    This review is from: Archos Arnova Child Pad (Personal Computers)
    I bought this Child Pad for a special little guy in my life who is almost 6 years old. It comes with nearly 30 child specific apps, and has some Alvin & the Chipmunks content on it, but other than that, it's a real grownup Android tablet! This means that while he will mostly be using it for games and educational apps at the moment, as he starts learning how to use the internet and do more complex things, he won't outgrow this tablet like he would some of the other child-specific devices.
    The tablet has a resistive touch screen, rather that a capacitive touch screen, but I was actually surprised at just how responsive the screen was to moderate finger pressure...much better than older resistive screen devices of the past. A firm rubber tipped stylus also worked great... and even better with the plastic styli with rounded hard plastic tip. He has game systems with this type of screen, so it won't be any problem for him. There is supposed to be a Child Pad coming out with a... Read more

    This review is from: Archos Arnova Child Pad (Personal Computers)
    I bought this device for my sons birthday. While the processor and memory are more than adequate for their purpose, there are a few glaring problems. This device does not include market. I don't really take marks off for this one, because I didn't expect that it would because of the applib market. You can easily install Amazon app store as I did and that does give you access to most apps. The two major issues I have with this device are that Netflix does not work on it and the resistive touch screen is frustrating. Netflix loads from amazon and starts fine getting as far as showing your queue and movies, but fails to actually play videos. Netflix was one of the main reasons we bought my son a tablet. It's a full android experience they advertise in their description, but no netflix? My old trusty gtablet plays netflix fine with an ICS rom. The other thing was I didn't realize this had a resistive touch screen when I ordered it, that much is my fault, I should have read more... Read more

    1.0 out of 5 stars Technical Disaster!, June 22, 2012
    This review is from: Archos Arnova Child Pad (Personal Computers)
    Well I purchased this actually from Archos website directly. I began to use it to set it up before giving it to my kid and noticed the screen is made up of a exceptionally durable material which is good for the little one but made it very difficult for me to operate. A large majority of the time it did not react when I clicked on an app or typed on the keyboard. I had to end up buying a stylus because my finger where already sore. Well to add insult to injury, I had charged the battery over night and the next day while using it I was getting maybe 90 minutes tops from the battery when it is advertised to last about 6 hours (or more). While the battery quickly died I also felt was getting very hot underneath and a strong smell of burning plastic and rubber was coming from it. I had another friend of mine locally purchase it and she told me she had the exact same issues with hers.
    Other issues are that the childpad has zero access to the Google Play store which is both good and... Read more

    4.0 out of 5 stars Comparison vs Archos 705, December 10, 2008

    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    As an owner of both the new Archos 7 as well as last year's model (the 705), I wanted to provide some points of comparison between the two for anyone trying to decide whether to save some money on the older model. In general, the two are very similar -- they provide essentially the same functionality, although the new 7 includes a couple of new features (and includes for free some of the plugins that you had to pay for before with the 705).

    Here's a quick rundown of the positive changes in the 7 vs the 705:

    * Speed -- particularly of the web browser. The new 7 has a much faster CPU and renders web content at a much better pace (probably 3x the speed of the 705). Using the browser on the 705 was often painful except on pages that were geared to mobile devices. The 7 can handle even most complex pages without a problem. Since I use the device for browsing quite a bit, this is a HUGE plus for the 7.

    * Email -- The 7 includes a native email client that... Read more

    This review is from: Archos 7 320 GB Internet Media Tablet (Personal Computers)
    I have not been more excited to receive a digital toy for many years, and after reading up on the capabilities of the Archos 7 according to Archos, I was eagerly anticipating its arrival. However, after playing with the device for a few days I must say that I am terribly disappointed. Perhaps, given that I have been in the tech industry for over 30 years, I have high standards, but I must say, in that 30 years no device has ever come to me so premature as the new Archos PMP.

    I can understand in today's economic environment that companies are cash-strapped, and the desire to have items on the market for the Christmas season. However, Archos has lost me as a customer - this device is in no way ready to have been released from their development cycle.

    Flash support. Some youtube videos work, though newer formats do not. That said, youtube was the only website from which I was able to view videos. Hulu, Joost, network websites - none of their videos would work... Read more

    This review is from: Archos 7 320 GB Internet Media Tablet (Personal Computers)
    I have bought one Archos 605 wifi and two Archos 7's with the DVR Station and they all were sent back. As much as I wanted these media players to work they were just a big let down. I have three other Insignia players that have worked fine for many years. I even bought a new laptop hoping the Archos 7 would sync to the Vista Home Premium Windows media player. The DVR station using the Archos 7 would not sync to my local channel guide. After hours with tech support, which by the way is at least a 30 minute wait on the phone, I was totally unable to get the things working correctly. To add insult to injury, I had purchased the Cinema plug-in for 19.95, which you must have to view most video, and even though I sent the Archos back and showed proof with a confirmation e-mail from Amazon.com, they would not refund the purchase of the plug-in to my credit card! They would be great devices if they did half of what they say they will! I highly advise Amazon to drop Archos from their... Read more
