    4.0 out of 5 stars 360 degree Archos 101 review, 17 Feb 2011
    This review is from: ARCHOS 10.1 16 GB Internet Tablet (Personal Computers)
    I have been using Archos 101 for a month and I thought my experience might be useful for the other Amazon visitors. Before Archos 101 product, I had a chance of using iPad and Samsung Galaxy tab - which are our test tablets for the applications we developed. All tablet devices have their own pros and cons, I think as a buyer you are the one who know your needs best and you can decide which one fits your requirements.

    I would like to evaluate the product from different aspects:

    SCREEN SIZE:
    It has 10.1 excellent high resolution capacitive multitouch screens - be careful it is rectangular, not square type like iPad and the rest of the other 10inches (if you are looking for a case - this might be good to know) in the market.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Good product albeit with design flaws, 9 Jan 2011

    This review is from: ARCHOS 10.1 16 GB Internet Tablet (Personal Computers)
    I had high expectations from the Archos 101 from the many reviews on CNET and other review sites. When I finally got my hands on one of these, I was happy with the device in general, but was there were some issues which I could not accept and hence with a heavy heart I returned the item back last week.

    The following are + and - of this device:
    +1 Great looking, very lightweight and feels well-built.
    +2 Has all the required codecs to play multimedia files.
    +3 Wi-fi and USB connectivity is good. I have not been able to test the HDMI connectivity though.
    +4 The screen has a decent resolution and is quite responsive to the touch (as its capacitive).
    +5 Price - I got mine in december 2010 for �272 which is far less than the Samsung Galaxy Tab or iPAD

    -1 The unit has a serious design flaw, which allows the inbuilt LI-ON battery to run down to 0% charge. Once the battery reaches 0%, it does not get charged again. I have tried a lot of CPR... Read more
