Looks pretty sweet! Hopefully the price will drop more :)
It using an OMAP4 is more than enough to just declare it the fastest tablet made to date. Good job Archos.
I love my Archos tablet thats 10 inches. It's fucking great for movies.
No 3g internet? meh. Still great though.
lol archos tablets.
And developers will still ignore Android and develop all these high end apps like Street Fighter IV or Final Fantasy for iPhone and iPad :suicide:

Not sure if mechanical hard drives mix well with a mobile device such as a tablet. Besides, what do you need 250GBs for on a tablet? I am having a hard time filling up 32GB.

I posted this ages ago in the android thread.
[QUOTE=chrishind10;31622702]Original iPods work just fine don't they...[/QUOTE] That's completely irrelevant to what I am saying.
[QUOTE=B!N4RY;31623020]That's completely irrelevant to what I am saying.[/QUOTE] Not true, since that means that the harddrive wont break due to common use of the tablet. And that's how both he and I interpreted your post as. [QUOTE=B!N4RY;31622095]Not sure if mechanical hard drives mix well with a mobile device such as a tablet.

I LOVE YOU ARCHOS. You revived my hope in buying a tablet. I was thinking about getting an archos 101 but the display just put me down. Ill get you and get you and get you! 8" is perfect(inb4 optimistic) and that tablet will be in my hands like snuggim wuggims would [editline]9th August 2011[/editline] But wait does it have android market support? [editline]9th August 2011[/editline] • MPEG-4 HD (up to 1080p) fuck yes [editline]9th August 2011[/editline] With optional plug-in: • Cinema: MPEG2 (up to DVD resolution MP/D1) With the above codecs, the device can play video files with the following extensions: AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG, PS, TS, VOB, MKV, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, WMV better not cost [editline]9th August 2011[/editline] It does support the market! WIN WIN

Somehow I think a small MP3 player such as the iPod gets thrown around a bit more than a tablet.
[QUOTE=Van-man;31604815]That ain't much storage, and streaming isn't always the solution.[/QUOTE] Its plenty of storage for a couple of movies on the go if you aren't around your home network and insist on downloading full movies to your device. If you are, then streaming from your main PC works exactly like it would if you had it downloaded to your device. So why bother spending the extra cash just for a large hard drive and a likely much worse battery life? It's not really all that nessicary in this day and age.
I can't imagine using that much space on a tablet unless I downloaded every app from Android market.
Oh what that fuck. My macbook air (I was given it, I didn't buy it :v:) has a 1.8ghz processor and 64gb of flash memory. Pretty soon tablets and phones will be more powerful than my computer..

I wish this would work with my Asus Eee PC transformer. I'd like to use this with the keyboard instead of the 16Gb tablet I already have
Time to sell my iPad for this
