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

[Q] June 1st?

If the information from this blog (blog.gadgethelpline.com/gsl-live-2011-hands-asus-eee-pad-transformer) is correct, I may be opting for Acer's April 24th release. June 1st is too long to wait for me. By fall I will be selling and getting the new quad-core's anyways.
P.S. Sorry guys can't do the full link. Too new a user still.

I know amazon uk have delayed orders, where are you based and who are you ordering from?

If we dont have at least a launch date by april 24th, i'll probably go with the acer as well.

O wait, he beat me to it

still waiting for the Asus transformer
But the Acer one misses the gorilla glass and Acer has generally lower reliability ratings compared to Asus I believe!

Plus, the Acer unit is not getting any love from anyone right now. It's sort of Transformer-lite but you can get it in the US earlier than the Transformer and spend an extra $50 for that privilege.
It does have USB on the tablet side, while the Transformer has a bit of a kludgey USB port. It has worse glass than the T-former and I think the weight is roughly the same. There are no keyboard-docking options with the Acer, which only has weight on those folks who think a keyboard is necessary. I simply like the option that if I want a tablet now, if I change my mind and want a keyboard, one is there straight from the manufacturer.
But like I started with, the Acer is getting no love. No idea if XDA will have a forum for it or anything, but look at what's getting created here with this site. It's a lot of fun and security to have a techie community like this supporting a product like the Transformer. Look at the love the ipads get and the community behind it, that's a big draw to know that you're making a financial investment ( $400+ ) in something and that you're not in that boat alone.

Here, here ( shouts a stranger from the crowd )

Didn't Acer show a keyboard dock for its tablets long time ago? Maybe they will release some in the future.

So many tablets are scheduled for release in the June timeframe but I want the Asus. I wish they would release a date when it will be available in the us. Even the Acer us at least on bestbuy as coming.
The wait is killing me. I want a tablet and am considering a NC to hold me over but my luck I'll buy one and they'll release the transformers.

[Q] Where to buy in the US for $399 USD?

I have been hunting for the transformer for days/weeks/moths. Finally I am getting close. I know Comet has it on sale for $379 (puonds) but the US price release shows $399 USD, substantially less then comet. Has anyone in the US found a site to pre-order or just order for the $399 price?
I love XDA and have flashed my HD2 with Nexus-HD2-Gingerbread v2.6 and love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the dev's on this site. I appreciate any help.

The thread right above yours covers all this. Short answer? No. Long answer. Not yet.

its suppose to be at bestbuy by the end of the month. don't hunt too much for it in the US, cause you'll probably find it being sold by some scam website. once it's out for real you'll hear about it.

I appreciate it. I guess I will just have to wait... though I am tired of waiting! I don't want to get it from some scam website. Wish I had the money to get the grab months ago to hold me over till this transformer actually drops. Oh well, you know what the say about wishes

[Q] Buy or wait for what happens in Oct.

Sorry if there is any other post like this, I didn't find any in the search function.
I am wondering if it is worth it to plunge into this device or I should wait to see what happens on Oct. Supposedly the rumors are that there is going to be some new transformer or what not.
I'm kinda on the fence whether or not to just take the plunge and buy this tablet or just wait 2 more months... Help?

October is all rumors! There wont be new model this year, Im 95% sure and ordered one myself yesterday.
3G model is coming in next month, if you need that, but it will add the price too much for my needs.

I am in the same situation. With the christmas season right around the corner, manufacturers would be crazy not to introduce new models in the Oct/Nov window. I've heard that the new Kal-El cores from nVidia should be released in August as well.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/02/asus-next-gen-eee-pad-transformer-to-pack-nvidias-quad-core-ka/
That being said, I've been looking into the Transformer and Iconia and will probably just wait out the 2-3 months till the holiday season.

Thank you for your opinions.
I wish these companies gave better clues...
New article to add to rumors...
http://popherald.com/technology/ipa...es-alongside-new-asus-transformer-claims/9531
Its weird that they would release one around the same year they released this one.
I guess I'll go to the store and take another look and see if I can get suckered into buying one

That's probably never going to happen. Its in their best interest to make you think that nothing better will ever come along and you might as well get one now because you're just wasting time while everyone else is out having fun. The problem is that they also need to show investors that they are ahead of their competition with innovation and new products. So they are intentionally vague in order to put you right in the situation you're in...decisions, decisions
The truth is that just as you purchase your TF, something new will come out the week after. If you're wanting to be on the bleeding edge of a new tech, then it's going to cost you. I personally, like to let others figure out how to root my favorite devices then just buy them a beer. If it hadn't been for the $100 coupon floating around last week, I would still be waiting. If you want, you could even wait for the newest "Kal El" tablet to arrive then pick up a tegra2 for cheap!
Good luck, and make sure you can be happy with whatever decision you make.

[Q] Best online website to buy tablet safely?

Hi,
I was looking at buying a Ainol NOVO 7 Mars as it suits all my needs. I am just unsure where to buy it from.
Does anyone know a reputable website to purchase it from? I ran across a few but have no idea if they are legit or not.
Also any opinions on the tablet itself? I know its single core but I think thats okay for me (just looking to read stuff on it mostly, ebooks, lecture notes, etc.)
Cheers for the help guys!

I tried multiple stores and I can recommend spemall. Pandawill is another legit store.
As for the tablet: I had an Ainol Novo 7 elf. Same specs basically but single core. I was quite happy with it so I think it should be fine. Of course spending a bit more and getting a Nexus 7 would be even better
//edit:
Thought it was dual core. Seems like it's similar to the old elf. Anyway, even with single core it's good. Don't expect it to react like lighting all the time. But for that price it's a great tablet. You should spend some time on ainol forums (slatedroid ie) to get the most out of it with roms.

Hi - I bought my Ainol Novo 7 Basic last November from Merimobiles.com it was a good price, quick ship and good customer support. They always respond quickly to questions I have. They are good about keeping firmware and updates up to date on their site for your device and you can subscribe to their notification service for your device, and it will send you an email when there is a new firmware update available.
good luck with your Mars.
