Archos 8" G9, By

Fantastic piece of kit but remember, this is not an iPad. It does exactly what it says it does and fast enough to really enjoy using it. Internet access is fast and page flipping really good. Applications are as good, and plenty of freebies available from games to serious apps. Create your own apps by using "Apps Inventor" available separately. The case is OK given the price and this is a gift or personal pressie to seriously consider. FAB 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful
Seems like a good tablet, but mine was faulty., By

My partner got me this for Christmas. Seemed like a good tablet, has a mini-HDMI port, 3G USB Stick port (which CAN be used for other usb devices... such as external hard drives, usb thumb drives etc, and can play movies straight off the thumb drive etc) To use a USB device you will have to turn 3G on in the settings/quick settings.The unit I received had a faulty audio jack, so it was impossible to play sound through headphones. The even worse problem I had was that it would repeatedly click the back button for no reason when holding it in certain positions.
Although I received a faulty unit, Amazons support was FANTASTIC. Spoke to a live chat rep, and he sent me out a replacement straight away via First Class (receiving it today/tomorrow).
I was happy the fact that they did not want to receive the old one before dispatching, as many companies wait to receive the defective one until they dispatch a new one.
Hopefully the new tablet will work great.
I would recommend this tablet to others, IF they get a working unit..
Although, I'd wait until Amazon start selling the Turbo version of this, as its more powerful for not much more than this price.

The Best Value Tablet on the market, By
D. G. Thomas (Laugharne, Wales) - See all my reviews

I have an iPad, an Asus Transformer, a Hannspad, an Advent Vega, a 7inch witstech and a archos.I have to say that by far the Archos is the best value for money
The iPad may be slicker, but mainly that is due to the software
The transformer more polished
but the Archos is still better value
There is a slight rippling on the screen, when you push hard from behind, although I have heard that this has been fixed.
I have ordered but not yet tried the 3G integral stick, which is genius!
I love that you can charge it via USB
It also has a great screen and good battery life, not as much as the 10 inchers, but close enough, a good 7 hours.
my only gripe to not give it 5 stars is that one of the few areas where it is let down is the lack of encryption - it is an omission from the standard honeycomb....possibly as the unit does get a little hot with continuos use, not too hot to handle, but you notice. I guess that the lack of a decent heat sink, might cause it issues with the hour that it takes to encrypt a tablet....
I now also (because of work) have an Ainol novo 7 elf - they are now the best value tablet on the web, but I have not got a 3g dongle to work yet....
