized for the archos. Thanks for watching!

  • great video and break down of the differences thanks!

  • @k1ng617 Thanks for watching!

  • Just read a Tear down review on these and they use Lipo battery's!!!

    Make sure you never let these go low on power or the battery can explode into a nasty fire ball.

    I've seen some nasty stuff from model air craft which use Lipo...

  • @Blunder1248 Thanks for the incite and thanks for watching!

  • can u put printer softwear in it

  • @nicktatts01 yes you can. there are various printer apps in the marketplace that can work.

  • Hi I was wondering how the viewing angles on this compared to the Viewsonic G tablet. You mentioned that the screen might be from the same source so are the viewing angles the same pretty much?

  • @oscarfrancois2 Viewing angles are bad on both. i cant say for sure that they are identical but it would make sense. i find less issue with the archos though because of the kick stand. thanks for watching!

  • Does anyone know if I can use a Tmobile USB Internet stick w/ this? Cause Wifi isn't everywhere and always free... Thank You

  • @alphalocity No but you can use Mifi which is some ways better...

  • @alphalocity Like blunder, i recommend you look into Bluetooth pan tether from your phone.

  • ....also. Do you know where you can purchase a case from? TY

  • @IwesprayitI go to ht t p://w w w .archos.com/store/psearch.html­?country=nl&lang=en&prod_id=ar­chos101it

  • @IwesprayitI Ive yet to find anything other than netbook neoprene sleeves meant for 10inch screens. Those seem to work for now.

  • @IwesprayitI you can buy faux-leather cases direct from Archos as well, but it would probably be smarter to go with a neoprene netbook sleeve, for protective purposes.

  • Hi, does it come with an internet browser on it, so you can just set it up and go straight into web browsing such as facebook, etc...?

  • @TheMRWigglyPiggly They have a standard web browser built in.

    Most people that get them install the google market place. The chap that made the video does a How To and its very easy.

  • @Blunder1248 Thanks for watching!

  • Hi. Can you watch netflix on it? Ty

  • @LazycouchTV In many ways it does. One thing is certain, 2011 will be the year of the Android tab. Apple was first to market so that helped them. They will not have that luxury next year.

  • If you get the Archos 70, can you update it to Android 2.2 ?

  • @kpopsubsfan Yes, both the 70 and 101 run the same build of 2.2. Thanks for watching!

  • i hate the ipad for its lack of an open enviroment, no expandable memory and am so glad that someone finaly had the gratest idea in tablet histery the FULL SIZED USB PORT!!!!!!!!! thiss is nice for if you have a usb 3g or 4g network adapter and not a mifi!!!!!!!!!!!1 i want one so bad!!! haha

  • @gregorydotson The ipad did accomplish one good thing, a market for tablets! Otherwise, if I am going to spend upwards of $500 for mobile computing experience, I'll get a computer! I really think that says it all.

  • awesome review!!! I love my 70...but one problem i keep running into is the bottom right and left keys on the keyboard dont respond to well...the numbers key and the Go key..do you have this same issue??? other than that, for the money i find you just can't go wrong with this unit...hope they do move up the Ram to 512 or higher on there next models!!!

  • @NellySon021 I agree, as you know, with everything you stated. As for screen sensitivity, I find that when things aren't responding a screen calibration helps a lot. Ive been able to stomach minor gripes like these as the Archos line is definitely the best value available. it doesn't excuse the issue but its certainly makes it palatable. If the problem persists you may want to RMA it but I think this may be a general issue with the screen. Thanks for watching!

  • when will someone actually have these in stock in the US?  awesome review thanks

  • @gfpfan Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching. Archos gets these in stock around once a week. As for major retailers, they are second in line so spotty inventory would be an understatement for online retailers like, amazon, tigerdirect and the various other companies that do carry Archos products.

  • hey how much is it.?? ::prettyyyyyy coolllll.....

  • @superkoolazz 299 for 8gb ang 349 for 16gb!!! :)

  • can u play games on it?

  • @salongman Indeed.

  • i am so getting one. but prob when it gets 2.2 do we know when thats supposed to come out?

  • @irohproductions

    The 2.2 update came out the last day of November, so it's out now.

  • @Vagran ah cool thx

  • You really shouldn't use task managers with Android. Just messes it up worse. Mostly the lag might be due to low ram since 256MB is pretty low for this kinda device. Surprised they still bother to put that little in. Android 2.2 should help a lot with the lagging tho. Would be cool to see a follow up review :)

  • @esaedvik More like you shouldn't have to but some apps are stubborn and enjoy running in the background no matter what. I'm not saying you need one but Archos did put their own on the device. As for lag, 256mb plays a role but I think it's more about optimizing the build of android for the device rather than a lack of ram (for example the ipad). One of the reasons the current flash plugin doesn't play well with 2.2 on the Archos tabs. it needs to be optimized. Thanks for watching!

  • I love how samsung galaxy tab shows up on the internet on engadget

  • @Feliexxxxxxxx lol. Thanks for watching!

  • Could you make a video where you show the Archos 101 with Android 2.2? It would be awesome to se if it runs as good as they say :)

  • @jonohl100

    just got my 101 from pc richard today. installed froyo and its freakin fast. plays mkv videos too ;)

    for anyone waiting till dec 17th to get it... go to pc richard and son to pick it up. many stores will get it shipped tomorrow. i got mine today from a store that only had 3 shipped and 40 were on preorder. so im guessing they had 43 and the 3 that werent ordered i was lucky to get one of them

  • @manooti hey do you are available to run full flash 10.1 so that way you can have almost the full experience on internet browser?

  • @pxods yes with the new OS it can run flash

  • Comment removed

  • @michillin212 thanks for let me know

  • @pxods Check out my latest review. Thanks for watching!

  • @manooti

    Sure, I will buy an airplane ticket to NY and fly from California to get it.

  • @manooti Happy to hear from another satisfied Archos user. Thanks for watching!

  • @jonohl100 Check out my latest Froyo based review! Thanks for watching!

  • Is it not pronounced 10 one? Nice review, ty!

  • @DarthTeiranis not as far as Archos customer support is concerned lol

  • please run Quadrant on all the Android Tablets you have access to and make a comparison video

  • I've been wanting to buy one of these but the Archos store still doesn't seem to sell it in the US. Where are you guys buying them? Thanks for the review!

  • @SanderP67 Most of 'em are out of stock right now - IIRC they'll be back on the 17th.
