Make sure you enable 3rd party apps. YAY!

BTW, version 2 froze on a white screen after logging in. Version 1.3 allowed me to log ...

The release notes don't mention fixing the problem of the device not going into Deep Sleep. I will tell it to go into Deep Sleep and the green light stays on. This happens after after it's been put into Deep Sleep a few times and then it (Archos 70) will only go into Standby mode. I've tried closing ...

I did a clean install of 2.0.71 several weeks ago. the wifi had been working fine until last night. Now it says "Error" under Wi-Fi. I've tried rebooting several times. Is there a way to fix this w/o doing a reset?

Update: I just did a hard reboot (held power for 10 seconds) and it came back. Never ...

LOL I can't even buy the plugin since my product key starts with a number... :(

1) I changed the first number to a letter (I think it was 'J') and was able to purchase the Cinema Plugin. They will send an Activation Code.

2) When you go to download, you need to fill in the real Product Key, S/N ...

I've been trying to buy the MPEG plugin for the Archos 70, I am disappointed by the amateurish errors on the Archos Store.

1) There was an error (I don't remember where) that is in French only. I am in the US.

2) They ask for the product key before ordering the plugin. I entered the key which ...

FYI, in the US, Archos is requiring someone to be there to receive the UPS package. You can't just leave a signature. This might save you a day or 2 in anxiety.

Just got a notice that the 70 that I ordered from Archos 2 days ago has shipped!!!

Looks like Archos has stopped taking orders. They've replaced the "Add to Cart" button with "Notify Me".

Just got another email from TD. They expect shipment to arrive on the 8th.

I called TD. The operator said that the Archos 70 was in and they'd ship tomorrow. 10 minutes later I received the email about the 19th! Jeesh.
