    Have you checked the reviews? Do you have REALLY BIG hands?

    Puzzled why they would build something as being top end yet skimp on the memory and use an older version of android.

    Personal experience of Archos is stay away, they have no interest in after sales service.

    I disagree

    I had an archos tablet and their support staff were very helpful plus they upgraded android quite promptly unlike others

    Lack of memory will be the deal breaker though

    My experience with Archos is that you get good specs at a good price, but the build quality is dismal, and the firmware will be buggy.

    After purchase customer services is pretty much non existent, and don't expect any firmware updates, bugfixes, or Android updates once the next model is released.
