Sigh...
The newly announced Archos 7"/8" tablets look nice, but a higher resolution than 800x480 would really be great. Unfortunately, that's (at the moment) the maximum resolution officially supported by Android. One thing that I also do not like with these tables is that they do not have hard keys for home/menu/back but they display these buttons in the upper part of the display. It works, but you'll probably waste screen space for these buttons... :-( Furthermore, Archos seems to have some problems with its Android base system. Many users complain about an unresponsive and slow system (at least for the Android 5"). Looks like a great idea with high potential, but the current implementation does not meet the user's expectations. :-( -- flattermann Home of 'SqueezeCommander' (http://www.squeezecommander.com) - The SqueezeBox Remote Control App for Android ------------------------------------------------------------------------ flattermann's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33169 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75802 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
