[Q] Archos 70b Internet Tablet - Honeycomb?

I picked up the newly released Archos 70b Internet Tablet recently. Archos announced this 'enhanced' version comes with many upgrades over the standard 70 model including Honeycomb. While it does have the better screen and more RAM its stuck on Android 2.2.1???
Was this a mistake by Archos or should this have the later software as advertised?
Anyone else got one yet?
Archos 70b Internet Tablet - Honeycomb?
If you head over to Forums.Archosfans.com and look at A70 section, you will find quite a lot of info and speculation about the new A70b - but basically expect honeycomb 'anyday'

[Q] Archos 101 IT - gen8 or gen9?

Hi, I've been thinking about buying a budget Android tablet for a while, but mixed reviews of things like the AndyPad put me off. I now have the opportunity to pick up a used Archos 101 Internet Tablet for about £100 (so inside budget territory) but I can't figure out whether this is a gen8 or gen9 device. I think it's a gen8 as it originally came with FroYo and the screen resolution is only 1024x600, but could just do with someone who knows more about them confirming that, I'm wondering what the chances are of a newer OS coming out for this device.
Even if it's the older gen8 version, is it worth a go for £100 anyway and just put a third-party ROM onto it to get the features I want? Cheers!

this would be the Gen8 tablet, there is very little chance of a newer OS coming to it officially but there are a few projects including getting gingerbread running and also a few people are trying to get ICS to boot
Thanks for confirming that, I've been reading up this morning and it seems like while they were a good purchase a while back, I might be better off with something slightly better specced (more RAM) and with a bit more support. Now tempted by an Advent Vega which is also for sale locally, a little bit more money but better specifications and they already have a working (very well, from what I can gather) Honeycomb port, with ICS well on the way. Thanks for your response though
I think is better buy the g9 .. it's new, use honeycomb and not froyo like the g8 and... Archos have say that upgrade the g9 to ics!

[Q] Nook tablet question

Morning everyone,
I am new to rooting a nook and was hoping someone could help me.
Been searching this forum and tabletroms
I have a regular Nook Tablet. I bought it in 2011 and just rooted it yesterday.
I was hoping that by rooting it, I could use a keyboard case I recently purchased.
I probably should've read further before purchasing the keyboard case, but didn't.
This is the one I have from Amazon: Zuweiyu 7" Tablet Stand with USB Keyboard
I also purchased a Sandisk 16gb microsd card
I followed this tutorial to root my Nook on Youtube: [How To] Root The Nook Tablet (firmware 1.4.3) In 10 Minutes by Project Phoenix Media
All went well.
My keyboard case still doesn't work, though I do have the correct cable hooked up. I plugged it into y laptop and it worked fine.
Upon researching further, discovered that USB is not enabled (or available) on my version of the Nook.
I Googled in hopes of finding any other options and found a page which mentioned something about a kernel. ???
Is there anything else I can do to get the keyboard case to work with my Nook tablet?
Any other tutorials, etc?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
AFAIK, USB Host (which enables attachment & use of USB devices) is currently not supported in stock ROM or any custom ROM for the Nook Tablet.
FWIW, it is supported in the newer Nook HD & HD+ (and I believe the older Nook Color).

Archos 101 Childpad - Any custom roms or possible to update past Android 4.2.2 ?

Hi all!
I have Archos 101 Childpad with android 4.2.2 that is slow and sluggish.
Does anyone know if there is a official android upgrade for this tablet, or is it so old it's time for the trash bin?
It's mainly going to be used by my 3 year old son, so simple games and youtube viewing is going to be installed on it.
I don't need the songs/bear functionality it came with, so any newer android version that will run on it (without killing it's performance) is appreciated.
I tried to look at Archos home page, but I couldn't even find the childpad model listed on the page anymore.
I have no idea which gen (8,9,10,???) this tablet is, but I hope I posted this in the correct forum.
Thanks in advance!

Archos 10.1 tablet cobalt 101, rk3168

Hello!
I had an question about the older cobalt 101 tablet with an rk3168 in it.
Looks like this one what updated by an 1,5ghz version.
I have an older tablet what is special 2 me because i got it from someone special.
I was looking if i could maybe find a working rom for it, because its an emprire electronix rk3168 tablet and the spec of the archos cobalt 101 rk3168 looks the same.
But mine is running 4.2.2, so i don't know if the last firmware is newer as this one..Or maybe there is a custom rom for the archos cobalt 101 rk3168?
I would like to try to install an newer android version what fits the archos cobalt 101 on my empire tablet rk3168. Maybe it works, specs really look the same.
I have all the specs here so if anyone is interested to look of its fits my tablet let me know!
I also backup mine rom just in case,
Thanks!
Erik
