@inteliboy.. you do realize that the technology when Nokia Communicator was released was nowhere near where it iPhone was released.
Btw, that Nokia Communicator was fantastic.
I don't see any resemblance to iPhone out of the photos you posted.. The fact they have similar form factors and thus look alike is totally idiotic, sorry.
Apple is already behind in every aspect.. The hardware looks dated, the software is shit compared to the latest Android and so many other things..
Apple did what they always do, created something with style and then they stopped adding to it so they can milk the fancows for money.
Nokia phones looked like iphone long before iPhone came out.. if anything iPhone copied all of them in some aspects.

I'm waiting to see what the iPad 2 has to offer. Another reason for not getting an iPad early was the lack of iOS 4.

motorola star tac. still used by many business men today for its battery life, signal strength, and durability
the ability to stalk a girl on your phone or entertain your kid with a game does not an excellent device make
the ilife is subjection, steve jobs is a new millennium jesus shuffling his sheep around
so did you hear about the beatles? you may not have, i hear holding an iphone degrades its signal reception

I've used an android tablet in Japan. Crap. It's a bad knockoff of iOS. The animation is clunky feeling, the app UIs are all over the place and often horrid.
Unless you absolutely need flash on a tablet, I don't see the sense in any of these. Maybe if they get sub 250$ and you're on a budget, maybe.
- you act like flash is the only benefit, that archos thing kills and have been great devices over ipods for yearshonestly
- You're smoking rocks. If they were good, people would buy themmnmlst
- they gave been out of stock since they were released,
waiting list till decembergeorgesIII - Yawn. Enjoy the hardware failure. It's like when I told my dad not to buy a PC laptop. It died.mnmlst

Archos availability: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_s…
Waiting list? nope. "but there is a new one!"
I'm sure they will sell 20 of them and then be available just like all these other ones are. It's xmas time, everything sells out... well except these. Look at the reviews.... ouch

Responding to mnmlst,
the only reason why you never heard of this tablet is because Archos really really need a FUCKN ADVERTISING TEAM,but the church of the sacred apple always find deffects in all non approved products anywways,
once I get it,
I'll write a long review- agreed! Archos have been amazing for years. they are just crap at generating interest..Hombre_Lobo_2

no doubt Apple has an army of followers (like any good cult) but the issue is that media simply loves Apple and Apple knows how to approach them.. I've never seen more ass licking and reviews of Apple products that find excuses for every retarded thing they have..
Apple hides every single defect on their products from the consumers to the point of engaging their whole legal teams. They will never admit that there's something wrong wtih their product, thus the whole misinformed and "customer satisfaction" bullshit.
What's even fantastic is their customer support is drilled that way to make you feel as if they are doing you a favor even though their device broke down and they had to replace it for you.
If anything, Apple hardware quality is no better than any other smaller company in the world, actually in many cases it's worse.. but Apple and Steve Jobs are absolute masters in deception and show like presentation. They are the only ones who call their products "magical", "best on the planet" and shit like that and blackmail tech blogs and sites to write shit about them because if you say anything bad about Apple, they'll put you on a Steve Jobs' shit list and you'll never get another product from them ever to review.
I guess that speaks for the integrating of tech media in general. I mean, just look at PC world.. they have become Apple's bitch writing about everything Apple in a way where it almost feels like their editors are touching themselves while writing the articles.. There's always an excuse for every single flaw Apple product has to justify it's astronomical prices.
It's a joke really.

and a reason why a company like Archos will always seem like inferior product when in fact some of their products are downright space science compared to Apple shit.
- shhhhhhhht!!

http://www.amazon.co…

I'm eye balling the samsung galaxy now. I need something to surf the web while laying down, and the ipad is a bit heavy to drop on my face.
- Verizon has a plan of 1GB a month for $20pinkfloyd
- I saw someone using the galaxy on the train, def too small for me, did look nice thoughgeorgesIII

LOL.. what kills me every time is the whole Steve Jobs' 7" screen is small.. The same company who made the 1" multi-touch iPhone nano that runs apps...
I mean talk about hypocrisy and Steve Jobs being a douche.
God I can't stand that shit.

So what's great about this is that it's the old style (modernized design) approach to tablets (before ipad) but now we will have AIR and other apps running on them and new marketplaces like Intel AppUp and Adobe's InMarket that will make it a perfect combo.
ANd it's gonna be open, actually functional and efficient for people on the go and will run with batteries like a tablet.
This is the best of both worlds.

That Dell looks slick. I have no interest in tablets other than for movies on the go really. These Netbook-swivels running Windows 7 are pretty much what I'd like.

George hows the tablet?? Pleased to see someone not bumming apple products all day long. (apple products are all decent, just sick of evangelists)
The galaxy tab looks awesome. i recently nearly bought the the samsung galaxy S phone, a crazy powerful phone with a screen that can withstand ball bearings from a gas powered pistol!
but im waiting on an android phone that can run almost any Playstation 1 game, on its PSX4ALL emulator :)

i still cant get over how simple tethering is on android devices. such a cool feature.
So george
am i right in thinking that above video lets you access all your home media via a network wirelessly? That would be mega convenient. Hook your tv up to your tablet too! BOOM!- bingo.. tethering/wireless hotspot thing is my favorite feature as I use my wifi ipad everywhere without paying the premium to Apple.Boz
- the premium to Apple.Boz
- ha well played!
