squashpup "squashpup" (WV) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sylvania SYNET7LP 7-Inch Mini Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

I like this tablet, and I keep it on my night stand for evening web surfing before I go to bed. Works great for casual use like that. I find that using the stylus is not necessary and do everything with the tips of my fingernails/thumbnails. No finger touches work, however, but I quickly got used to the method I now use.

But, when I go out, I still take my netbook. This device lets me keep the netbook downstairs where I use it most and still browse when I'm in bed without lugging anything around.

There's a good assortment of apps on it, plus a software installer (package manager, for those familiar with Linux) that comes with pre-installed. Limited apps of questionable quality, for the most part. Hint: Download Opera, and use the App Store built into that. Most of the apps are free, there's a much better selection, and heck, Opera is the browser to use anyway.

No Flash, as another user mentioned, but you can watch online videos with the... Read more

Decent, but no iPad, January 7, 2011

M. Koo (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sylvania SYNET7LP 7-Inch Mini Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

I purchased the Sylvania mini tablet in December 2010, but it has a better processor than the Augen tablet.

Android 2.1 was optimized for smartphones with smaller screens, and is not optimized for tablet devices. The Sylvania mini tablet can do the following:

1) Has an accelerometer, but you can also use a setting to manual shift the screen orientation.
2) Can only use 16GB micro SD cards or smaller. The box even states 16GB micro SD cards, and not 32GB micro SD cards.
3) Use the stylus and not your finger, which is due to the problems of Android 2.1 on a tablet device.
4) Comes with a pre-installed music app and a picture/video app.
5) If you enable the third party install option, the following apps work without any problem: Angry Birds, Kindle, ASTRO File Manager, and Flash 10.1. I have problems with the ComiXology app.
6) Device has WiFi for web browsing, e-mail, and other apps that require it.
7) Two web... Read more

This review is from: Sylvania SYNET7LP 7-Inch Mini Tablet (Black) (Personal Computers)

The tablet was majorly disappointing. Features listed for the tablet are non existent. The camera is not there the ambient light sensor isn't there. The device is overwhelmingly slow on start up. If you lose WiFi signal the device doesn't auto reconnect. There is no access to the Android Market. I wound up giving it to my sister who only uses it to read PDFs. Tech support is horrible they never answer any calls and it takes them days if not weeks to get a response via email which is the way they recommend contact.

Customer Video Review Length:: 3:25 Mins

This is a video demo and testing of the Archos 43 - 16 GB Internet Tablet. Overall, I am very happy with its improvements over the Archos 5 IT. I have also changed the rating to a 5 stars after updating the OS to Android 2.2 with the Adobe Flash 10 player installed. This gadget rocks !

12/21/10 update

- I have been using this gadget on a daily basis since my original post for checking emails and surfing the web for news in the morning while still lying lazy on my bed. So far so good and it has replaced my iPhone for such use as it is lighter and has a wider display for full web-site surfing. The only issue I have is the short battery life which I have to circumvent by disabling the Wifi when not in use.

Overall feel and handling

The unit is extremely light and fits easily in a shirt pocket. It is much more portable than the Archos 5 IT and even the i-Phone. The single-touch resistive screen works quite nice... Read more

There's a little pain before the reward, but it's worth it!

My Archos 43 was a Christmas gift that my parents chose from my Amazon Wish List. Of course with the supply problems, I didn't actually get it until January 22nd. (It was ordered in November.)

I'll be using it to replace my 8 year old and failing Palm Tungsten C PDA.

You won't need my decades of engineering and programming background to make your Archos work, but you will have a glitch or two during the updating and software installation process. Just hang in there!

Out of the very well packaged box came my Archos, a USB cable, ear buds and the paperwork. My first impression of the unit was the solid construction. It doesn't feel cheap and flimsy like so many products do now days. Turning the unit on, I found the battery at 60% charge. Following the manufacturers instructions, I let the unit charge for several hours to top off the battery.

Once charged, the... Read more

This review is from: Archos 43 4.3-Inch 16 GB Internet Tablet with Android (Personal Computers)

I freaking love this device but to make it really shine there are a few things you should do...

At first I was disappointed by the resistive touch screen. It was always giving me incorrect key passes and I couldn't figure out why. I had been using the plastic cover it came with for about two weeks and I finally took it off. I was a bit worried that I would scratch the screen but so far I have had no problems and as an added bonus when I took the screen protector off the screen became much more responsive and accurate with key passes. So... (TAKE THE SCREEN PROTECTOR OFF) If you have never used a capacitive touch screen before it will take some time to get used to it especially people with larger fingers (no offense) also as a note I suggest you recalibrate the screen after you take the protective cover off.

Suggestions to improve your android experience:
