Wow, was just about to post an almost identical post to you, Rooy.

Anyone know if the 101 g9 is any good?

Works out at €212 with the voucher inc. shipping.

This looks like review of product. Looks like the g9 was only just released in last few weeks. I would be a small bit concerned about only 8th hd but I guess it is expandable.

Any thoughts on the Arnova 10 tab? less that €100 with the voucher...

reviews on amazon.co.uk are generally poor . I remember someone on here bought an arnova with the voucher last month for his wife/partner are didnt think much of it.
I am looking for one for my daughter for Christmas for internet , watching movies and games ,and im not sure if it will even do for that. I think i saw some negative comments regarding trying to play angry birds.
Personally i would/will pay the extra money for g9 ,even if it is double the price.

Mr.Crinklewood

G9 v Hannspad anyone?

Does that mean the plug-in costs money? I seem to remember an Archos PMP a few years back where all the extras cost extra.

For €211 it seems cool, but would you be better off footing another €100 and getting a Xoom? Or are they both locked down equally?

Sorry if its a stupid question but how do you know which pads are included on the FNAC voucher? Is it a case of applying the voucher and seeing if it works or have they an official list on site somewhere?

15 euro according to this

Have a spare voucher if anyone has anything to swap for it?

Archos g9 is sold out/not available now on the 100euro voucher list.

That list is just a scam, vouchers fairly worthless at moment. Be nice if the 8 inch g9 comes on for 112 delivered.

Yes, bit of a scam alright. I had ordered the 8" Arnova, order sitting for nearly a month so I cancelled it.

I ordered the Archos 101 g9 yesterday, the order now says ready to ship (I was able to apply the voucher against it no probs at that stage)

The 11" g9 is in stock with FNAC now again but has been removed from the voucher list.

I wonder can the voucher still be redeemed againts it now? If not, why not? Are FNAC just trying to get rid of their old tablet stock with this voucher?

Psygnosis

So can the voucher be used in anything descent

If the offer is still available, i would kill for the code. I was trying to get a touchpad, but think i will go for a Xoom instead.

Sorry moonboy I forgot to turn on notificaton alerts.

Do you still want the code?

Loopymum,

Still not sure loopymum. I am thinking about the Xoom at the minute

Mr.Crinklewood

Three additional tabs have been added to the discount. Unsure of which ones they are, but at first glance they ate high end and pricy.

Which ones do we know??

The 8.9" Archos ssd 32gb (70 euro more expensive than the 3rd party link underneath it) and I think the 3g motorola xoom for 499.

Don't think that Archos is a g9.

They really are not making much of an effort.

AFAIK you still cannot buy an Archos g9 anywhere. Not yet on sale.

@onform Did you get your Archos 101 G9 yet? I managed to order one on Saturday but the order is still "Commande en préparation". Wondering at this stage if I'm going to get it at all.

I did get mine,using it at the moment.I'm very happy with it,good value at €212.

I think I was lucky that I got my order in early,Archos seem to have supplied retailers with a small amount of stock so far,see the PC world thread re: this.

http://touch.boards.ie/thread/2056367959?page=2

I had ordered an arnova tab. originally was sitting there for ages,tried emailing them but basically told you can wait or cancel the order,not much help.

You should be OK I'd say, it's a brand new tablet so they will be getting new stock in soon I'd say.

Order just changed to shipped so all good now, glad to hear you're happy with yours I'm looking forward to getting hold of mine now.

Happy days, you'll be able to track it via dhl's website when you get a tracking number (I think if you click where it says 'Shipped' you'll get it there).

A good website to keep an eye on is http://www.arctablet.com/blog/category/generation-9/
If you have problems downloading apps from the market(I did) they have a fix on there for this issue which worked for me.

Also, there have been 2 firmware updates for the G9 tablets since they were released (Nothing major, just bug fixes and tweaks).
