Archos 9 reviewed: too big, too slow, too 'Starter'

Dec 25th 2009 12:53AM on Engadget

@bjsguess - win7 isn't terrible in and off itself.. but it is a terrible idea for a tablet OS. It has been shown time and time again that desktop OS's just don't work on tablets.. You need a lightweight instant-on OS with multitouch support, designed to work on smaller screens.. Full desktop OS like win7 is a recipe for a disaster on tablets.

Archos 9 reviewed: too big, too slow, too 'Starter'

Archos just showed everyone how to NOT do a tablet. I mean just one look at this thing screams "yikes".. the hardware is completely devoid of any design aesthetics, software is terrible, and the end result has this half-baked poorly cobbled together feel to it.

The same can be said about most products from this company.. who still buys Archos crap?

There is still a market for these clunky overpriced identity-challenged devices?

New 'flow router' may save the Internet from collapsing under the weight of all your v-blog posts

Uhm, yes.. the "Internet Inventor" is selling snake oil and he knows it. That's the real reason Caspian Networks failed and this new Anagran company is basically a non-entity in the routing market space.

It's not slot-loading, it's a tray loading drive. And you got ripped off - I got a similar panasonic BD/DVD reader on eBay for $65 shipped.

Palm Pre retail box and materials leak out

"_Inspired by_ and designed in California" doesn't even make sense.. Was Pre _inspired by_ California? What does that mean?

Best Buy sued for violating its Price Match policy on purpose

"Less cooler" ?? Take an English class lately? My six year old speaks like this.

Elgato ships 1080p-friendly Turbo.264 HD video conversion dongle

Yes boomsilent, it is real. You do need Parallels/XP to run Slysoft AnyDVD blu-ray ripper.. and let Handbrake do the rest.

Big Boy, let me clue you in. Macs work with 3rd party BD readers just fine, internal and external. I got about 25 Blu-ray movies in my Apple TV library, all ripped and encoded on my Mac.

Now go crawl back in your hole and don't post stuff of which you know nothing about.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
