Share your photos with family and friends.

With an ultra-portable design, it's not just a home tablet.

Multimedia Master

With its wide, high-resolution screen (800 x 480), the ARCHOS 7 home tablet is the perfect device for enjoying and sharing your multimedia content. 8 gigabytes of on-board flash memory gives you room for up to 7 full-length movies, 80,000 photos, or 4,000 songs, and the micro SDHC slot lets you swap in memory cards with even more content. The Lithium Polymer battery provides up to 7 hours of video or 42 hours of audio on a single charge.

Videos, Photos and Music
Whether you want to watch videos, share photos, or listen to your favorite music, the device supports an impressive number of file formats.

You have the ability to watch videos in the most popular formats, even in HD (720p). H.264, MPEG-4, and Realvideo codecs are supported, with AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, and FLV file formats. You can also share your favorite videos with your friends on your TV screen using the composite video output (cable sold separately).

Upload your pictures directly to the device through the USB connection or the micro SDHC slot. You can view and share all of your pictures on the brilliant 7-inch screen or play them to your television, as with movies. Combine your favorite photos with your favorite songs and play a slideshow for your friends and family. JPEG, BMP, and GIF images supported.

The ARCHOS 7 home tablet also allows you to store your favorite songs and create your playlists, with up to 40 hours of music. And unlike a lot of the players out there, it lets you enjoy all kinds of different formats, with support for MP3, WMA (non-protected), WAV, APE, OGG, FLAC, and AAC files.

Android Applications
Enjoy a selection of pre-installed applications ready for use straight out of the box. Also, since the ARCHOS 7 is an Android-based system, you can customize your home tablet by downloading your favorite applications. Choose from thousands available in the Android Market. You can also access a large variety of free and purchasable applications directly from the AppsLib store. These apps are sorted by genre, ratings and date to help you find the one you want.

Constant Companion

The ARCHOS 7 Home Tablet is the epitome of the everyday device, with features to suit your whole family's daily needs.

Fast & Easy Access to the Latest News
Use the web browser or the many applications available on the AppsLib store to keep you informed of the latest news. Access your favorite newspapers, sports or financial information directly from the home tablet.

Save Time by Consulting Instant Information Services
The ARCHOS 7 Home Tablet offers easy access to information services, such as weather and local business directories. You can also configure different services to appear as live widgets on the home screen, for an always-on view of the information that matters most.

Who Needs a PC?
Use the USB host connection to connect a mouse, keyboard, or external mass storage device so you can surf the web or access your office documents easily and quickly. With the home tablet you won't even need to fire up the home PC.

And with its slim form factor--just 12 mm thick and weighing in at 350 g (0.8 Ibs)--the ARCHOS 7 home tablet is extremely portable.

Stay Connected

The ARCHOS 7 Home Tablet keeps you up to date on all your web destinations, emails, and social networking sites.

Fast & Convenient Web Surfing
With an 800 pixel wide resolution and a seven-inch screen, you can comfortably surf the web. No need to zoom in and out, since the web pages are fully displayed on the ARCHOS screen. In addition, the Wifi connection (802.11 b/g) gives you the ability to enjoy the Internet in every room of your home (or head down to the coffee shop).

Social Networking & Chat Applications
Thanks to the social networking and chat applications, this new tablet lets you stay in touch with your family and friends all day long. With its comfortable virtual keyboard, it's a breeze to write messages on the ARCHOS 7 home tablet.

Email Application
Once connected to a Wifi network, the ARCHOS 7 home tablet lets you manage your emails whenever you want. You can configure a variety of email accounts, giving each member of the family quick and easy access to their own messages.

The media could not be loaded.
 Pros:

+Price
+Screen is very nice, responsive enough to navigate, and movies look really good on it.
+thin design, with convenient kickstand and brushed aluminum and glossy black finish
+The Archos 7 V2 (what you'll likely receive) DOES HAVE ACCELEROMETER
+The Archos 7 V2 DOES COME WITH ANDROID 2.1 Eclair
+900mhz processor
+Lots of apps to choose from, even more with ROOTED FIRMWARE AND ANDROID MARKET ACCESS
+Web browsing is surprisingly nice
+Youtube app (not included) works very well
+USB Host mode, so you can use external keyboards/mice and storage devices (grab one of those roll-up keyboards for long emails/chat.
+SD slot

Cons:

-Battery life is nowhere near what Archos claims, medium or high brightness settings kill battery fast. Screen brightness on low is perfectly fine for indoors, but nearly invisible under sunlight.
-Requires a bit of user knowledge to get the most out of it - i.e. having to install rooted firmware to have access to the android market to get most apps.
-Occasional lock-ups will require you to push pin-hole reset button
-Wifi signal sometimes seems weaker than it should be for the distance.
-FLACs dont play (at least not for me) with included music player, but other music player apps will play them (like Mixzing)
Overall:

I think the Archos 7 is a great option for people who want a very nice personal media player with some internet functions. It's obviously not your top-of-the-line, decked out tablet with capacitive screen and camera and all that, but it does what it says it does, and, for the most part, does it well.

A lot of the negative reviews that you'll read are either from people who own a V1 (they'll be the ones that complain about lack of accelerometer and slow performance with certain things) or from people who are unwilling to spend a couple minutes on google and do some reading on how to get the most out of this device. Out of the box, the Archos 7 might only be a 3.5-4 star, but with rooted firmware installed and access to the android market and all the many apps on it, it's a solid 5 stars to me (well i'd knock off half a star for battery life exaggerations but i cant). With this device, the more tech-savvy you are, the more you can get out of it, so the better value it is.

