It's a tablet, you'll find that you are looking for a PC.
p.s. you forgot to mention the many useful apps you can make use of on your android tablet, such as the games, to do lists, notepads, calendars, picture editing, etc...sounds like you simply lack any ideas or creativity. For people like you I always say "Go get an iPad. It'll do exactly the same, but you'll believe it does things Androids can't, which has gotta be worth an extra £400."

If someone from Archos reads this: Never let your reps talk about release-dates anywhere (i know they didn't in this vid) if they got no Idea what they are talking about.
8 Days past due and not even a goddamn line from you about whats up with the update. Swell job you did there...
-
@Matthijs1994 this week eh ? Where is it then... Archos has never kept deadlines as far as I heard, and now they've proven themselves incapable of delivering on the due date (First week of February ended 8 days ago).

That looks like the 86x ice cream sandwich,and if so its not finished yet think i will stick to honeycomb as have tried the 86x ics on viewpad ten and still a few bugs on it but what we really need is more games and emulators for tablets.

So we saw a sub par GUI on a crippled OS. what else can this OS do that hasn't been out already? Why the hell would anyone buy this?

@runbmp Honeycomb was the first tablet optimized OS, all other were scaled up smartphone OS, and now ICS brings that fully hardware accelerated to double the memory bandwidth processors other than Tegra2 and makes it scale perfectly down back to smartphones and also makes the same OS work perfectly on Google TV, Laptops, E Ink e-readers and more. Basically ICS is the OS for the world.

@Charbax Not that i'm advocating that IOS is any better but I believe that its already spread across Apple TV, Ipad Tablets and smartphones.
and memory bandwidth on Tegra2, while admirable on a portable device, its still has a long way to go.
It perhaps is the OS for the world, those on netbooks, tablets and generally don't want to learn anything and just have a locked down no frills experience.

@runbmp iOS is not an OS for the world, it's an OS for Apple. And still today, there is very little about iOS that has been optimized for tablet use on the iPad. On the other hand, since Honeycomb, every pixel of the OS are re-engineered to be optimized to use on a larger screen with a medium to high pixel density. It may be that on the top layer and using the same background image, it may be hard for many to see the difference between Honeycomb and ICS on a tablet, but under the hood is lots.
