    Never heard of it before, but it looks like rubbish. I trust CNET for reviews...then look at Amazon customer reviews (which there are none which makes me wary!)

    That CNET review looks like its for a completely different model.

    Arnova is Archos's budget range.

    If you need a 10 inch tablet and that's your budget, you're not going to get a galaxy note ;)

    Arnova, there batteries tend to let them down a lot, have seen so many of them get returned where i work. Plus they do tend to be a bit sluggish as compared to the dual or quad core tablets.

    Apart from battery, it all depends on what you want a tablet for.

    Mist of the time, I'd have access to mains/car power.

    I'm assuming you can run them off mains and car power?

    BTW. According to the product description, it has a dual-core processor.

    I have an older Arnova which is fine, but doesn't have access to Google Play store for apps - not sure if this one does?Not the end of the world - other app stores are available, but Google has the best range of apps imo

    Yeah run them of main and car, but best not to. As with all battery items these days, best to charge and use them of charge. Helps keep the battery conditioned.

    My bad, it is there latest model, so is dual and 4.2, so will have play store.

    Just looked and Toys R U are selling the same tablet for £99, plus with voucher code - 9908080969990 Get it for £95. (not sure if meant to post codes on here , but oh well)
