At 15 feet it took the browser 19 seconds to load, 6 seconds to load m.CNN.com, 3 seconds to load m., and 4 seconds to load m.NPR.org. But at 15 feet from the router we saw 2 out of 3 bars most of the time. The 802.11b/g wireless radio wasn't very strong at about 50 feet from our router, and it dropped the connection every now and then at this distance. Users can also listen to AAC, APE, FLAC, MP3, OGG, WAV3, and WMA (non protected), along with viewing BMP, GIF, and JPEG images. Thankfully, Archos preloads several codecs not included with Android by default, so users can play a wider range of video formats out of the box: AVI, FLV, H.264, MKV, MOV, and MP4. And there are no options for streaming video or television. The lack of Archos Media Club wasn't a shock-the company discontinued the service a few months ago-but this leaves users to fend for themselves when searching for new content. Games are available via AppsLib, though none appear to be Flash-based. Also, PlayinTV is also omitted on the Archos 7. Since there's no standalone app, say goodbye to YouTube. Sadly, the Home Tablet's browser does not support Flash, so that means no Hulu (of course, the iPad suffers from this same issue).

There are ways to install these apps without AppsLib, but most consumers won't want to jump through these hoops.

The ten most popular free apps in the Android Market-such as Facebook, Pandora, and the Weather Channel-aren't in AppsLib, and neither are any of our top 20 favorites. While it's grown to more than 1,500 apps-up from 800 when we reviewed the Archos 5-it's still missing most of the programs consumers use. However, Archos is trying to make up for this with its AppsLib market. Since the Archos 7 Home Tablet isn't a phone, it can't access Google's Android Market and its 50,000-plus library of apps. However, the microSD slot will read cards up to 32GB. The Home Tablet is only offered with 8GB of flash memory. As mentioned previously, video playback suffered when there were too many apps running, and apps took longer to load than we're used to. While typing on-screen we couldn't go as fast as we normally would because the keyboard was about half a second behind us (if not a little more). When the slate freezes-which it did once while we tested it-the only option is to restart.Īside from the touchscreen issues, the Archos 7 Home Tablet was a bit faster than the 7-inch Camangi WebStation. Most apps keep these buttons ever-present, but since the screen isn't always responsive, neither are these buttons. One major difference is that the Home, Back, and Menu buttons are only found on-screen. Users familiar with Android phones will have no trouble finding their way around the Home Tablet.

There are no maps apps nor multitouch support. The standard non-phone Android apps are all here-browser, e-mail, gallery, video player, and more-and Archos also preloads the Aldiko eBook reader, Daily Paper, Deezer streaming audio player, and eBuddy IM service. The Android 1.5 interface is almost completely unchanged from what we saw on the Archos 5, though the company no longer includes the Media Club for finding and viewing new content. If the Home Tablet came with a stylus, this wouldn't be as frustrating. We like touchscreens that react to both finger pads and fingernails, but using the tip of our finger wasn't very effective on the Home Tablet we ended up using our fingernails for almost everything. It didn't register taps about 25 percent of the time, and scrolling wasn't always smooth sometimes the screen stopped responding to our finger partway through a motion. The resistive touchscreen wasn't as responsive as we'd like. The distinctive bass line in Superchick's "One Girl Revolution" wasn't booming, but it was still present and fairly strong. While listening to Sarah Solovay's "Gone" we noted that audio was on the tinny side, but adjusting the equalizer settings improved the quality a little. We noticed some distortion when we upped the volume to 100 percent.

At 75 percent, we could hear audio clearly even with a loud air conditioner going at full blast in the room. The small speakers on the Archos 7 delivered a surprising amount of volume. Once we'd opened four or five others, the motion wasn't so smooth.

A 720p video of "Big Buck Bunny" played smoothly on the tablet when there were no other apps running in the background. Vertical angles were a little narrow, but we were able to sit with the tablet in our lap or set it on a table and still see the screen without any issues.
