Browser and MKV 720p performance on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android

[dealerovski82]

Legal? yeah right, I saw some Dimension and Ctrl releases there

[artifactingreality]

graphics seems a little slow. I dunno if it's the video or the device but I notice a lot of screen tearing artifacts - also it takes a while to render the display when you switch between portrait and landscape.

That's your site? Cool. I recently joined it to ask some questions. Now, I just bought a 500 gb version. Thanks for the site!

[Conscript69]

@zachstr3301 I was thinking of a 500gb version myself.. is it even possible to fill that up? :p

[Gagarin235]

@Conscript69

heck yeah :P like 100 HD movie rips and its full :P

I like how excited you are about the cool new technology, and how you try to cram in as much info into each video, but you come off a bit fidgety and nervous, you skip past some stuff I want to see more of way too quickly..ie I wanted to see how video looked for a longer period of time, you only gave it a few seconds it seemed for each one. For content/media if you could stay on each video/audio a little longer it would be great+CALM DOWN a little bit it'd be great.. U make me so nervous! Lol.

Fantasic review! One of the best I've seen for the A5 Android it. I love mine!

Please make more videos because you are very pleasant to watch

lol @ Frenchie. Great review, nevertheless.

[zingy101]

how do you put videos andmusic on?

[mxbasse]

test the tv snap-on

[Charbax]

They have not yet updated the firmware to support the TV snap-on which I reviewed for the previous generation at watch?v=vXQB9L5B-iM

[vincinzo76]

good review, any prob connecting with wi-fi?

[KooolaNL]

how is the battery life

[Charbax]

I haven't tested that fully yet. Some people are saying 7 hours of video playback or web browsing on WiFi, but it is to be tested in details and with all kinds of backlight intensity, audio volume and more..

[KooolaNL]

1280p :> lolwat

the movie u played @ first is a good movie ive seen it ;)

[Dargakis]

great review.

the hardware is really good though, I read intel atom somewhere

[Charbax]

It's a Texas Instruments OMAP3440 ARM Cortex A8, the fastest processor for mobile devices on the market.

[blankmeebo]

no not true, nvidia tegra is

[Charbax]

Nvidia Tegra is ARM11 which is 34 slower than ARM Cortex A8 technology.

[blankmeebo]

also true but next year Tegra 2 is released which is a dua-core ARM9 CPU

[thefishmaster89]

Tegra2 will be based on Cortex A9 which uses the same ARMv7 instruction like in A8 but with performance improvements like Out of Order Execution.

[Charbax]

3-4 times slower
