Yes, this is so disappointing as a user. I can't even imagine being one of their developers and receiving this news. Nokia showed much promise with Maemo/Meego, and just went nowhere with it. But to jump to Win7Pho? Crazy.

I like the WebOS interface (well I haven't seen a touchpad, I'm talking Palm Pre). I am disappointed with the hardware, it's a clone of the iPad, except, wow what an innovation, they added a camera!

enthalpy- i tried appslib download, and kept getting told date needed to be june 20 2010, and when i did that, still didn't work... and if i just go to site, there is no install options... Just a guess here, but you may need the new version 2 appslib installed. Go to this site with your A5IT and ta...

No, don't format it. That means Windows would try to convert it to FAT32, deleting everything. Which mode did you use to get this far? MSC or MTP? But this is good news, it confirms that your USB port is working. The best thing to try at this point is sweetypie's advice, install the Ext2 driver on y...

Even if you can't connect it to your PC, and don't install the Market, this is not required in order to enjoy your A5IT. The AppsLib lets you browse through Archos approved apps and try those out. It's no Android Market but there's plenty to try. And without upgrades, the A5IT is a great video and m...

Hi everyone! Just purchased an Archos from Ebay, it doesn't come with the DVR Saddle which didnt think would be a problem as I thought they'd be easy to find!... They're not! Does anyone know where I can get one to fit an Archos 5 Internet tablet (160gb) to a gen 7 dock? Many thanks! Look forward t...

Are you able to return your A101? It sounds like you got a bad item. It should boot, not go into a reboot cycle. Return it or exchange it for another one. When the A101 works, it is a nice machine.

Truthfully, the Ipad and the current crop of Android tablets aren't really suitable for note taking since they lack an active digitizer with special pen for writing. At present, an active digitizer is the only reliable technology that allows you to take real time notes with consistent accuracy. Tha...

Hi, I am hating this pc tablet at the moment. I have no idea what I am doing. I have purchased the Archos 101 8gb with android 2.2froyo and it should support adobe flash player, but when I go on You tube it won't let me download the adobe - it just tells me that it doesn't support this application....

No. Skype is not supporting Android at this time. They may have something later this year. (which means it probably won't support Android 1.6)

I am talking about the U.S. here. And more accurately, Skype has an agreement with Verizon in the U.S. so only Verizon Android devices get skype.

hi peeps total noobie here. i am looking to get an archos 5 int tablet but can't decide on the 32gb or 8 gb ,any suggestions ,or what is the prefered choice as i can get the 32gb for about same price as the 8gb [i only using it for mp3,s and watching videos tbh ]oh and can the 5 get android 2,2 ?? ...

The other comment I am going to make is that the people who have had fail-to-start problems on this forum are the people who bought the hard disc model. A spinning hard disc is more likely to be damaged in a portable device. So, if you are careful with your electronics, the 500 GB may work fine. I t...

Compatible how? I haven't tried it, but I expect that if you connect your ipod to the USB port on the Gen 8, you could play music from the ipod using the Archos. The compatibility listed on the box is to tell you what desktop computers can connect to the Archos. Windows isn't really required, just u...

Now the Archos store shows both models. But the Archos 48 is in stock, and the Archos 5 is not. The (greyed out) price for the A5 500 GB is $449, while the (available, in stock) price for the A48 500 GB is $299. That's a big difference.

I'll admit, that's pretty funny. It's accurate though, the A5Android really has a 4.8" screen. And comes in a 500 GB model. Some photos on the page show "Archos 48", others show "Archos 5". I put it in my Cart, I'm sure they'd take your money if you followed through with it. So you put in random pro...

I have also returned my A101 (unfortunately). Mine had the touch not working problem, in the middle of the screen. After returning it, I now have read the ribbon cable problem pressing on the screen was probably causing it. In my case, I bought it from Amazon, and Amazon took it back, with full refu...

I had the same problem, and ended up sending back my A101. I did do the recalibration in the Settings menu, no improvement. Then I did the recalibration in the boot menu (power on / volume button menu), it was a little better, but still really annoying to use, dead to touch in the center. I called A...

The way to do this automatically is to get your contacts into gmail, when you tie your device to your gmail account, it synchronizes them. I don't have an Iphone, but I copied all my contacts to a file, and gmail imported them. But -- I think this requires that you install the google Market first, a...

Hi guys, New to the forum. Signed up coz i just received my A101IT. Now, this is part of a review on the A101T I read on Amazon: The unit has a serious design flaw, which allows the inbuilt LI-ON battery to run down to 0% charge. Once the battery reaches 0%, it does not get charged again. I have tr...

- ist that maybe the reason (i did the mistake)

I did the same thing too. The battery number kept decreasing. After it reached zero, I realized the power plug goes on the bottom hole, not the earphone hole near the on button.