Bottom line, if mine got lost or stolen, i'd buy another one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great price for what it can do. Really worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2011
Verified Purchase
I almost considered not buying this product due to a lot of negative reviews I read. But because of the really cheap price, I still considered getting one.

I work as a stage and rigging supervisor and we do outdoor stages and roofing system here in the Philippines. This is my 2nd touchscreen device, my first was a Garmin Nuvi 1410 GPS and I would say that the screen responsiveness of archos 7 is just similar to garmin GPS.

I mainly use this thing for viewing photos, pdfs, sometimes as an audio player/ online radio, browsing the web (when I'm too lazy to switch on my mac desktop), and to watch youtube movies.

PROS:
1. Great photo viewer to show clients plans, designs, proposals, and old stage setups.

2. Very handy during stage setups. It serves as the bluprint of our stage design that I follow and it becomes the checklist of things I need to finish.

3. Fits in my back pocket because of its slim design.

4. The item seems solid and rugged. For me, you don't have to be very careful on this device. This can handle itself with bumps, scratches that it experiences during my rugged stage setups.

I dropped this thing once during a setup, It hit a steel truss then fell on a concrete ground about 3 feet high and its still working fine. If it breaks, I don't mind, I'll get another one. Its very cheap not like the iPad or galaxy tab.

5. Great for watching Youtube (you need to download a modified youtube app to make it work), great for HD 720p movies. Accepts divx, mkv, avi, and almost any format I throw into it.

6. Touchscreen is not as sensitive as an iPad or any capacitive touchscreens but surprisingly responsive. Maybe its because of my big and heavy hands. My sister hates this thing cause she's used to her iPad's too sensitive touch. I sometimes I use the other end of my ballpen as a stylus and its pretty responsive. But this thing works for me.

7. I love the micro SD card expansion. I can expand its capacity up to 40gb

8. Battery life is longer than I expected as long as you turn the wifi off.

CONS:
1. Slow on 3d games but not really a big issue for me. I have another dedicated device for 3d gaming

2. The kickstand wiggles and feels very cheap.

3. weak wifi signal strength you need to be near the wireless router to get great wifi connection.

4. Does not charge via micro USB port so you have to bring the dedicated charger most of the time.

5. Very crappy earphones included.

6. Randomly restarts. it just happened now while I'm writing this review. This was the 2nd time it restarted by itself. the first time was when I dropped it.

7. No bluetooth tethering with my phone. I wish it had a bluetooth so I may connect online using my phone anywhere I am. But, as the name suggests, it is a HOME tablet. you can get the Archos 70 tablet with bluetooth but at twice the price of this.

All in all, a really great product for what it does. For only $149.00, It does almost anything I need it to do. Oh, by the way, this is the Archos 7 Home Tablet Version 2, The one with Android Eclair installed, not the cupcake 1.5 version. I purchased this Feb.7 and got it Feb.14, 2011.

Thanks for reading and I hope this review helps.

Scrivo questa recendsione a distanza di circa 4 anni dall'acquisto di questo prodotto, quindi i tempi rispetto ad allora sono cambiati enormemente. Comunque questo tablet androidi (versione 2.0 non aggiornabile) a fatto a pieno il suo lavoro, che nella fattispecie consisteva nella riproduzione di filmati divx in viaggio. Riesce a leggere quasi tutti i formati divx senza difficoltà e l'audio è di buona qualità, la batteria dura circa 3 h con riproduzione filmati. Per quanto riguarda il resto, c'è suicuramente di molto meglio ad oggi ma sicuramente la ditta Archos non è produce le cinesate da pochi soldi, la qualità costruttiva si vede e anche se non in italano, è disponibile un servizio clienti che risponde veramente con centri assistenza nelle provincie più importanti. Sempre impeccabile il servizio Amazon che questa volta ha sostituito in maniera completamente gratuita l'apparecchio nei primi 15gg per un malfunzionamento delle schermo.

Ich habe mir das Teil nach gründlichen Überlegungen bestellt .
Ich war angenehm überrascht , alles funktioniert einwandfrei .
DVD`s anschauen , Bilder , Musik , Email`s , alles klappte auf anhieb .
Der Screen läßt sich gut bedienen , der Druckpunkt ist optimal .
Wenn man den Bildschirm einmal eingestellt hat funktioniert alles wie bei meinem HTC - Hero .
Das Betriebssystem ist zwar das alte Android , ist aber völlig ausreichend .
Eigendlich ist alles was man braucht zum abspielen verschiedener Datein vorhanden .
Ich sehe noch keinen Grund mir etwas herrunterzuladen .
Das WLan funktioniert bei mir in der Wohnung in jedem Raum ( Fritz-Box Wlan VDSL )
Also : Als Zweitgerät mit Musik und Bildfunktion bestens geeignet .
Telefonieren kann man nicht damit , würde aber auch albern aussehen , mit so einem Teil am Ohr :)
Überall wo Wlan ist , ist man mobil , ansonsten dient das Teil als perfekter Abspieler .
Ich warte jetzt nur noch auf eine bestellte 32 GB SD-Karte für meine DVD`s und Musik .
Also keine langeweile mehr :)
Für das Geld , ein TOP Gerät .
