Android Phone? There’s a Bigger Market for the OS


go.tagjag.com – twitter.com – You don’t necessarily have to lock yourself into a two-year contract to make use of the Android operating system. Thanks to the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, you can have video playback and web browsing – and use Android, as well. I ran into Charbax during the leweb conference in Paris last week. He asked me if I’d like to check one of these out, so that I can finally use Android (and an Archos!) myself. I’m more than grateful to them for providing this unit to me for review purposes. chris.pirillo.com – http

    Be careful that it is the archos 5 with android and not the last generation without. The 5s without android are cheap.

    The app store that’s the best. Apple App Store. FTW. But that’s nice too. And I love google!

    @blowtell3 That’s one stupid comment.. Why would you hold the device and having it shaking around the screen all the time as he moves, plus blocking the view of the screen, when you got a perfectly good stand? And hes not the one with Britney videos on his channel. Queer.

    the horrible reviews probably come from either ipod trend-lovers or people who are trying to run way too many apps on it at once (for the ones who complain about crashing issues)

    the headbox dont work after 2 months
    you have to press the shell to make it work
    every hour hanging 2-3 times
    Fm-Transmitter only usable with Headset
    Radio dont work good
    The new firmware help not for the crashes
    and scrolling is very bad

    Archos are cheap and support are is unfriendly
    Keep away of cheap Products
