Nice screen, terrible software

 

Maybe I'm going to come across as a bit old and crusty but if I want nice android functionality I'll buy an android phone or a tablet. This somehow tries to sit somewhere in between and does a terrible job at it. Display: The display and quality of the...

This has been a nice gadget for me. Nothign over the top, but i love it none the less. Music plays well. it doesn't hook to itunes, and it sorts all music automatically. thats a little annoying having all the singles come up in album and artist view,...

Back in 2010...

 

this was a decent device. ATM today, here and now I'd easily go for a Samsung 4.0 or 5.0(more features, better stock firmware and overall build quality) over this puppy any day of the week. pros: plays some video and audio formats OOB(most of the...

It's alright, but there are better and cheaper options

 

I've had this product for almost exactly a year now. The main reason I got it was for the bluetooth tethering support, which worked amazingly well. I had a $35 phone plan with unlimited data on a dumbphone and could tether as much as I wanted with no...

Archos 4.3, a acceptable device for most

 

I got this device about 8 months ago, so a little late for a review; the second device in a string of 3 android devices. I suspect not many people will be getting this with the Galaxy 4.0 costing about the same. The kickstand on the device was useful;...

Love It

 

I've had this tablet for nearly 2 years now, and I am very glad that I bought it. Essentially, I was looking for a smartphone minus the phone, and this device was what I landed on. This device is extremely open. The manufacturer even provides a custom...

Cheap for a tablet when it came out ; 1GHz processor, I believe 256MB RAM ; Hackable ; Decent camera in good lighting ; 16GB internal storage ; SDHC slot for up to an additional 32GB storage ; USB Host Capabilities for using USB flash drives,...

No Multi-touch capabilities ; Limited to Android 2.2, no higher Android builds supported (easily) ; Was sluggish until firmware update fixed it ; Typing with on-screen keyboard takes a bit of getting used to on a resistive touch screen (not the most...

Great little device

 

I bought this primarily as a MP3 player as I like to play music in the classes I teach, during the lab portions. Bought a 32G micro SD and filled it up, works great. Sound out of the device's speaker is pretty tinny, as can be expected, but is not...
