Archos 101 advice before i buy please.

Post by poyntie »

Hi i'am looking at getting the archos 101 for xmas but have a few questions if anyone can help. I would like to know if you can use sky go on archos tablets, if I can connect my ipod as well and if i can connect my digital camera and download pics easy enough? Any advise would be much appreciated thanks.

Yep thanks for the advice but already tried this before posting. Would hav thought they were fairly simple (either yes or no would do) questions for an expert. Thanks.

No need to get upset. It's just that most people don't search. My apologies if you did.
As far as your questions:
Sky Go - Not sure.
iPod - If you can use it on a computer without iTunes, it possible, but unlikely.
Camera - my cameras all work, though some report them not working.

Just one thing to add, although if you HAVE searched this forum, you probably already know. Many A101 users have experienced failure of the USB port, although to be fair, mine is still ok.

I only mention it because your usage would require a working USB port.

Trust me. Don't buy an Archos A101. You'll be sorry. I know I was.

I guess you will always get a variety of opinions -mI have had my 101 for more than a year and have found it to be just about faultless. I use it for ebooks, email, web, music and videos.

Sorry but I do not have Sky Go so cannot help with that but once they release the android app there is no reason why it would not work.

My only complaint is that it gets laggy sometimes. Otherwise, I'm happy!

Hi

This is my first post, had mine about a week and I'm happy with it, it locks up sometimes but that's life.

As far as I know you can not use sky go I've got it on my laptop and also on my kids Xbox but I can not get it to work on my archos 101 g9.

This forum is for the G8. You'll get better help in the G9 area
