is there going to be an archos tablet forum?

i'm thinking of getting the archos 101 tablet, not ready to shell out that much cash for a galaxy tab, and i was wondering if xda will have a forum for it. i'm hoping so becasue i would love to see a good amount of development for it. the specs are pretty nice for a budget tablet.

I'm getting the 101 also..
released officially in the States November 8th. A Monday. I have gapps4Archos.apk and market4archos.apk's if you need

i just saw where tigerdirect is letting you pre order, unfortunately they already sold their first shipment so they are not taking orders at this time. i called and talked to a rep and he said they will begin shipping them out on the 1st and expects them to be back up for order then. it really looks like a nice tablet, then add the low price to the nice specs and its a no brainer for me. i'm sure when better tablets come out next year i'll want to upgrade...but for now this tablet looks really exciting!

I have preordered my 101 too already. The e-store where I ordered it have said 9th. will be the shipping date. So only a weeke and a half to go
Would also love to see lots of development on Archos (and other future android tablets).

i'm still not sure where to preorder from, i was gonna order from tiger direct but it appears they are out for now....as well as amazon. the archos canada twitter site llnks you to a place that is still taking orders i may order from them not sure yet. i'd rather order from somewhere within the us though.

i pre ordered a 101 8gb this morning from http://www.archos.ca/ and the guy said it would be shipped out via ups the day he gets them in.

I'm really interested in the 101, but it only has 256mb ram... Thats really a Debbie downer for me. I'm looking at a Tegra 2 tablet too, but it seems like everywhere but the States is getting them.
I also emailed xda a suggestion for other tablets, including the Archos.

Yes I was hoping for more ram as well, but the original droid only had that much ram and I think it el be enough I'm sure I will get a gingerbread tablet next year anyways. Still really looking forward to getting this

Ecell Ebay Craziness

E-cell was selling the sensation last night for 419 pounds, the purchases rained down on them myself included...
This morning they have revised their price to 449, but still very cheap, its definitely still the cheapest around...
Just check Ebay and search for HTC Sensation, E-cell will be shown usually near the top

Well they are a reputable company with quite a massive feedback, and in the UK we are covered by distance selling regulations which gives us 14 days cooling off period and we can return within that time for a full refund or exchange.
I think 419 is definitely no money at all for the HTC Sensation

Are they an authorized Samsung retailer? If not, be careful with the warranty.

Its a HTC Phone mate, and all new phones are covered by law which states a 12 month warranty.
If they are a HTC Partner you will get 2 years...

Do you know when you'll get yours? I really wanna know if it's unbranded XD
they say 7-10 days but the sim-free version isn't supposed to be out till the end of june.

To be honest mate, for that price im not too worried 419 for the sensation is a steal I think
Even 449 is still a great price...
What i have seen of E-Cell is they get their stock the same time as others, so its just a matter of waiting.

Sounds like an advertisement thread to me. New guy + Ebay seller mentioned and praised.

If I find links to ebay in this thread, I'll lock it.
@ OP
Previous poster is right, new member + Ebay support thread
Just a heads up guys

As it happens im not a new member, I was under the name of Jupiterdroid but erased my account as i have a massive year at university this year and would not be using my account as much.. You can even confirm that with Mick Channon.. So before you start throwing accusations around find out facts! I had well over 2000 posts with the JD account, i wanted it closed as i knew it would be inactive for long periods of time. So Mod get running to Mick and he will tell you the story..
I bought the Sensation for 419, dont you think that is worth writing about when the actual price is 500? Just trying to help the community when i can

Good buy mate
There isnt anywhere else cheaper thats a fact Even though they have now moved it to 450 its still the cheapest. I think they really undercooked it at 419, they had like 15 sales in 5 hours lol.

I know. I was shocked. Lol. I was actually In two minds about buying it now or a month or two down the line. Glad i got it now.
I got mine around midnight.
419....I paid that much for my dhd over a month after it was released.
I'll let you know how it goes once I get it. Now just hope these bootloaders will be unlocked. Then I can design my own theme and flash away

I would really advise you to be very careful when dealing with ecell.
Just google ecell ebay.
They have a very sketchy record with high value items like phones.
I bought a nexus one over a year ago. Had to file a paypal dispute after I found out that they lied about shipping the phone.

That does sound dodgy, but with over 600,000 phones sold and a good feedback in the high 90's im sure your one was a minor glitch in comparision.
In the UK we have distance selling regulations on our side, so if you dont like it, return it within 14 days and get a refund

Actually it is not 600 000 sold phones. It is 600 000 sold items with a vast majority being low-value items - this is how they boost their feedback.
The research I've done after I ordered my n1 from them indicates that this it was not a minor glitch and their tactics is based on waiting for the 40-day PayPal dispute window to expire. They come up with excuses as to why they haven't shipped yet or outright lie to you (as was in my case) claiming that the phone has been shipped.
Maybe they've changed their ways, I don't know. Just thought a heads up was in order.

your actually right, looking through the negative feedbacks im alarmed at the significant number of feedbacks regarding phones arriving a month late. im not sure now whether im going to go ahead with them. they did seem abit dodgy, only thing that was persuading me to buy was the 60,000 feedback

Hp Touchpad Info from Best Buy

Hey guys, I work for Best Buy and I thought I would post here just to give anyone who cares a little bit of an update. As of this morning, we were told to pull all the HP product and ship it back. Then, we got an email (not sure if it was just our district or not) that said we could sell them for $99 and $149 respectively! So we did, the 16GBs sold within 2 minutes and the ~20 or so 32GBs we had were gone in less than 15 mins. What kinda sucked was that I wanted one, but you couldn't buy them if you were on the clock When we were notified that we could sell them around 4:45PM, as many employees that could took their lunch and bought them and the employees that were leaving at 5PM bought the last of them.
As of right now, we aren't supposed to get any other stock in and any shipments we would have had are getting sent back to HP. We (Best Buy) has a very good relationship with HP so they don't have a problem taking them back and selling them.
Some stores may not have gotten the notification that they can sell their remaining stock yet, but hopefully they did. You may have a hard time finding one, but good luck! If you guys have any questions on this, I will try to answer as best as I can.

remain 99 dollars?

