Also why is 101 better? I thought they had identical specs (except screen)

There are not much differences with A70 and A101, but the A101 has more fixes than the A70 (i think i rode) because its a "newer" version off the A70.

This is just a rumors thread Offical there won't be updates to Android Versione over 2.2.
But i think there will be urukdroid versions with 2.4 or 3.1 And maybe we're getting cyanogen to run (search here on xda)

Peoples wrote here why they bought an Archos Tablet.

This should help you
You can post you questions to me here, but i'll response them at first on sunday, i go away over weekend

I purchased and Archos 7 for my son this past Christmas and I really considered it a great purchase until.... We bought a Nook Color a couple of months ago. Much larger developer support network. Cyanogen 7 runs great on the Nook Color. Nook Color feels more substantially constructed than the Archos. Cost is almost identical, we picked ours up for $200 from the BN EBay store when they had a big push a couple of months ago.

i'd suggest getting a nook color instead. it's sturdier, better screen and cheaper. lots of active dev going on with it too.

the archos shines in the multimedia playback dpt though. it'll play all kinds of files and has very good sound quality. however, it's screen isn't very good - the 101 is even worse, almost as bad as the gtablet's screen.

the 70 i had and the 101 i have lock up a lot when doing more than 1 thing or trying to do things too fast, like multitab browsing. the 256MB of RAM limits your performance. the nook has 512.

so it all depends on what you want. a 7" tablet, go for the nook color (or galaxy tab wifi - it's hardware is the same as the nook's, the 3g has better hardware). for a multimedia powerhouse, the archos is better; the galaxy tab is almost as good.

I just sold my archos 101, I highly reccommend you to not get the archos..altough games were "payable" it had some issues and lags

get a honeycomb tablet, the most inexpensive (and hard to find) is the asus transformer..which is only US $400

I use urukdroid atm because its the best and i test things with lenn for $auron , but if honeycomb for android is coming i take it then (i think) ;-)

This was a very good tablet for its price 6 months ago. It is now still good, but if you can get the transformer with Honeycomb with only 100 $ more... just do it.

In any case I have a very good experience with the 101. It does sometimes have some lag, but I wouldn't say that the device is overall slow, it's just OK. Raging Thunder is perfect. Most games I have tried also run smooth (except Fruit Ninja which lags), but I don't really use many resource hungry games.

Having more ROMs developed is always good in any case.

Let me repeat it: the 101 is indeed a good tablet, whith lots of interesting features (full size USB, HDMI, and the kickstand!!!!), but getting a for 100 $ more is probably worth the price difference (unless I am missing some lacks of the transformer).

Be careful that the build quality of the 101 is also not fantastic. It's not really bad and I have no problems at all with mine, but it's mostly made up with plastic, not metal, I am quite sure that it would break if it fell even from relatively low heights. The screen also breaks easily, using a hard case is recommended. Also, the viewing angles of the screen are quite bad, but you will get used to this.
