Little-Miss Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I wrote this ages ago but thought id might as well stick it on here now. It's very rough, but oh well. http://www.edugeek.net/blogs/little-miss/662-archos-101-short-review.html
featured_spectre Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 thats a decent review, using language anyone can understand. Bravo... PS got any pix of it in action? 1
Little-Miss Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 good idea! Yeah, im not in the habit of speak "tech" anyway a) because of working with non-tech people and b) a bit of confidence thing and c) being self taught sometimes ive never picked up/learnt the correct terminology for things lol! Thanks Carl.
featured_spectre Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 sounds just like me...perhaps a pic of boot up, standard load up screen, app store, iplayer, youtube, generic app *maybe wifi finder or something* and a game *angry birds*? That way its a range of pictures 1
penfold Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Do you use this as an e-reader? I keep considering a tablet but cannot afford a top of the range device, but would only really consider buying one if I could use it to read on. Basically I'm trying to justifty buying one for any other reason than i want one
penfold Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 I've since read that the 101 can develop problems (specifically the USB drive) over time. @Little-Miss does your device still work and do you find your using it as much as you thought?
Little-Miss Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 Device still works, but has slowed down. That maybe my penchant for downloading masses of apps. I plan to wipe it and start again. Do i use it often? No, not really. After getting an iPhone 4 i use that a lot more then my tablet. I kinda want an iPad now. Nice introduction to tablets... 1
penfold Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 HMV are selling these now for £129... Hence my interest now Was thining of getting one as a present, but now thinking of getting one for myself I am playing around with an Ipad in work at the mo and must say the screen is much better than I would have thought for reading from. I've had a quick play with the Archos in HMV but as there is no books installed on it, I cant see how good it would be to read on. I just know the screen insn't supposed to be too good, but I just wondered how much of a problem it was on a daily basis.
featured_spectre Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 If you can get the HP Tablet, then thats the winner, especially as Android is being ported for it
Little-Miss Posted October 31, 2011 Author Posted October 31, 2011 I wouldnt fancy reading a book on it to be honest....screen is very wierd in profile view.... 1
penfold Posted October 31, 2011 Posted October 31, 2011 If you can get the HP Tablet, then thats the winner, especially as Android is being ported for it Unfortunately it comes down to cost. That is what I would like, but was looking at a budget one as a present. Since I started looking though, it's got my interest and i've started coming up with lots of reasons why I would need one I did think, maybe a budget entry tablet wouldn't be too much of a waste of money if I didn't use it that much. But chances are if it's not as good that would be one reason why it wasn't used.
