So I got the tablet today and i love the Android interface and apps and stuff; wasting time on this thing is going to be great
However, just half an hour ago I decided to put some music on the player to see how it sounds and suprisingly it's not that bad.
 
I haven't done any ABing with my s:flo2 but from what I can hear, it's not a half bad player. This might actually replace my s:flo2 when I'm in the library or something.
 
All I need now is a longer LoD and I'll be good to go
 
UPDATE: Has some slight hiss to it on silent passages :/
I'm loving the search function at the top if I'm feeling a certain song. 8gb internal and a micro sd card slot. I'm really thinking of getting a larger card tomorrow at the mall.

Have you got a portable battery powered dac/amp like the Pico you can try with it to see if it works?

Congrats on your purchase!!
Can you give us a little detail about it?  How's the EQ settings?  How's the response time on the touch screen.  I think that's always been kind of a knock on the Archos products.  How's the picture look?  Nice?

Hmmm I have the old archos 7 media tablet and have been looking at this as an upgrade. Do you have any comparision to that?

 

[Young Spade]

Yea sure definitely? What else do you want to know?
 
EQ? 7 band
 
Response time of touch screen? Pretty much instant; it's resistive (needs pressure) so it's not as good as other touch screens if that bothers you... it doesn't really bother me now but it was a little tough learning how to type on it. I still don't have the hang of it but I'm sure after a week or so I'll be able to type adequately on it. You have to want to become good at it though; if you don't like it and don't want to spend the time to get good you probably won't like it if you want to type a lot. For everything else it's great
 
Pictures are great. I'm only using 480p and the like videos right now; I haven't tried any HD stuff yet but I'll do that sometime this or next week

Well I had the Archos 5 which was basically the same thing minus a couple of inches of screen. IMO it's a great upgrade all around. The SQ is better, the screen is huge and the device is very, very thin; a little shorter than 2 pencils stacked up on each other. Very small. Very pretty. I'll post pictures tomorrow when it's light outside

From the overall mediocre reviews it's been getting, it doesn't sound like it would be much (if any) of an upgrade from the Archos 7 IMT:

It also has a weaker processor than the 5 IT, and perhaps the 5/7 IMT (both @600MHz, but I think the IMT's is the better of the 2).  I had been considering one to replace my 5 IMT, but I think I'll pass now.
 
But opinions vary, I suppose.
