This is great news as I have this cable on the way from Deal Extreme..OP - excellent├®!

One thing to add I did not get a USB hub to work with the cable, not with power or without. Works fine from the fullsize USB port from A101.
When the hub has power the A43/A70 does notice it and gives the ...

Ok I did some more testing.
The CA-157 cable does work
- A43 : usb mouse (ms), usb keyboard (ms)
- A70 : usb mouse (ms), usb keyboard (ms)

The connector is too tight for the A101 port but as it has the full size USB port, there is little use for it.
The A101 may be older model as it came with 2.1 ...

Hi jkajolin,

Your experience seems very odd as others have reported the Nokia CA-157 working well. Where did you get yours (link please)?

Its from a Nokia dealership. Here is a link to the official nokia page and if you look the picture you can see that the cable has straight edges. And ...

I have the Nokia CA-157 cable and have not get anything to work.
The connector itself is incorrect should the correct connector have round edges as this one have the straight edges.
Only tried it with the thumb drive, have to more testing on different devices.

I have A43, A70 and A101 to play with.

Make sure that the AC plus is on the AC port and not the headphones (yes it fits there too).
If you get some juice going, start the device and click it to Deep Sleep.
If you keep it at shutdown the battery light will not start to blink, it takes several hours after the Android says 100% that the ...

Still says 2 years warranty on the web page (at least on the finnish version).
But you do understand that it is a part of the pixmania package witch costs certain % from the products price, I never use the 'pix' feature.
Also the warranty is with pixmania not with archos and pixmania has very bad ...

No one knows anything about Honeycomb on the A101 or any other tablet because Google has not released the specs for Honeycomb.
Not 100% true. Motorola Xoom will have Honeycomb, so someone knows something about it with another tablet. :D
But agree with you on everything else!!!

Google used ...

The front page of Archosfans.com talks about

"Rockchip RK29xx ARM Cortex-A8 based 10.1ÔÇ│ capacitive Android 2.3 Gingerbread tablet. It may cost something like $199 at retail, price is to be confirmed by Archos once this product is ready to be released. Release depends approximately on Rockchip ...

(+ 512mg of ram and Tegra in the same form factors and price ranges - pretty please)

Gen 8 has forward facing cameras, adding it to the lower models would probably raise the production cost too match.

As as I know (don't have 8 gen devices yet).
- 5GHz bandwidth is not supported at all
- n spec was supported but was broken with the latest firmware versions

SimpleElectronics order processing can take upto 3 days.
I have had order in for 43,70 and 101 models from 23/11 and nothing yet, already paid by VISA bills also.
Asked couple of weeks ago what happening and the answer was that the delivery date is unknown.
Reading reviews it can take upto month to ...

How does Archos (an EU based company) justify (find excuses for) having such pricing differences in favor of the US market?

- In the US the 8Gb A101 go for 299$. In the EU most offers are for 299Ôé¼ (or more!) which is 392$, so almost 100$ more for the same item.

- The 16Gb A101's base US price ...

you might as well just get an archos 70 because even if you end up wanting to buy a new tablet for android copatability archos will more than likely of brought out a new tablet that will go beyond the galaxys performance and still be as cheap as 300 euro/ 275 dollars and the price of both the ...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is the SDE. I know what it stands for, but is it an actual working FW or as a relative newby to Android with no Linux experience, is it best to forget about it.

Thanks.

Well if you read the release terms it states that installing it voids the warranty ...

I would not advice to use a SDD media external or internal as torrent storage.
Torrent files as their nature are highly segmented and require a lot of I/O operations this will shorten the lifespan of the used media greatly.

If you have to download torrent from the hand held system, buy a remote ...

SimplyElectronics is out of stock with both A101 models.
I had an order in for two weeks and asked the status few days ago, only thing I got back was sorry, we do not know when the items will be shipped.

There's an EU store? I've never seen it, only individual country stores. I've looked at the Archos UK store pretty much every day for ages, and the a101 has never been available on that day.

Well no. But what I understand there is only two online stores, one for the US (witch has own unique ...

Archos 70 8G in stock now...go ahead..and buy and overnight for a happy B-day

Might be on US.
Archos 43 has not been on sold in EU store.
Archos 70 was a little while, so as Archos 101 16GB.
One of the distributors I am looking for just changed the estimate to 05/01/2010 so it looks very ...

I have had order in for a week and it has already been charged from my VISA account but nothing has been send.
I do have a combined order for 43, 70 and 101 but everyone of those was in stock when I made the order.
It just seems very odd that the "online stock" seems to change every day, one day ...

I dont understand why are you people waiting for tablets to be in the stock? It seems to me that you can buy them now. And if it says that next shipment is first of half december than probably a70 will be in your hands before Christmas anyway, right? Am I something missing here?
