If you want a cool tablet, that can do daily stuff FAST and be lightweight and with a big screen, look no further.

I use it as a Kindle ereader - the screen size is better for me than kindle or nook.

Front camera feels kinda muddy, it's not crystal clear despite a decent resolution.

Dual core works well and has handled everything I've thrown at it.

II by fishin-dude (Aug, 2012)

Archos increased the RAM by 50% (Archos, you need to go to 1GB or more!!!) which greatly improved the responsiveness of the device; add in the dual core CPU and you end up with a very nice product.

It snapy fast, leaves even my galaxy tab far behind which has a 1 Gig of processor.

II by SAM (Oct, 2012)

The archos wields the ARM processor by TI and I must say that it is very fast!

I have had my LePan II Android tablet 24 hours...What a great tool...at a great price.

But it even works much better (or should I say the same as with a full charge) under a 49% charge.

	Matsunichi II		Archos 80 G9
	Rated 76% by 215 users at amazon.com Most streaming video uses the screen real estate well, and finally I can format any mobile video to fit the screen perfectly as I see fit. Rated 80% by by Geoffrey-A.-Erickson (Jun, 2012) So far I have used Gmail, Hotmail, YouTube, Twitter, Skype, Facebook, several games (Pirates Of The Caribbean - Master of the Seas, AirAttack, TV and Movie trivia games, etc), Flixster, Regal, Google World and at least two drawing apps plus numerous other miscellaneous apps which are available for free. Rated 100% by by Robyn-Swaim--robynthetexasvamp (Apr, 2012) I love that it will accept up to a 32GB memory card which expands the memory capabilities tremendously. Rated 100% by by Glamour-For-Less--Leatrice (Jul, 2012)		Rated 68% by 119 users at amazon.com The speed is fast and wifi is great! Rated 80% by by Kent (Nov, 2011) The web browsing is great and amazingly fast as well. Rated 100% by by Justin-Ham (Dec, 2011) On a long bus/plane trip, it has enough juice (fully charged, with wifi and gyroscope off, screen just bright enough to be legible, and volume down low enough to be audible, only running the video program) to play a movie and a half.
