I sold my iphone 4 and got a Dell Streak 5. I will admit it took a little while to get used to the larger size. Now I love it. I doubt if I will ever go back to a smaller screen.
I assume this was recent? Since the Streak is getting a little old I'm trying to hold off to see what latest & greatest ...

I only got the 70 because the 43 wasnt capacitive.
+1 on that.

For me a 4.5-5" would be perfect. I've gone back to using my Nokia N900 (3.5") as my mobile device & leaving the A70 for mostly home use. I do have to admit though that after using the A70 for a while I find the screen on the N900 too ...

SharpÔÇÖs 5.5-inch, 7-inch and 10.8-inch Galapagos tablets have been in or through the FCC
Only know that they have 802.11b/g/n WiFi.
Further details withheld at Sharp's request.

The 5.5" one this thread is interested in is:
Sharp 5 ...

Actually, I've moved to a dumb phone as all my media/browsing usage has moved to the tablet.

This is not for any other reason than old age! ;)

My eyes are not as good as they used to be (darned phone screen), and my fingers can no longer select the miniscule links on web pages.

Lo! the tablet ...

Why not get a 4.3" or 4.5" dual core Android phone instead, since one device and better connectivity?
Well, for myself my work supplies me with a phone, so I don't need to pay for my own. That being said, the Dell Streak _is_ a phone as well, so that option is open, and although it's not dual-core ...

You might want to consider getting a dell streak - considering its an older device, newly rejuvenated with 2.2.2 and getting 2.3 and probably above, it is a suprisingly good device, what the A5 should have been
That's funny you mention that 'cause I was just checking out the specs & reviews myself ...

I for one am very dissapointed. I'd appreciate if you guys keep this thread updated with what you find. I'm still looking for a good pocketable tablet. TX

My work supplied me crackberry, so I didn't need the phone but wanted my own toy that i could play with as I choose :). I've been through several Zaurus's & Nokia IT's & wanted to try Android. I was attracted by the size & price of the A28, but the hardware was too limited so bought the A43, didn't ...

just installed netflix app in my archos70 and it work perfect....you guy are great....thank you. ;)
Glad it's working, but don't thank just us, we're just the messengers. :)

p.s just one more question...is it wise to root this device?what is urukdroid?
http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki ...

Hi Grog,

Mine is A70 250 what is yours? Do you have to root your device? I am newbie so I won't be able and I dare not doing that. Did you do anything special other than downloading the apk?
Thanks!
Hi DigitPalm. A70S here & while it is rooted with urukdoid, I used the same apk as you. As well ...

I side loaded the one without the device check. It installs, but no matter how many times I try my correct email/PW "times out" each time. (70, 250GB)
By any chance you are from Canada? I am in Canada and I am getting the same time out message. I believe the App logs into netflix.com not netflix ...

I don't have my gen8 this weekend my daughter stole it from me so I can't test this. :badgrin:

I have read in the following post that the device check disabled apk will work and wouldn't require root.

Worth a try if it works ...

You can make a copy of the original and replace it if you like or reedit it's only two lines. I haven't noticed any issues so far. As I said this requires root if you have been able to do that this is a simple enough way to enjoy Netflix for now.
Exactly what I did & it works. KEWL!

Archos A70S ...

What wll break doing this? I mean these settings are meant for something, right. :doubt:

I have Netflix working.

I have UrukDroid-1.1beta2 installed on my Archos 70 but should work with other ROMs if you are rooted.

You just need to open & edit /system/build.prop

I used Root Explore but any ...

The A70 & A101 both have capacvitive screens, while the A43, A32 & A28 all have resistive AFAIK. HTH

It's been a few days & looks like the problem has been fixed at last in at least RC3 (not sure about RC2 but I know RC1 hadn't fixed it for me).

Thanks again FZelle. I appreciate the help.

This has nothing to do with uruk but the now often mentioned mediascaner of archos.
Since i have changed to 1.0rc1 this hasn't happen again.

And rc 3 is even better,so if you want to do something,get rc3 and after that switch on mediascanner remove nomedia where you want and probably you will have ...

.nomedia means "don't scan from here on".
So the mediascanner doesn't scan any files/directories from here on which also means that these files can't show up in gallery or music app ( except in directory mode ).

So if you wan't to see the files in the gallery you have to delete the .nomedia.
Or ...

Hi all,

just wanted to report back on my case.

Used to have the same problems where video files got deleted after reboot.

However, after having a .nomedia files in SDCARD, and turn MEDIASCANNER to "1" in uruk.conf, my player and photo organizer captures all my files.

Running Urukdroid 2.6.29 ...

He knows.
Good to know.

Do you use .nomedia and also did you switch the MediaScanner of?

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3692
Here you can see why the .nomedia is no good idea.
I had read that, but using .nomedia before putting any files in a folder is the only way I've found ...
