My screen viewing angle comment copied from this page: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=40971&start=120 I just got my Archos 101 last night. There are many things I like about the device. I'm not ready to do a full review, however I would like to comment on my experience with the di...

Overall viewing angle: Bad. No sweet spot at all. Major color distortion and contrast shifts at every angle. Portrait mode: Terrible horizontal viewing angles. When viewed straight on screen fades from dead center left and right. Landscape: Slightly better than portrait. Still there is no angle at ...

Youtube is flawless.

Nice, and how are videos from gametrailers.com / tgwtg.com ? Thanks in advance!

USB Sticks usually devour battery juice on laptops / netbooks pretty quickly, don't know about MicroSD though,

Test video playback from sites like gametrailers.com

Thanks!

Kill apps your not using

Hey, Just wanted to update those who are still on the fence. Battery life is great! From Friday evening I have not charged it. 2 hours of browsing and using doggcatcher. Saturday morning another couple of hours on gametrailers and gamespot. Saturday evening light web browsing. Sunday morning couple...

I saw it during JBMM.fr live broadcast

Yeah, I have been wondering that as well. Angry Birds looked awesome on the 101 by the way

Cool, nice vid Charbax!

A few questions:

Which brightness setting did you use? Low, mid or high? I would like to know this because of the battery life.

You played 720p videos, was the bitrate for those files above 6mbp/s ?

Sounds good btw, thanks for the report!

The 101 is the way to go for me, I already have a HTC Desire, the Archos 70 wouldn't be that much of a improvement when it comes to screensize. My 10 inch NetBook only has a battery life of 2 hours and can┬┤t play 720p, so yeah, the 101 is the ultimate solution

I want to replace my netbook with a Archos 101. There is just one thing holding me back from buying it, the .mkv playback. I have a crapload of 720p movies on my network hdd and I would love to be able to stream those. I just wonder how it performs when the bitrate exceeds 6mb :) Oh and Charbax, kee...
