More hands-on impressions by women working for Big Blogs

Posted by Charbax on September 16th, 2009

Popular Science editor Corinne Iozzio thinks it makes her iPod touch feel a little uneasy: http://www.popsci.com/gear-amp-gadgets/article/2009-09/hands-archos-5-android-based-internet-tablet

Joanna Stern tries it for Gizmodo: http://gizmodo.com/5358355/archos-5-internet-tablet-hands-on-android-power-but-wheres-the-flash (though she is totally wrong on criticizing it for Flash support and Mobile Browser defaulting)

Dana Wollman of Laptop Magazine checks it out: http://blog.laptopmag.com/when-android-meets-mids-hands-on-with-the-archos-5 (she’s also totally wrong about Youtube flash support)

It can fly!

    Yes, it’s seems a great device, but were in 2009, age of web 2.0 and FLASH. On my phone, i use skyfire, and can go to the real youtube, not the iPhone one (ok, with a small qvga screen, youtube browsing is easy as hell ;) . But this device has a big wgva screen, perfect for those hd youtube videos and other streaming site (to many to count, every news, media, game site use flash, it’s almost everywhere on the net, like a plague). So why on earth there is no flash ? Ok, perhaps one day, in october or december, adobe make flash support, or not. and Google put this in chrome, or not. and archos make an update to it’s device or not ;)
