It is an Archos Android handheld with all sorts of possible The horrible, horrible touch screen totally ruins any positives this unit has. I own a three.two and a 7. for organization causes. Recently bought the 4.three considering its screen would be the very same as the 3.2 and this would be the finest size for one particular hand use. I was extremely disappointed. The 70 screen is capacitive and is fairly good. The three.2 screen is resistive but is surprisingly sensitive and responsive. If they had place the same form of screen on the 43 that the 32 has, this would be a big hit. I feel totally ripped off and extremely advocate you acquire the 70 for a little more cash. |

The android technique is impressive and updating was a snap. Loading the marketplace was simple and easy with help from a youtube tutorial . This is defiantly a time killer. i get playing with this factor and subsequent thing I know I've killed three-4 hours. its very easy to navigate and trouble-free to internet surf with the appropriate apps The battery life is excellent as lengthy as your not obtaining it look for a wifi zone, this kills the battery, the searching component. Once connected it doesn't burn by means of the battery. Battery life is comparable to my ipod Tow big beefs, it doesn't look to keep in mind wep keys or at least not way more than one particular at a time.I travel among wifi areas and whenever i get to a several spot i have to reload the wep essential. move to one other spot reload wep key go back to the preceding spot and i have to reload the wep key. this gets actual annoying. I'm hoping there's an app for this but if there is i haven't discovered it however Second fault is the touch screen , one particular time its sensitive the next its not . I'm employed to an ipod touch which is considerably much better on the touch In all if I'm on a trip wanting to surf the net ,watch a film ,or just listen to tunes I substantially favor this more than the ipod touch. It defiantly plays far more video file varieties(actually haven't located any it won't play)it has a bit larger screen and can defiantly surf the web greater than the ipod. I would very advocate this tablet |

User friendly and reliable Android FroyoAndroid Market (after putting in third party app)Plays an wonderful wide variety of video and music formats.Effortless to use Samba for file sharing and video/audio streaming.HDMI outputSpeaker, 16GB, microSD Archos firmware updates1000 far more practical than an Ipod Touch screen responsiveness left a lot to be desiredThe camera is average/bellow-average top quality (like the 32)The 43 casing feels plastic-y The earphones included are also average. I got an Archos 32 some months ago and I love the small device. I believed that the 43 will be an enhanced version of the 32 but in several strategies is not. The biggest letdown is the touch screen. The 32 has a superior touch screen responsiveness! Also the 32 casing feels metalic and sturdy. The 43 feels a bit low cost. The thing is that for 趚 I was expecting better high quality. But still the 43 is an awesome machine. I installed a ton of applications and games like 20+ gameboy advanced games. The device connects flawlessly with my network and it can share files employing samba or ftp. You can download free of charge music and youtube videos to the device employing market place applications and so on and so forth etcAndroid market place is offered after installing the application gApps4Archos2.apk and rebooting the device. Google it. |

Screen display is extremely clear and effortless on the eyes.Plays a number of formats of video.Games are visually appealing for a individual media deviceƓD).Many ports. (both the HDMI and USB port are mini) The touch portion of the screen is poor good quality. I had a rough time navigating through menus and scrolling by means of net pages or lists of files. My nexus 1 telephone responds substantially far better, and even that device falls short of the iPod touch interface part of the screen. More affordable than related apple products. Even even though the screen has been giving me problems, I'd take this more than an apple product, just for the mulitple ports, and it's potential to play much much more formats than any apple item. Plus it comes with android, giving you the capacity to watch, and play flash files on the world wide web. I have e-mailed ARCHOS to see if they have any concepts on how I may possibly recalibrate the screen to its maximum potential and user efficiency. If you are seeking for a media player with one particular of the most visually appealing screens for its size, with the potential to play media files without having obtaining to convert most of them, then this is your device. |

Android 2.2Flash 10Audio and Video assistanceApps from both Archos and AndroidDescent speaker for the size.crisp 4.three" screen Screen is touchyno multi-touch assistance I've been waiting for one of these given that November, and it was worth the wait. I chose this more than a Ipod Touch. It has played each and every audio and video format I've thrown at it. It can stream audio/video from your shared network folders. Flash 10 works, while it's not truly released for archos yet. Apps are fantastic. This is still smaller enough to fit in your pocket. Only gave four stars due to the sensitivity of the screen. Often you attempt to scroll the screen and it selects the icon rather of scrolling. For what this little player can do, I can live with it. |

Android OS, No monthly data strategy, takes pictures/video, plays apps, MP3s No multi-touch, video playback doesn't generally perform Great pocket computer to carry wherever you go. As lengthy as you have Wifi it does what you need. |
Nice size package, video excellent, expansion slot, bluetooth. "Touch" screen reliability/accuracy. Touchscreen was frustrating to say the least, then it got way out of calibration and refuses to comprehensive the calibration sequence. Now the device is "stuck" needing the screen calibrated, but you can't get it to calibrate, reformatting doesn't assist.Wireless won't connect to work with an Enterprise class "leap" authenticated system. Quite a few hours spent with our IT persons, reading android forums on what apps to attempt and "tweak" hidden settings to get "leap authentication" to operate. Laptops, Ipods, etc connect fine at perform, but not the Archos. Some forums claim to get leap functioning by"rooting" the device and editing some file...this shouldn't be this difficult!!!Camera image quality is poor at finest. Video quality indoors is mediocre at finest. I reeeally wanted a "Ipod like" device without having the apple control. My wife has a Itouch for a couple of years ago, and she likes it. I didn't like I tunes, or the way apple has manage of the device. So, I decided to try a android device. I truly wanted a telephone/pmp but Verizon won't let you have one on their network with out a information contract. I can't justify that expense.Instead I purchased the Archos 43it. I seriously wanted anything with a GPS constructed in, but there wasn't something accessible.I don't thoughts a bit of tweaking, but correct away I had troubles finding the screen calibrated. Even when accomplished, I had trouble selecting products on the screen accurately. Then lastly, on the 4th day of use, I tried to recalibrate again, and the screen refuses to acknowledge my input on the corners. I can't even use it now.Then there is the wireless....operates fine at residence, but the enterprise class wireless at operate has left me tired. Seems like there is concerns receiving leap authenticated wireless functioning in andro
