Gen 8. - Gen8 General

Sorry if this is totally retarded but are all archos tablets considered gen 8. ? I haven't found one dubbed that by the manufacturer and trying to make sure the archos 101 internet tab will work with the rims in the dev section. . Thank you for your time and help. Also sorry if I missed the answer on this board I tried a general search didn't see it. Thanks.

1. No, not all Archos tablets are Gen8. Archos had a series of tablets before the Gen8 (I think they were the 5 inch models.)
2. Here's a link to the Gen8
http://www.archos.com/products/ta/index.html?country=us&lang=en

Thank you very much. Just bought the ten inch.

Aside from the 5 inch models, there was a 7 inch model prior to the Gen 8, it was the Archos 7 Home Tablet
And there was also a 9 inch model that ran windows before the Gen 8 too.

My theroy about the 5 nexus devices rumor

rumors have been going on about the 5 nexus devices to be released this year as Google io is done the nexus Q is 1 Nexus 7 is 2 and there are rumor of a nexus 10 device which could be 3 and 4 is the next nexus device and 5 could be their own branded Google Tv
I'm wondering whether Google will release a Nexus phone this year as in November, the galaxy nexus will have been out for a year...
Sent from my Nexus S
figure 1 phone and possibly another Tablet, who knows about the last. It's a shame the NexusQ isn't a GoogleTv device but no reason it couldn't be upgraded to one in the future.
I think it may go something like this (slight modification to your idea):
Nexus Q
Nexus Tablet 7in
Nexus Tablet 10in
New Nexus Device $500-$600 - This is the device to rule all devices
GNex Reduced to around $249-$299 - This will allow for a budget friendly, unlocked and powerful device for people who do not want to drop the big bucks for the new device (see above)
If this was the case I would grab the Gnex for my wife and the New device for myself!!
10inch tab is a must
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
I'm going to have to disagree, the Xoom still fits that area pretty well (especially since it just got JB) and the Nexus 7 owes most of it's success to it's price point (which I doubt a 10 inch version could come close to since it would need a higher resolution than 1280x800).
Is there the possibility for a 8.1 inch Nexus 7? This should keep the price still lower than $500. Perhaps $300, and a really good size-neither big nor small.

It doesn't make sense to release a new device for 1.1 more inches of screen size.
I personally don't want a nexus 10 but to be different I suggest nexus 9 i have had 3 10 inches tablets (HP touchpad, Motorola xoom , and Samsung galaxy tab 10.1, ) and the bn nook color along with a iPad 3 (mywifes) and I have to say.... when I went to best buy to check out Samsung's 8.9 it was just the right size .... didn't get one because just don't have the money .... so nexus 9 FTW!

Should I buy the nexus 7 or...

Hi guys, well I live in Kuwait and the nexus 7 8gb is roughly around 275$ (I know it's expensive but that's the price its sold at cause it's imported) anyways I would still consider it a good price cause there's nothing similar in that price range except that I am in a dilemma over the new Huawei mediapad 10 FHD which is at 375$ (the same price the 16gb nexus retails for).
Frankly I read a lot of good things about the nexus but am considering the Huawei because of 3g support & 1080p 10.1 inch display. Now which one would be a better choice? I'm unsure of Huawei about the after sales support and developer support. But it looks like a bargain for its specs. I'm confused.

What I can tell you is that I love my Nexus 7 The 7 inch screen for me is just amazing. Before I bought the tablet ( because it is my first ) I was thinking about Ipad. I tried to hold it comfortably and without panting ( because of the weight ) but couldn't. If you want a small but still readable and easy to hold/move tablet that has google support go for it : )
I have no experience with the huaweii whatsoever so can't judge it or rate it but ask yourself how will you use the tablet
I just picked up a nexus 7 too and its amazing. I like it much better than the iPad. The 7 inch screen and the size of it just feels better in your hand than a larger tablet. But that's just my humble opinion.

Thanks for the opinion guys, guess I'll try them both in my hands and get a feel although I'm more inclined towards the Google child..

Are Nexus 7 owners still happy with their device now Nexus 10 is announced?

I recently sold my iPad as I havent used it since becoming an S3 and then a Note 2 owner. My initial plan was to get the new 32gb N7 as I liked the size of it and the specs seemed great too. Plus the fact its still a portable size and not to clumsy to handle.
Anyway, since seeing the N10 specs im in two minds as what to do. Are any N7 owners thinking of selling up and moving to N10 or is the N7 still capable of holding its own.

I'll move to the Nexus 10 once they announce one with a cellular radio. Otherwise, I'm happy staying on the N7 for the time being. Besides, once I get the N10, I'll gift this to my mom.
I will keep my N7. And for N10 I learned my lesson not to be an early adopter and wait a few months. :beer:

So I had a nook color as my first tablet which was 7 inches and loved it, then got an HP touchpad and put ice cream sandwich on, and I can say I rarely used my touchpad, I would a little bit here and there but it was big and bulky to carry around, however since I have gotten the nexus 7 which is almost 2 months ago now, I haven't put the thing down.
Its small enough to put in a bag, and comfy enough to type on using both hands without having to prop it up or manipulate it differently.
While its still has enough screen real estate to scale stuff right, also the UI that Google put on this kinda big phoneish in a way is awesome, this is a device meant for portrait use where as the nexus 10 feels landscape bound in nature

Most of the time I prefer 7 to 10. There are times 10 would be better (working at a desk, or doing a presentation), but if I had to pick one size it would be 7. I do wish I could have gotten 16 gig of memory for the same price though, although I'm doing fine with 8 with some care.

