4.0 out of 5 stars Archos 7 Home Tablet
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2012

If you're looking for a tablet for your mp3's and movies (avi's etc) then this will be sufficient! Nice weight and design.
But with no flash, youtube or standard Google Play Store avalable (as it'd old 1.0.15 android firmware) it's a no go if that's what you're after like i initially was.
The WiFi is also temperamental. internet browsing ok but also struggled to get hotmail and gmail running smoothly.
There are some version's of the Archos 7 Home Tablet that are compatable with a custom firmware upgrade that should allow the normal android market & flash (at your own risk as this will void your warranty) but not the version i received (the version i've recieved is 7HTv1 which there is no verified custom firmware or i could not find one) if it's 7HTv2 then it's my understanding that there are verified custom firmware's available.
Ultimately it's for my 2-3 year old who likes to watch Jolly Phonics or Peppa Pig via youtube on my Galaxy S but as there's no youtube i've had to put loads of avi's on it for her and she seems quite happy with it but if it was for myself and i wanted to access the normal Google Android market like i do with my smartphone then i would look elsewhere!

This is a really disappointing product. Incredibly hard to use both with the sensitivity of the screen / keys and it's intuitiveness on down loading movies and songs. I have given up on it as it's just too onerous to use. Graphics good from demo movies but pointless if you cane down load the ones you want to watch! I know it's a cheap product compares to samsung and apple tablets but you get what you pay for with this product which is minimal!

3.0 out of 5 stars RESEARCH IT CAREFULLY
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 June 2011
Verified Purchase
I warn you, research this carefully before you buy it.
I bought it foolishly, thinking that it was capable of playing flash videos, which was one of the main reasons I was buying it. I don't know where I got the idea that it was flash capable, because IT'S NOT.

Also, in one instance, the whole thing froze when loading a simple website. I went away and left it for 2 hours, and when I came back, it was still frozen.
It also runs an adapted version of android, NOT the latest smartphone type software, again my own stupidity in not researching that properly.

HOWEVER, before it froze it was quite good at browsing the internet, the pages looked good on the bright 7 inch screen.
The sample video that came with it was excellent quality, so if you're the kind of person with, errr, money to spend on video files, I imagine that this would be awesome for watching videos on a plane or some other mode of transport.

MY POINT IS, research it carefully, be sure that it does what you want it to do, and be aware that THIS IS NOT A CHEAP ALTERNATIVE TO THE IPAD!

2.0 out of 5 stars Promising, but disappointing.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 July 2010

I bought the Archos 7 hoping that it would fit my needs: a media tablet that's flash based (no hard drive to break when throwing into a backpack), with a good screen, and which can play just about any video format I throw at it.

The first thing you'll notice when handling it is that it feels a bit cheap. It's constructed completely from plastic, and the screen feels a bit tacky.

On the video side, support for the .avi and .mp4 containers is widely advertised, and even high complexity h264 is on the list of features. Not quite as well advertised is the Matroska (.mkv) support, probably because it can best be described as 'basic'. Matroska's benefit is realised in multiple audio and subtitle streams, but the Archos 7's support is limited to playback of the contained video with the *first* audio track available. Embedded subtitles are not supported, although this is allegedly worked around with an external .srt file. Also, don't expect to be able to play something just because it's an AVI: I have plenty of files that play fine with mplayer or VLC, but which this device renders as a mess of coloured blocks.

There's playback support for mp3s, but almost as an afterthought to the video: the player is ridiculously under-featured, making managing more than a handful of tracks a bit of a pain. This is definitely intended as a video player, with not much support for large volumes of music.

Outside of the media player, the performance of the user interface of this Android-based tablet is sluggish, with noticable lag between touching an icon and having it activate. There is WiFi/internet support, but Flash support is either missing or not up-to-date enough to watch YouTube. There is no integrated PDF reader, and the readers available on the Archos-specific app store are basic, slow, irritating or just crash-prone. In fact, that applies to just about all the apps I've tried from the store.

