The touch screen is capacitive and is exceptional in its function, having pinch to zoom and an easy scrolling action. It is easily on par with the Apple/Samsung equivalent.
The latest version is 2.2froyo, easily updated via the Wi-Fi (which has a good range as well)
Its construction is really nice considering the price and the little kick stand that folds out is a neat touch.
The battery life is very good. I used it for 4 hours (including Wi-Fi downloads) and it barely used a third of the battery. Really impressed.
Considering the unit is so thin, the sound quality is amazing. They're only tiny speakers in there, but they sound great and it's stereo as well.
The screen (although not as high definition as others) looks really gorgeous. Hi-def images and video playback look amazing. The music app installed looks and works flawlessly.
Before parting with £400 - £500 + on another tablet, give the Archos 70 a go. I'm very glad I did.
Update - The Archos 70 has been running flawlessly.
My mate has sent TWO iPad2's back in the same time .......... Ignore the 1 star moans about reliability, look up the iPad reviews and Galaxy ones online.
I love my Archie! If you buy one gadget this year then you had better make it this one. You won't regret it.
First of, when you buy the Archos the chances are it will be running Android 2.1. As soon as you switch the device on, stick the mains plug on, go to device settings, firmware update and get straight onto the 2.2 update.
Secondly, download the Google Market Place apk. It's easy to find. You simply fill in your google account details and of you go, no need for the Archos Apps store! you will have full access to the Android apps Market.
Thirdly, got to the Adobe Flash mobile site and install flash 10.1, once you've installed the new firmware and Android 2.2. This will give you full access to Flash 10.1 desktop YouTube pages and flash games sites.
Once you've done this, download Dolphin Browser, and Launcher Pro. It will run as slick as the Galaxy Tab, once their installed.
For all those that are complaining about 256MB on the machine, this makes little difference to performance since there is no 3G and phone application services required to run on the device. Almost all the apps you will use will run fine, and manages multi-tasking very efficiently given the hard ware limit imposed.
The latest firmware update also has a performance tool, letting you unlock a range of different performance settings. I'm currently playing games such as Quake 2 and Dungeon Hunter, which both play very impressively.
In three weeks I've have had a couple of crashes on the machine, but I'm sure this is true for the Galaxy and the IPad.
This is an impressive piece of kit easily worth £220. Internet and capacitive screen technology is the icing on a very large cake for this device. Find me something comparable, with USB connection, HDMI mini out, and an SD Card slot? and of course lets not forget it is a fully functioning media player, capable of playing almost anything you can throw at it over a wifi network.
Definitely worth 5 out of 5 stars.
Well specced tablet for the money.
Recharging is a nightmare.
Plug battery charger in, even all night and nothing happens. Read more
