Product Description
This is no 7 rated as the cheap pc tablet . The ARCHOS 28 internet tablet is the first WiFi connected Android device to offer a compact form factor with a 2.8 inch touch-screen, a wide range of features such as video, Internet browsing and tons of applications downloadable from AppsLib, as well as a music application every player of this size deserves.
A Connected Android Pocket Tablet
Connected Android
Android is the application framework developed by Google for connected mobile devices, coming stock with a full pack of connected apps, such as a web browser and email application. The five home screens of the Android user interface allow for advanced personalization: icons can be placed, moved or erased with just a flick of a finger.


ARCHOS products also feature an accelerometer and a graphical accelerator (3D OpenGL ES 2.0) to exploit the Android 3D capabilities such as live wallpapers, transition effects and 3D games.
In addition, since the ARCHOS 28 is Wi-Fi enabled, it'll automatically download the latest firmware and OS updates.


Brilliant 2.8-Inch Touchscreen
The ARCHOS 28 boasts a 2.8-inch, QVGA (320 x 240 pixel) resolution touch screen that makes navigation and application use a breeze.


Fantastic Multimedia Player
ARCHOS 28 features include a new music application, adding 3D cover animation support and the ability to add a mini music widget to the home screen (in order to control your music at any time). Also, because it is an ARCHOS music player, the ARCHOS 28 IT is able to play all the music formats you'll need to keep your digital music experience as large as it can be.


Who doesn't have a few minutes to watch a little video? The ARCHOS 28 IT answers this need with its video player application that supports all the popular video formats. Or, if you're more into personal photos, why not open the Gallery application and show your latest vacation to your friends or even share them via a wireless network.


Basically, you won't find too may media players with a list like this:


Video Support: MPEG-4, H.264, WMV/VC1, Motion JPEG, MPEG 2 codecs with AVI, MP4, MOV, 3GP, MPG, PS, TS, VOB, MKV, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, and WMV extensions
Audio Support: MP3 (CBR & VBR), WMA, WMA-Pro 5.1, WAV (PCM/ADPCM), AAC, AAC+ 5.13, OGG Vorbis, FLAC, and AC3 5.1
Image Support: JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF
Applications to Make Your Player What You Want It to Be
Via AppsLib store, the Android app market place for advanced devices, you can download fun 3D games and cool applications such as online music players (Deezer, Mewbox & Napster) or chat to stay in touch with your friends (Ebuddy). As long as you have a Wi-Fi connection, you can choose to fill your device with all the apps that suit your lifestyle.


The Power of a Pocket Computer
As the ARCHOS 28 IT has a high speed processor, convenient pre-installed applications and Wi-Fi connectivity, you no longer need to turn on your PC or borrow the family's laptop. Surf the Web, check what's happening on your social network page, write and receive emails and even open office attachment files; all this from a small held-hand device.


Reviews


PI bought this cheap pc tablet from Tiger Direct through Amazon. It came quickly and worked fine right out of the box. Comes with cable to charge/program from your computer and small earphones without a headband.


It comes with Android 2.1, but an upgrade to Android 2.2 is available. I had a little trouble downloading the upgrade, seems like the Archos servers are very busy in the evening. I tried again in the morning, early, and it worked first try.


Very nice little MP3 player, very light, fits easily in my pocket. Music sounds good. Easy to load music from the PC, just copy it over like it was a flash drive. Earphones are pretty lame, a $5 pair of Panasonic phones with a headband work fine though.


As a portable computer it is really a little too small. Quarter VGA screen. Touchscreen works but not as well as other devices. Screen is too small so you need something smaller than your finger to type with. A ballpoint pen cap seems to work well in the on-screen keyboard.


App Store is not the Google store but an Archos store. Wants you to sign up with PayPal for paid apps, but when I tried to do that the link was busted. Free apps are fun. I saw postings that said how to install the Google app store but have not tried it.


WiFi range is a tad short. Works throughout the upstairs of my house (access point is upstairs on one end of the house) but does not work well downstairs in the family room. Probably too much metal heating duct, etc, in the way but that never bothered laptop computers.


Overall, a nice little toy for listening to music and playing with Android.
