Comments about Archos 8GB 101 G9 10.1" Android Tablet:
I bought this product from B&H prior to a long business trip. B&H had the cheapest price from all major online retailers. The tablet arrived very quickly and worked upon start-up. I have no complaints about this product at all. I used it on the flight to South Korea and the battery lasted the entire trip (10 hours). Movie playback was great. The stand on the back was useful when I got tired of holding the tablet. Once in South Korea, I used it to chat (Google), watch movies and TV shows (using a VPN), and even used it to make calls back to the states (using GrooVe IP app). When I got it, it was running Android 3.2 but Archos released the Ice Cream Sandwhich (4.0) OS and it updated and runs wonderfully! I would highly recommend this tablet to anyone! My wife has an Ipad and after using mine, she wants the Archos tablet just because it is more functional (flash, etc). A wonderful, full featured tablet at a incredible price!

The product is promising but not ready for the prime time. It looks like they rush it out. I would wait for six months and give it another try.
