Archos Child Pad

- WiFi
- Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Announced May, 2012
Rated 50% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)It costs less than a hundred pounds and is much more fun to use than a resistive touchscreen tablet (beware, there's a resistive version of the ChildPad about too), but the value equation here no longer makes enough sense.

Archos Child Pad | Rated 20% by by Mike-in-CA (Jul, 2012)The screen wasn't particularly bright or crisp.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 50% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)That said, playing even a 720p video on an 800 x 480 pixel screen is a little pointless.

Archos Child Pad | Rated 100% by by Kendell (Oct, 2012)My daughter loved it, and I feel she will get lots of use, compares to an ipad, no joke, she has total access to learning games, the internet, netflix, and the whole world wide web, plus she can download 1000s of different apps.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 60% by by Batmudry (Dec, 2012)All the kids were able to maneuver through the games.
Type
Archos Child Pad | Rated 100% by by Rosalie (Jul, 2012)You can set it up so that the child stays within the "walled garden" of the Android4Kidz app, or you can set it to allow free access into and out of it as the child chooses.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 50% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)Android is a whole different game of "prod the screen.

Archos Child Pad | Rated 50% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)You can drag files over to it without any additional software, making transferring files much simpler than with an iPad.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 50% by by TrustedReviews (Aug, 2012)The problem is that the learning curve of the OS is actually tricker than the older versions, and no big UI changes have been made here to help out.
Touch
Archos Child Pad | Rated 20% by by Mike-in-CA (Jul, 2012)The resistive touchscreen was not accurate or responsive.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 60% by by Doogiedoo (Jun, 2012)The other thing was I didn't realize this had a resistive touch screen when I ordered it, that much is my fault, I should have read more.
Archos Child Pad | Rated 60% by by Doogiedoo (Jun, 2012)I have been spoiled by capacitive touch screens for years, and it is MADDENING to use a resistive touch screen.
