Mine should arrive tomorrow so I will report back. From the reviews I've read I felt it was worth a shot to try for the price compared to other tablets.
My stepson got his back in jan.. and I didnt have to side load any market or anything.. it came already with a program that loaded the market automatically when I started the device. so far i have been able to download most apps that i have on my evo and streak 7.. i must say that the archos 101 is a very awesome device, and has come in handy especially with the usb host.. i would definitely recommend an archos 101.
You can now buy it for £150 from carphone warehouse - how will it compare to the new wave of android tabs that are coming out - like the lenova or the new amazon tablet?