Yes. Because a 7inch tablet is not a 10 inch tablet.
For sure! With so many other 10" tabs on the market. We all chose the N7 for one reason or another. I have an 8 GB and love love love it still.

I already have a 10.1" tablet along with my Nexus 7 and my S III. I'm good with what I have.
If the Nexus 10 and 7 were released at the same time, I would still have purchased the Nexus 7. Its a great device, and its Google's flagship. It has a great dev. community, its $199...love it
I love the 7" format. So yes, I am happy with it. Great product for the price. The 10" was much more than expected and in no position to spend that much on a device at this time.

When the 7 was announced I decided not to buy it because I prefer a bigger tablet for reading documents and web surfing. The price was great, but so is in the 10.
Seriously... 399$ for a 10 inch super hd screen with powerful processor and 2GB RAM? It's as great as a deal as on the 7.
7 is too small for serious work. If I were going to use it only as entertainment then it would be enough.

[Q] Does it worth duying a Nexus 7

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a nexus 7, but I don't know if it worths the money.
I mean I love nexus family but there are many tablets going out nowadays and
I don't know which to peak.
I am seeking for advices whether is a good tablet or I should buy another tab.
Any suggestions apriciated .
Thanks in advance.
AW: [Q] Does it worth duying a Nexus 7
I would recommend to buy it, it's great
But if you can wait a few months, wait until the Google I/O, maybe they will publish an update of the nexus 7 :good:

I would honestly recommended the nexus. Its by far the best 7 inch tablet out there and it can even easily compete with the 10 inch ones. Its perfectly suitable for my everyday needs and the quad core processor is blistering compared to these sluggish dual Core ones

Yes , I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus 7.
I also believe that the new Samsung note 8 will be a great competition
for the nexus.
I am worried about the problems that I have read over the forum
and about the 1gb ram I think it needs more.

Honestly you can't go wrong buying a Nexus 7, specially the price.
what kind of feedback are you expecting from a forum dedicated to people who love their nexus 7? this is like going to a mazda dealership and asking them if it's worth buying a mazda.
Agree with the post above mine, but the reason I bought the 7 specifically is due to the price. For $250 there isn't a better device available.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You get great specs at the best price point out there. What is it not to love, and what makes the decision so hard. For the 7 inch form factor, it has no rival nowadays. If you're looking for a bigger display, a better resolution go with the nexus 10, galaxy tab 2, galaxy note 10.1 etc.
No, I don't think you should dye the nexus, but in all honesty you should buy it

Just like the "Secret Garden" that had been growing without any care or management, locked behind a door.
Actually it was horrible looking until it was "opened up" and cleared and replanted. Put Android on that iPad
I have an ipad2, a TF700T and two Nexus 7s. The Nexus 7's are my favorites. Right size, right price, right speed. Tad heavy. So far not the smallest glitch in either one. One is a 32gig wi-fi, the other is a 32gig wi-fi/ATT.
Zero buyers remorse on this purchase.

I like my GT2 10.1" (i497 AT&T). But to be fair, I have had the G1 7' from Verizon and the HTC Jetstream from AT&T. And the GT2 beats them both.

planning to get next version of nexus 7 when its release in the market. personally i'm more comfortable with vanilla android. still however a proud owner of p3100
+1. While i am equally happy with my tab, the only reason i didn't get the nexus 7 was the pi$$ poor launch and the questionable build quality of the device. I was one of the few who returned the device on delivery. I hope the 2nd version does not go through the same issues and they get rid of the 8gb nonsense altogether.

Only reason i picked up a GT2 7.0 is because i missed out on the sales on the N7. That said, I'm pretty happy with the GT2 7.0 with all the support on this forum. I've only had it a week but i've already got it rooted and tried several ROMs on this beast. Currently running Dark Fantasy by Adi and it seems to be pretty smooth so far. I'd post to his thread but i'm still low on the post count...
I absolutely love my Tab2 10.1. I have played around with the different versions of the iPad and other tablets, but there is something about how well built this one is. In all honestly, the iPad and iPad mini are just glorified and overpriced iPhones. I own an iPhone as my daily user, but the tablet allows me to do a lot of my schoolwork on it that the other Apple devices won't let you do.

I really love my 7.0 tablet after finally getting a script to work to switch the external SD card with the internal one,giving me 64GB of space for apps to install
I just bought mine last week,I do not regret this purchase. I do look forward to seeing how the Asus Memopad HD is in August though,its pretty much a Nexus 7,except with an external SD card slot and in different colors.
I bought my tablet to replace a broken Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 I bought around Christmas 2011,it got damaged from very heavy rain by accident while it was inside my backpack and yes I did the rice thing for a few days,is pretty dead. So far I love the Galaxy Tab 2 though,it plays all the files that my old Galaxy Player could not play,so no more converting video files
I used the old player purely for games and watching videos,and so far the Galaxy Tab is doing a great job at this for me.
