ChezGiven 0 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Tell me, when you are multi-tasking on the archos (have music, photos and a movie all running with perhaps some office software) does it actually resemble a modern windows based computer? By that i mean slow as fuck and crashes a lot. Out of interest, why would you want to look at photos while watching a movie and listening to an album all at the same time? While perhaps not wanting to use that exact configuration of applications, if anyone else came out with a similar system that didn't allow multi-tasking it would be derided as being useless. It's just about acceptable in a phone but on a tablet/netbook it renders it pretty useless for most modern users who like to flick between applications. I still dont get this, the iPod works over safari, iTunes plays inside iPhoto. If the application closes and opens instantaneously and saves where it is then i cant see how it makes a difference. I can see it being an issue on minor apps but not the built in ones. Since the iPod runs on iPhoneOS behind all applications then its safe to assume you can listen to music whilst working on iWork too. Have you used multi-tasking on a jailbroken phone? Has anyone on here? I have, serves no purpose whatsoever. Am in San Francisco in March so will have a look at it in the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6670 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 With regards to multi-tasking, it's not correct to say that the iPhone & iPad can't multi-task. An application does go into suspended mode whilst you're using another one but the same can be said of devices running Windows Mobile.. (which is as slow as fuck!) Don't forget Apple are using the same mobile OS on the iPad as they us on the iPhone - it won't be running OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChezGiven 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Getting one for our lass. Will keep her away from my mac so i dont have to panic about whether i was private browsing late at night. Watched the Gadget show last night, reviewed Archos alongside iPad. Archos for 1 out of 5, iPad got 4 out of 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21045 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Can't believe it doesn't run Flash. That's the biggest let down of the iPhone imo (that and the shit bateery life and camera). But worst of all, it's purely down to Apple's dogmatic cuntery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apple responded in a statement to technology news site CNet in which it described Flash as "closed and proprietary". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get them for $499 anyway which is about £330 innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumoured it's going to be considerably more than that over here. Just someone I know in the US. They are in short supply there (Im sure they do that on purpose). So he kept me up to date with his order. They were shipped from China (where Apple make them) and arrived in the US last week. He got them today and is sending them FedEx. 10th May for UK prices btw.

Holden McGroin 6454 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I played with the i-pad in the apple store earlier. Looks sexy but im sticking by my original statement that it doesn't fit. Iphone and MacBook will suffice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
