Archos 7 8GB Home Tablet Black

The Archos 7 Home Tablet is an inexpensive Android tablet meant for people who want to access (not create) media like video, audio, images, e-mail and Web content, but donâ??t have high performance expectations. Aided by the easy-to-use Android 1.5 operating system, I found that the Archos 7 performed these tasks relatively well, but I had trouble navigating to, and controlling, these applications using the deviceâ??s touchscreen. The Archos 7 is the big brother to the earlier Archos 5, and while the screen is bigger, I could find little else to call an improvement over the earlier device. The Archos 7 still has the same 480-by-800 screen resolution, and the user interface looks and feels very similar to the earlier device. Connectivity is Wi-Fi only (802.11 b/g), as before. You must still rely on the limited Archos AppsLib market instead of the bigger Android Market to get new apps for the device. Vitals Bigger than a smartphone and smaller than a laptop, the Archos 7 is 8 inches wide, 4.2 inches tall, and 0.5 inch thick. It weighs 13.7 ounces (the Kindle is 10.2 ounces, the iPad is 24 ounces). The screen is 7 inches wide. On top of the device, youâ??ll find the power switch and the micro SD card slot. The headphone jack, power connector, and USB port are located on the right-side edge (if youâ??re facing the screen).

Archos 7 Home Tablet

Leading the way with one of the first products to make it to market in the post-iPad tablet deluge, Archos presents its inexpensive, more-compact answer to the iPad: The Archos 7 Home Tablet ($199.99 direct;8GB). The 7-inch tablet runs an Android-based operating system that's as open as Apple's iPhone OS is controlled. The Archos 7 can be forgiven for its less-than-graceful user interface because of its low price tag, but the most glaring annoyances - an unpolished interface and a touch screen that lacks proper sensitivity - prevent it from being a cure-all tablet. At 4.2 by 8 by 0.5 inches and 13.7 ounces, the black plastic Archos 7 is manageable to hold while still offering a large, 7-inch, 800-by-480-pixel touch screen. It comes with a built-in kickstand - something Apple should've implemented for the much larger, heavier iPad ($699, ). The kickstand makes it even easier to manage for video watching and other hands-free uses. Unfortunately, the aforementioned screen sensitivity, or lack thereof, makes the kickstand less useful when you need to type or select on-screen options - a light tap doesn't always get the job done, and the kickstand doesn't provide sufficient resistance. The top panel of the Archos 7 houses the Power/Lock switch, a MicroSD card slot, and a charging indicator.

Archos 7 Home Tablet

While most Android tablets are still months away from launch, Archos is getting a jump on the competition with its Archos 7 Home Tablet, a low-cost device for family members to casually access news, weather, and other web content. At $199, this slate costs less than half the price of the Apple iPad. So what are you giving up? The Archos 7 doesn’t support Flash, it lacks a webcam, and the Android Market is off limits. On the other hand, this device provides an inexpensive way to browse the web and check e-mail, and it supports a ton of media formats for playback. The kickstand is also a nice perk. Is the Archos 7 worth a look, or do you have to set your expectations too low? The 8 x 4.2 x 0.5-inch Archos 7 is too big for a pocket, but certainly more compact than the iPad. The design is essentially the same as the Archos 7 Internet Tablet (7.5 x 4.3 x 0.6 inches), yet much lighter—13 ounces vs. 1.4 pounds, respectively. The Archos 7 has a similar profile to the 12.8-ounce Camangi WebStation, which measures 7.9 x 4.7 x 0.6 inches. Two small speakers flank the 7-inch screen, while headphone, power, and micro-USB ports line the right edge.

Archos 7 Home Tablet Android

We have to give Archos credit for being the first to market with a 100 percent Android tablet and at a price ($199) that's within reach of most people. If you're looking for an iPad killer, the Archos 7 Home Tablet misses the mark, but it's not without its redeeming qualities. Design Like most tablet computers, the Archos 7 Home Tablet isn't much to look at. It's a plastic slab that measures 8 inches wide by 4.25 inches tall by 0.5 inch thick--the dimensions feel nice in the hand and may even fit in a generous-size pocket. Taking a cue from Apple, Archos' tablet design has a minimum of buttons and ports. There's a power switch up top, along with a microSDHC memory expansion slot. On the right side, you'll find sockets for headphones, the included power adapter, and Micro-USB port. Apart from the speaker grilles on the front and an integrated plastic kickstand on the back, that's about all there is to the tablet's design. If you were hoping for a volume switch or a home button, you'll have to be content with the tablet's onscreen controls. We can't say we're happy about that, especially given the inherent response latency that comes with resistive touch screens, compared with the capacitive displays used on many of today's smartphones.
