you should go to Settings/Repair & Formatting/”Reset Android” (the option that doesn’t delete your PERSONAL FILES. After the device reboots, try to connect to the internet and open AppsLib. It should do the trick.

]]>Find help in my: http://forum.archosfans.com
]]>1. surfing the web
2. internet communication(email, Facebook, Skype, chat’s, … and stuff like that) when not at desktop computer and where i can get WiFi signal
3. taking notes and some word processing
4. using it to show interested people my photo work (this is very important to me)
5. listening to music and watching films when i really don’t know what else to do with it or when on the road to make time go faster 🙂
6. games…hmmm…well probably the same as music and films 🙂
My question’s for all you Archos fans and users are:
1. Which model would you pick for that list of stuff i would like to use it…A70 8GB or A70 250GB or maybe A101?
2. If i pick A70 8GB will it be able to connect to my LaCie Rikiki 640GB when i need more storage space?
3. Is bluetooth file transfer possible between A70 and Nokia smartphones symbian (E61, E72, N8, E7), maemo (N900) or future MeGo devices?
I probably have some more questions but for now this will be enough 🙂
Applications for device are not big issue for me…if the stock apps do the job i won’t need some new and even if i do i would use A70 as a work and internet tool not as a toy so i would need some useful and functional apps and not hundreds of colorful apps but without real use and value.
Have fun and respond fast 🙂
]]>i just saw your question about being able to write on an Archos 70. I have been using this tablet for about 10 days now. It does not have installed WP software, but I, myself, bought the full Documents to Go for Android from Dataviz, and it works very well (offering Word, Excel and PowerPoint). I’m also planning to use this tablet with a foldable or rollable Bluetooth keyboard, something I can keep in my pocket. For e-reading, I much prefer my Kindle, although I could use this type of screen for an hour or two, if I had to. The e-reading program on the Archos is excellent; but it’s a little too bright for me. I spend so much time staring at a screen. My Kindle actually rests my eyes during prolonged reading. Hope this helps. Yrs truly, JEAN
]]>TO FAREDDE: The Archos 70 does not have a word processing program installed, but I downloaded the full version of Documents To Go, and it works like a charm (Word, Excel and PowerPoint). I am going to be using it with a foldable or rollable Bluetooth keyboard, since I’m a 10-finger touch typist and not a thumb typist. Basically, I’m now a self-contained, mobile office and media center, unencumbered by a briefcase or tote bag. It feels great to be free. j
]]>My big question on these devices can you write on them I want an need a device that I can takes notes on and convert to an editable document. As well as use as an e reader.
]]>ok thank you.
i got my hopes up for a second 🙂
It’s a MicroSD card slot. What you saw is probably the volume up/down buttons.
]]>if you need it as you describe then i think the flash version is fine for you.
and youn can ad both a cheep 8 gig microsd or an afordable 16 gig if you feel the need.
remember it’ll also take any usbkey or drive. one of it’s strengths is that it doesn’t rely on only a single multiport or proprietary connectors, but has microusb for charging and computer interaction, full usb for connecting to externals, microsd card port, and hdmi.
unlike some others, it offers a lot of flexibillity.
i can only speak for my own preferences as to which i like the best, but in truth any of them seems like really good value.
since the card port is external you could even use a 6$ sd to microsd converter (http://www.maplin.co.uk/searchtemplate.asp?criteria=SD%20CARD%20CONVERTER) and just stick your full size sd to the back of the device. not as elegant, but you’d get the benefits of the speed and capacity of full sd.
“You can also in theory and practice stream that remotely over the Internet when you are not at home. ” Good point also. Still 8gb is bare bones…just enough for the OS and apps!
]]>Yes, I think that is the tough decision to be made. It could pretty much serve as your multi media go to device if thats what you were looking for. For me its 70% about surfing the web on a device like this. A coffee table device, so I think the lighter the better. I just wish they offered up a 16-32gb sd version so that I could still store a little content.
It is too bad they couldnt swing the standard sized sd card here. It would have offered many more faster/cheaper options. I have a 16gb class 6 just sitting in a draw right now.
]]>just don’t forget that the current 32 gig microsd’s are only class2 :-/
a class 4 is on the way, but even that is not that fast.
my verbatim pocket drive transfers at 3mb/sec if i remember correctly.
if you want speed only the smaller sd’s can really satisfy.
would have been gravy if it could take full sized sd’s. those are truely fast.
It’s up to you, 300gr vs 400gr, the HDD version is thicker and costs $75 more.
There are 32GB MicroSD cards for a bunch of money.
In theory, and in practice, you can stream from terrabytes of content that you can host on your local network as samba or upnp shares. You can also in theory and practice stream that remotely over the Internet when you are not at home.
]]>well, a way to get the best of both worlds could be to get an 8 gig class 6+ sd card for pictures and other things you’d like to load quickly.
they retail for around 30$ i think.
and i’m definately getting the 250 gig model. considering the hdmi out it’s a no-brainer for me even though i have a 250 gig verbatim pocketdrive (though i guess you could go for the flash model instaid and have a pocket drive for your big media if needed).
but besides it’s price, i really believe that archos’ big strength over other tablets is it’s media cababillities, and i thoroughly intend to push that to it’s limit. it’ll hold an awfull lot of 720p divx and mp3 and connects so easily to your tv and audio system… totaly worth it.
i just hope the battery can keep up. if not, remember to keep your usb battery charged and with you :p
I think 256MB DDR3 RAM, it might be enough for Android 2.2 and above, which I think better optimize RAM usage for multi-tasking and multiple tabs in the web browser.
]]>You can unscrew the back and change the battery if you want, but then you loose the warranty. They probably can provide battery exchange service for a price a couple years in the future if you still want to continue using it and that the battery capacity gets reduced after several hundred full cycles. User replacable can increase cost, complexity, weight and thickness of consumer electronics devices.
]]>Very nice review, could You provide us with information about ram storage?
]]>Archos 70 is a lot cheaper Android 2.1 (it is supposed to be updated to 2.2 soon) based tablet than Apple iPad.http://138.2.152.197/2010/10/16/archos-70-internet-tablet-review/http://androidcommunity……
]]>Yes Youtube HQ works, that’s I think 480×360 or 480×272 version of Youtube at around 1mbit/s quality h264. For higher quality Youtube, such as 1280×720 2mbit/s h264, we have to wait for Flash support in the Android 2.2 firmware, which may come within days already or a couple weeks. Maybe also there exists a Youtube HD .apk app that could be thus used for streaming Youtube 720p already now. I’ll show this in my next video of this device.
