Frederick Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I am thinking of getting a tablet. The main use will be to take to France use the Wi Fi for emails and Skype . So I need one with a forward face camera . I have looked at the Ipad 2 nice as it is ....its expensive and I will not need 3000 apps The Archos 101 has usb ports so will let me plug in extras like a USB powered external DVD player to watch a film while on the boat .I usually have to seek a ships socket to power my laptop to watch a film and today the whole world seem to have cottoned on to the idea where with a tablet the battery life seems to be 10 hours so no more socket searches .Has anybody got the Archos 101 which is half the price of an Apple Ipad2 and how good and how reliable have you found it ?

Bob T Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I have a 10" Android tablet that is probably about half the price of the Archos. I love the thing, but find that with the Wifi and GPS switched on the battery only lasts about 4 hours of use. Not tried skype with it yet. There is a good free Android app for Gmail.
