    Hi all, bought my dad a archos 10.1 tablet. All is grand and he loves it but... few problems. One is that youtube wont work. No video and 2 is that skype works but I cant see his video. He says that he downloaded adobe( I think) flash from the market. Any one with a archos and do you have youtube and skype video working. If anyone has any idead i'd appreciate it. Thanks

    If it is a G9 I would suggest making sure that you have the latest firmware upgrade as the out of the box firmware has a few minor problems

    I have an Archos 605 WiFi and i want to upgrade to this one. With the 605 WiFi if i want to record TV i need to buy a stand for €99. (this was not always the case)

    Can you tell me

    1. If i buy this do i need to buy anything more items?

    2. Could i just buy this and watch movies and surf the internet and not spend any more money then i have on the device its self?

    3.the 605 WiFi has a flimsy virtual on screen keyboard, how good is this one on the device above?

    4. Does it come in a cover case?

    This is the one i want to get: http://www.peats.com/cgi-bin/catalog_v2.cgi?type=product&id=27328

    Have you installed the YouTube app from the market? Playing directly from the browser is often very laggy, impossible even. Some browsers know to use the youtube app and switch to it if you try to play embedded video files.

    The older 101 runs Froyo AFAIK so unless he's got a ROM to update it to Honeycomb skype will not have video support.

    Thanks pickarooney. Although he promised that he updated the firmware he hadn't. Got a buddy at home to do it. He has Skype and YouTube working. He's spoke to me on skype and the picture is oka. It's no iPad but he loves it. It doesn't come with android market but its easy to do. Sorry tony cant answer your questions.
