Extremely cheap tablet - Archos Arnova 8, dropped from £139 to £57.27 Amazon

13-07-2013 11:54am#1Not the most powerful tablet on the market, but still pretty useful for the price.
I'm just getting this for someone who needs to read her college PDFs, the odd Audio and eBook, facebook, youtube and the usual net use.
A quick check on CamelCamel shows it was up in the £139/€160 a few days ago, down to £57.27/€66.12 with free delivery to UK or your ParcelMotel (UK VAT) -or- free delivery to Ireland at £58.71/€67.84 (Irish VAT).

Too late for me, it's already dispatched.
Not too worried though, I've used resistive tabs and phones in the past, never had major issues. They're not as responsive as capacitive screens, but good enough for reading a few PDFs and the odd email
As for the Google App store, that can be fixed with a new ROM, although the only app being used is Aldiko (available as an APK for self-loading).0 -

One of the reviewers says it's actually capacitive anyway. For all its short comings, the reviews aren't that horrific and it is cheap enough. Battery is supposedly decent which lets a lot of the really cheap Chinese tablets down. I don't think you will be that disappointed. For that money.0 -

I've asked Amazon for more info and they're going to do a physical check for me in their warehouse. Soon as I know more I'll update the thread
Incidentally, my tablet dispatched with a new delivery company called iParcel - first time I've ever had this on Amazon - anyone ever heard of or had packages from them? Are they any good

I've had a package from Iparcel. It took about a week to arrive, it's delivered by Fastway when it gets to Ireland
One thing though, their online tracking is rubbish. It'll tell you that your package is in America, or Australia or the UK so that's a bit nerve racking0 -
