Archos Internet Tablet 70 is out!

Anyone else REALLY want one of these for christmas? The Toshiba Folio 100 looks like a disaster from what I have read, but this thing really looks like it might have got it right.
Any opinions/reviews/comments?

There's a few reviews out and about on the net, and over at archosfans forums they've got some posts on getting full Market access enabled. I just ordered mine today

Let me know how you find it once it arrives! I'm not one of these people that can afford to throw money at gadgets, so I need to make sure I buy the right device and either the archos 70 or the 101 look great to me. The Toshiba folio 100 looks to be a flop from what I have read, and many others are very cheap devices with resistive screens and other issues. Hoping this one hits the mark!

I've had the A70 for a couple of weeks now and I think it's great for the price. It's not perfect, but I got it for about $260 shipped. I'm primarily going to be using it for entertainment (and for entertaining my kid). It plays movies and music over my home network right out of the box. It was simple to get android market running on it. The soft buttons can be a little annoying, but not a dealbreaker. Biggest complaint is that it doesn't have froyo yet, but from what I hear that should be out soon.

[Q] gamepad and case for htc desire?

is there a bluetooch gamepad and case for htc desire? kind of transform it into a portable console? the htc desire on top and it's gamepad at the bottom?

I'm actually looking for the same thing! If anyone knows, please inform us!

It'd be nice, but as far as I know, there's nothing like that (being sold, anyway). I've been looking for one myself since not long after I got mine, which was a while back now.
There's a couple controllers I think being sold in marketplace, modded wii classic controllers. The wii controller seems best suited for it, I think it'd be great if someone made a custom case to house these 2 together

for me, wiimote looks too big for it? want a portable gamepad... msi bgp100 looks nice and quite portable but does not seem to fit the htc desire

it should just fit it, but that one's made for using portrait, not very good for almost every game really. if they made one for landscape mode games, it'd be perfect

iControlPad? http://icontrolpad.com/
Works over bluetooth, but currently only fits small iPhone sized phones, but you might JUST get away with a desire. Their forum has some posts on what fits and one member posted a load of images of phones fitting/not fitting in the pad.
Says in stock and shipping too!
EDIT Found the posts with the pictures showing what fits. Not a massive selection, but something you have might be comparable.

the icontrolpad looks nice! this the kind of case i am looking for!!! you think the desire will fit in it?
edit: don't think it will fit... Droid Incredible and Sanyo Zio are slightly too large and they are 117.5 and 116mm wide respectively and they are slightly too large for the icontrolpad while desire is 119mm.. do won't fit

Well its only 4mm longer than an iPhone. They will be making new clamps for larger phones so it's only a matter of time.
I've ordered one anyway. I don't have a Desire though, Nexus One and SGS (which has no hope of fitting in clamp set #1). Should be able to test fit one though, a fellow at work has one.

yup even if it's too tight, you can try the tip given there

to lossen the screw... hope the nexus one fits in! it has similar dimensions as the desire

[Q] Will anyone share with me some unique iPhone 4s cover cases?

Hey, i bought my iPhone 4s lately and really satisfy on it. Buy my experience tells me i should also buy one cover case for it. There are many in the markets but i want to find something cute and designed uniquely. So, can anyone share with me some? Thanks！

Might want to try the iPhone section.

what to do for a new tablet??

Hi guys, long story short, I'm in vacation with my grandma and she came to know the pleasure of using a tab, for reading books newspaper and play candy crush and cut the rope.
She uses both my galaxy tab 2 7" p3100 with CM 10.1.2 and my mother's ipad 3. Now she want to buy one for herself, and asked me what to do.
Now i have few things run trough my head:
Option n.1: buy her a cheap android tab, maybe from chinese manufacturer, she does not need super specs so who cares. But she is gonna use it for read books and newspaper so what to buy with a good screen? I'm not an expert in that range of things, what do you guys suggest?
Option n.2: make her help me buy a new one for me and give her my 6 month old galaxy tab, but so what can i buy? I dream of an xperia tablet z but i need a smaller then 10" screen and anyway my budget is limited to around 300€ also with my granda help. oh and i need it it with 3G built in support.
I wait for your suggestion!
Cheers

I would recommend the new nexus 7 just because the screen resolution makes text super clear. And it has an awesome price. I picked one up about a week ago, and I've only been using it for browsing, reading, and news, it's exceptional. I prefer the 7" personally because it can be more like a book and the portability and ability to type easily is nice. Find out if she prefers the ipad or galaxy tab screen size first. If the 7" seems to be too small you might want to consider 8-10".

She said is much or more the same for the screen. O already thought of the new nexus 7 but the with wifi-3G option is expensive to buy it for her. Moreover I'm in Italy and g-play does not exist here so it will surely be more then 349$. The nexus 4 here costs 500€ that are about 450$. ( if it is just for her I would prefer to spend a little bit less. If it is for me yeah it would be a great option. But pet's see when it is shipped to Italy.
Thanks for your precious opinion!
Edit: crazy idea make her fund a bit for the new plan with xperia z ultra in bundle XD
@augustine: i know that much but a 300€ device for a woman that turns 80 in september is bit too much. Maybe someone knows of a china fair enough tab

what do you believe of this tab.. price would be around $225 to $267 nd no it is NOT CHINESE... here is the link- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2392059

Do NOT skimp on a tablet for an elderly person. If things do not work right and/or are laggy, she WILL not use it. She expects a premium feel now. If you get her a crappy a$$ Chinese tablet (or any tablet less than 200 USD), she will hate it. Old people don't have patience for that kind of stuff.

If the tablet appear problem, the old people don't know how to fix it, buy a high quality tablet.

[Q] nexus wireless charger

Hello,
i already own the Nexus Charging Orb and i really like it, and i would like to get the newer nexus wireless charger as well (the flat one).
http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Wireless-Charger-Smartphones-Tablets/dp/B00GN1YKBU
The problem is, i have no idea where to get one. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Is Google creating a new one or why the shortage?
If anyone has a link to buy a new one (preferably in Europe), please let me know.

There are like a dozen other similar topics with many links.
Why don't you try search a bit first?
