Archos 7 Home Tablet Reviewed: Not The Droid (Tablet) You’re Looking For

I’m a fan of Android tablets. In theory. After all, the OS is pretty sweet, and even without access to the Android Market there are still ways to get my favorite apps on a big screen devices. But somehow the execution on these larger tablets keeps falling short, and the newest one in our lab — the Archos 7 Home Tablet — is not the exception.

There are some aspects of the tablet I really like. Archos is best known as a media player company, so the addition of extra video codecs to cater to media mavens is isn’t a surprise. Unfortunately, that’s about all the tablet has going for it. Check out our full review here and let us know if you agree. In the meantime we’ll keep waiting for that one special tablet that will make us forget about all the heartbreaks of the past.
