3.0 out of 5 stars Good for the money spent ! January 6, 2012

Archos is providing a good product at low price. My intial experience was little sad on this product, first of look is very plastic and all the joints having sufficient visible gaps. Aesthetic not attractive.

On performance side intially its very slow also its crashes very often. Android market was not working that you can not install the applications.

But all these has made OK after updating the firmware. Now machine is very stable.

Touch screen is very nice and animations, kinetic flow,animations all are very nice.

Camera is hope less, and its wrost than a normal mobile camera.

Kick stand is very useful and machine is little bulky to carry.

GPS software is not available on it other thatn online google maps.

NDrive is not compatibile on it. Sygic Navigation will work on it.

May be i had so much expectations on it and its served only 75% of it.

BUt over all considering the amount I spent for it makes me to :-)

anything more you want to know from it write to me [e-mail], becuase i coudnt see any review on amazon on this product with sufficient details when I bought it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great- Had issue connecting to WPA-2 Router... March 3, 2012

Got it for a remarkably low $230.99 delivered here on Amazon, plus it arrived in 2 days! After I unboxed it and charged it up, I stepped through the Archos Wizard setup which includes wifi settings. It showed "connected" to my WPA-2 router but it would not communicate. Archos tech support- less than a minute on hold- was very helpful in explaining that the 101 G9 sometimes has issues with WPA security. After resetting my security to the less secure WEP standard, it hooked right up.

I downloaded the February 2012 Archos Android 3.2.1 update and it loaded without any problem; After that it was smooth sailing all the way! I find it to be a fast tablet of decent quality that does everything as advertised. Other reviews mentioned poor build quality, but I don't agree. Every fit & finish detail about it appears well executed.

I've only owned it for a day, but based on the overall very positive experience I think it's a keeper. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the WPA issue.

I will post an update if it turns out to have problems; if you don't see any updates from me "no news is good news"...

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice concept, bad quality January 26, 2012

This tablet has several nice features including the add on 3G card. Quality, both in the feel of the product and in the fact that the unit I received had a problem: The edge of the touch screen on the logo side kept thinking someone was touching it and would, by itself press the back button or whatever functionality was at that location.
