Re: Should we buy the Archos Gamepad for our 5 year old?

Hi,

I brought this for my 6 year (just turned 7 yesterday) just before Christmas. I have had various Archos products before and did not want to get a 3DS due to the expense of the games etc. Overall it is good and he gets a lot of use out of it. He generally uses it for games such as angry birds ...

Re: Lousy battery runtime

Hi emailed Archos as I am not happy with getting 2 hours on average from playing games. The response is below. Personally I think their reply is a cop out as it is called a 'Gamepad' so I believe most people will use it for games, or maybe I am wrong. They would not answer what the expected battery ...

Re: Lousy battery runtime

I too am not very impressed with the battery life. At best I get 4 hours but on average 2-3 hours. Yesterday by playing for 1 hour and 40 minutes it went from 100% to 40%. On standby it then did not lose any for 2 hours. Will firmware update fix and improve the battery life? Is everyone else getting ...

Re: Archos having problems with the gamepad?

I received mine today. I ordered when it was showing shipment on 18th Dec. The only delay was because they asked whether I was happy to receive it with a two pin plug rather than the uk 3 pin. I said that was OK as I have plenty power cords with my nexus or smart phone. They reckoned a few days ...

I have now upgraded today my asus transformer prime to ICS!! I received this on the 30th Dec so within a couple of weeks we have gone from Honeycombe to ice Cream sandwich so I am very happy indeed. It runs very smoothly and do not regret changing from archos to asus.

Couldn't wait anymore so brought the Asus Transformer Prime

Hi all,

I have been holding on the the gen 9 archos 101, 1.5 ghz model for some time now. In the past I have brought the 605, I currently own the archos 5IT and 101 gen 8. I would say I am loyal to archos and really was excited about the new gen 9 but wanted the higher spec and speed.

In the end I ...

Re: How do you install the new market apk?

I downloaded the new market app on my 101 and it works well. I like it so far and have downloaded some apps. It can see my existing apps from the market and I have also updated some of those already.

Re: Archos' A101IT Case

You are correct it is the same as the one for the Archos 5IT. I have them both and have found them to be OK. It has never scratched the screen but I have always used a screen protector. I do not feel that it would protect the 101 screen if something heavy fell on it where I do not worry about the ...

Re: Must have item for the 101!

I got my screen protector from ele-pop and it is great. Easy to fit, still as responsive, helps with the glare, less finger prints and I actually prefer the feel of it. It may sound weird but my fingers often got stuck momentarily before when scrolling up and down the screen. No more. The company ...