The only plus I can think of is that *if* your content plays back, it looks really good on the big, 7" screen. There's also a lot of promise in the device: most of the problems are down to the software, so a future firmware update could save the day and turn this into a totally killer player. Until then, save your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent Tablet for the children
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2013

This tablet was chosen because it for the price being asked for some tablets, this model had the best reviews. These have worked out well for our children who are learning the ropes of older android systems and are now downloading apps galore, and rather eerily, they are running around with them all day long, if busy the tablet sits within easy reach. The children love them and are so happy even though they are not brand new or from market leaders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tablet di fascia economia ma ottimo per visione divx
Reviewed in Italy on 15 July 2014

Scrivo questa recendsione a distanza di circa 4 anni dall'acquisto di questo prodotto, quindi i tempi rispetto ad allora sono cambiati enormemente. Comunque questo tablet androidi (versione 2.0 non aggiornabile) a fatto a pieno il suo lavoro, che nella fattispecie consisteva nella riproduzione di filmati divx in viaggio. Riesce a leggere quasi tutti i formati divx senza difficoltà e l'audio è di buona qualità, la batteria dura circa 3 h con riproduzione filmati. Per quanto riguarda il resto, c'è suicuramente di molto meglio ad oggi ma sicuramente la ditta Archos non è produce le cinesate da pochi soldi, la qualità costruttiva si vede e anche se non in italano, è disponibile un servizio clienti che risponde veramente con centri assistenza nelle provincie più importanti. Sempre impeccabile il servizio Amazon che questa volta ha sostituito in maniera completamente gratuita l'apparecchio nei primi 15gg per un malfunzionamento delle schermo.

5.0 out of 5 stars For my usage, better than the iPad
Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2010
Verified Purchase
As others have said, it's a good value for $200. But I take that a little bit further and say that I'd rather have this gadget than the $500 iPad. Why? Here's why.

-It is smaller and almost half the weight. This makes it comfortable to hold and view with one hand, which is difficult with the iPad. I plan to hold on to it and watch videos while stationary biking at the gym, which would be difficult with a bigger tablet.
-The screen is matte. It has much less glare than the iPad.
-I use it mainly to watch videos. In this capacity, it excels, supporting more video formats than the iPad, and coming in a widescreen format instead of 4x3.
-It does most things as well or nearly as well as the iPad. Aldiko is a great ebook reader, you can download Swype to make typing super fast, videos and music play great, etc.
-It plays youtube and flash videos if you use the Skyfire browser.

Of course, there are drawbacks. I wouldn't give it a low rating though because it's missing features that only come with $500 tablets.

-The screen is resistive, and occasionally doesn't register your tap. This improves with time, if you turn on the click-on-tap sound setting.
-The Android marketplace doesn't work from the device. To get apps beyond the basic ones, you must either install another marketplace (like Slideme) or search around the web.
-The chip is supposedly slower to lower the pricepoint. I haven't noticed this much.

So for a student, or younger working type without much cash, this is an insane buy. Tons of tablets will be coming out this year, but this one works perfectly fine and may still be cheaper than anything else coming out for a long time. 7 inches is a perfect size right in between small phones and big iPads, and I've enjoyed using it in various situations during the week I've owned one.

Enjoy!

Ich habe mir das Teil nach gründlichen Überlegungen bestellt .
Ich war angenehm überrascht , alles funktioniert einwandfrei .
DVD`s anschauen , Bilder , Musik , Email`s , alles klappte auf anhieb .
Der Screen läßt sich gut bedienen , der Druckpunkt ist optimal .
Wenn man den Bildschirm einmal eingestellt hat funktioniert alles wie bei meinem HTC - Hero .
Das Betriebssystem ist zwar das alte Android , ist aber völlig ausreichend .
Eigendlich ist alles was man braucht zum abspielen verschiedener Datein vorhanden .
Ich sehe noch keinen Grund mir etwas herrunterzuladen .
Das WLan funktioniert bei mir in der Wohnung in jedem Raum ( Fritz-Box Wlan VDSL )
Also : Als Zweitgerät mit Musik und Bildfunktion bestens geeignet .
Telefonieren kann man nicht damit , würde aber auch albern aussehen , mit so einem Teil am Ohr :)
Überall wo Wlan ist , ist man mobil , ansonsten dient das Teil als perfekter Abspieler .
Ich warte jetzt nur noch auf eine bestellte 32 GB SD-Karte für meine DVD`s und Musik .
Also keine langeweile mehr :)
Für das Geld , ein TOP Gerät .
