While i don't disagree with lot of your points, you have nothing to back up these claims. 512mb of RAM may be plenty for a reasonable amount of muti tasking. Just because i can have 10 applications running at once on my transformer, doesn't mean i need to. Plus we may be talking about $300 tablets....

Ive allready seen the video with viewing angles - but it still does not say which display type is used or how the PQ of the screen are, a youtube video cannot properly show that. There are also no videos yet comparing the screen PQ to other good screens like the transformers or the galaxy's or the i...

One information I havent been able to find about the Archos is the display type used I dont understand why more people are not asking about this - especially when making comparisons to other devices like the Asus transformer which use a beautifull IPS display. If the Gen 9 series use the same subpar...

Beleive me, it do make a world of difference If the Archos gen 9 do not come with 1gb ram - I will not buy it, period. Every other real competitor's tablet will have 1gb with very few exceptions 512mb is fine for a phone running froyo, but for a tablet running HC its a different ballgame where multi...

it works in windows and mac because these allready have legacy drivers for it it also works in the Archos Android build because Archos has implemented drivers for it there it doesnt work natively in other manufacturers Android builds because these have not implemented driver for this specific 3g mod...

Actually this Android setting is not specifically for the stock launcher, its a system property setting for any launcher which is set as default. Yes, some replacement launchers have their own workarounds and even settings of their own to keep the launcher in memory, but in my experience these dont ...

its not an Android issue, its an Archos issue caused by 2 things 1. not enough ram - 256mb is simply not enough for a tablet with the demands for applications running on it today. 2. wrong programing of Archos. Google specifically recommends a setting for low memory devices to keep the launcher in m...

heres a nice litle application for easy switching between installed launchers and selecting which to be default

http://spawnweb.dk/Tema_1.0.apk

saves you from having to enter settings etc.

just an information which it seems most Android users dont realize The standard windows media player 11 will synch media perfectly between your pc and any Android device mounted as USB storage - and place music correctly in the default Android music folder, organized by album, artist etc. In additio...

Yes, that is the answer to your original question. It sounds like you are unfamiliar with the Android interface ? Ill make a brief explanation below - please forgive me if you allready know this. The Android interface works like this you have the Android operating system and on top of that a user in...

I have installed all firmwares including the latest with no issues installing whatsoever - and every firmware update including latest has made the tablet better and more stable.

I advice to install

no

How much memory ?

Ram ? App space ? internal storage ?

since allways

its not a new function, select under settings that the power button acts as screenshot button

If they can Archos should eliminate the very very slow (read 10s of seconds) delay sometimes in restoring icons when returning to a Home Screen. Allen I thought this was a memory issue, like the Archos flushes the home app out of memory, which causes the launcher to have to reopen and reload all ic...

speed isnt fine, I have never been able to get more than 5.5Mbps actual throughput on the Archos wifi
Thats noway near enough for streaming 720p mkv files where the variable bitrate can peak up to 30Mbps or even more in some.

And I swear I watched a full episode, but oh well. Thats very possible, just because this particular file is encoded like this doesnt mean all files in an episode is encoded the same way. If you still have files from the episode you watched you can check them with the software mediainfo to see whic...

youre mixing up ram and app space - these are not the same. The storage space for apps has nothing todo with RAM the app space are not taken from ram, but from the same systempartition on the permanent storage as the swap the new swap space will be taken from the same systempartition on the permanen...

no gen8's cant play it either - it is exactly as said before, the blocks are caused by the decoders framebuffer not being able to keep up with the number of ref.frames in the encoded video. It is not a matter of not playing 720p on the device and its not "too high quality" it is just a bad encoding ...