Sorry, I edit my post to include that. Yes, $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB.

I hope you get one viper, would love to see your rom on it when they port android to it

I tell ya...it's been a pretty convoluted event with this Best Buy B.S. At one moment they say they will ship all TPs back to HP and then the next moment they are selling them off. I actually got one yesterday morning for the full price and waiting for it to go on sale. Then Best Buy reports they won't go on sale. So I return mine for a refund yesterday after the report. The people at the store confirm they won't go on sale too. Then today they go on sale and are already sold out.
That's BB for you.

Well I have the Transformer now bug would love a Touchpad, my dad bought one but he doesn't know if he wants to keep it or not so I will take it off his hands if he doesn't. I tried to but one yesterday but you had to be off the clock which sucked.

Yes it was screwed up. They are sending the rest back but they were under a lot of pressure to sell what they had in stock. Even worse is that if you bought it from BB before the price drop, they won't match it. And our store told us that people could not return them if they bought them at the sale price.

i want one with 32gb
http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_transformer_pad_infinity_700-4606.php

Unknown as of yet. Rumors go that, while the 64 GB version will officially go retail in somewhat less than two weeks, the 32 GB version will only start shipping when existing stocks of 32 GB Primes have run out. All predictions I have seen to date have put it somewhere in September, with some suggesting slippage of the release date to the holiday season (i.e., Christmas time).

According to a user in the General Infinity Thread the 32GB with Dock is available in Spain for €619.

That'd be great news, at least for the Spaniards. I'm happy with the 64 BGB version, but the price premium admittedly is a bit steep for 32 GB....
Lucky b'stards -- win the world soccer championship, then the European one, and get the cheaper version of the Infinity...

komplett dot ie had 5
(Sorry, no link posting for me yet!)
But they are sold out until the 24th July now.
I think I might wait until the end of the month, as the price might drop slightly with better supply.

That's for the 64GB version. I ordered it on Monday for €749 and now they've reduced the price to €729 and sold out! I wonder if I'll be refunded €20...

It arrived today while I'm at work. Very eager to get home and give it a whirl!
It's my first tablet purchase so my perspective may be different to that of a seasoned user.
Will post feedback in the general thread tonight/tomorrow morning.

I would quite like to see your thoughts on using it instead of a laptop, I was thinking of replacing my laptop with a desktop, and using a remote desktop connection to that from the Transformer for heavy work, and quickoffice etc for standard day to day stuff.

I am confused...

Seriously, what the hell is going on with this tablet and it's release date?
I check these forums every day for months, and I just had to make an account to ask this. I see everyone ordering from overseas, the release date was supposed to be July 14th in USA, well what gives? It's July 25th and there is NO WORD ANYWHERE.
I am getting pretty frustrated so if anyone can give me a reason why there is no date set yet, or why Asus is being so god dam secretive about it like it is the most important thing in the world ever. Also concealing a release date offers no benefit to Asus. This is dumb as ****... /endrant
Anyone have any info yet?

A quick search of the forums will show many North American stores have been selling it since ~16th of July. You can order it online through many of the American retailers (B&H, Tiger Direct, Amazon, Best Buy).

I've had my TF700 & dock since last Thursday! I ordered it on Monday from Office Depot (online).... I guess you just weren't looking hard enough!

Hey, I live in the US and I've had my Infinity for a week now. Got it from a domestic vendor too (newegg, specifically). It's out, trust me, just really in high demand and hard to find. I was lucky enough to place an order when Newegg just got a shipment in, and it was sold out within an hour.

continued ptedsel
Distribution of this tablet is trully wired. At the begining of June, I read that tablet will be aviable in England in late August.
I was very suprised, when I saw Infinity in shop in Poland. I did buy 64GB version with dock on 29 June without any problems.

Keep in mind we are a international community here at XDA. Mani are purchasing from outside the states sources because they are also out side of the states. You'll still have a little trouble getting your hands on one in store, but I ordered mine from amazon two days ago and it will be at my door today when I get home from work (I hope).

You can use the website http://www.nowinstock.net to see availability of the device in the US. Great resource for finding some of the hottest tech products.

Hey, thanks for the quick responses everyone. I have been avoiding ordering this online as I have had many problems in the past ordering devices online. Looks like I have no choice then...
Amazon has always been decent to me, I would try them except it says it would ship within 2 months....More waiting yay!

Can't be to hard to find. I ordered and got mine from best buy last week and decided I want one more so I called best buy here in Idaho yesterday. They said they would have 95 units in store this Thursday. If you look at LA California BB stores they all have been in stock since last Thursday.

Yes I see Amazon has the 32 gig in stock, but I wanted the 64 gig...
If anyone finds any 64 gig infinity in stock anywhere in America, I'd really appreciate you posting it here , thanks. As far as I can see, there are no 64 gb units anywhere in US.

$20 more than MSRP, but the C1 is the 64GB flavor.

I actually just ordered both the 64 gig grey pad and the dock for $750 total from Newegg. Both should be here Friday.
Get em while you can people!

so, it is available and can be bought
