I know the word ibood is a contoversial one these days but just putting aside the delivery/communication problems at the moment, what do people think of this? Seems fairly priced if a little slow.

Only things I can see is thats it got a fairly slow processor and no N wireless, which I hate, as the range isn't that good. But everything else seems decent.

Browse YouTube for unboxing\review videos before purchase..

The build quality is fine, it is the processor and laggy UI that lets things down.

It is a tablet with a love/hate audience. Mixed bag of reviews.

Having said that, if I had a choice of an Archos 7o or this, I'd buy this everytime.

Not released yet - There looks to be one custom rom which makes some slight improvments.

less ram on the archos and no place for a simcard
not sure if the archos has any gps
