What about the Archos 80 G9 is it a good tablet?? comes with a 3G Stick [bought seperate] Are these brands any good!!”
from having an archos great features does everything, however after going through 4 of g9 80s 2 had screen ripple when holding the back, problem with batch 1s, though argos have the newer batches, number 3 just stopped working, and number 4 pulled the usb out and it brought all the housing out and wouldnt charge again. Shame did everything i wanted as well, the build quality is shocking in my opinion. maybe i was just unlucky.
also be aware they have just released similar models with higher processor speeds.
i have got myself a blackberry playbook instead what a difference a few cons comparing to the archos, no sd card slot, smaller screen, fewer apps currently, no 3g if you want that feature. apart from that its light years apart and at 169 pcw its a steal
