Quick question.

I got the Sylvania on black Friday. But I noticed at best buy this week the Archos 7 is on sale for 179.99. Should I keep the Sylvania or return it and get the Archos. I just recently got into the tablets so I am not sure the difference.

Thanks for the help.

Run do not walk away from the Archos 7HT. It is a nice oversized PMP. This is coming from someone who has ( wait for it, count em)
Archos 404, 504, 604
Archos 605
Archos A5A/500, 7HT
Archos 101/16
So that is right friends and neighbors I have an addiction to Archos. BUT I will say except for my 101, they were all refurbs or returns.
The Archos 7HT is limited in so many ways
CPU- RockChip 2808
Android - 1.5
Storage- 8Gb
About the Slowest Boot device I have
Cannot upgrade in any way
Fair B/G card
Good Battery Life and decent Audio/Video is the best thing I can say.
Others might say better things about it, But it was the wrong product at the wrong time by Archos. Go for the Sylvania and accept a middlin' tablet. But it has a better update path. The Archos is worth $150, and I will continue to say that. It is not worth 199, 189, 179, 170 or even 160

But that is just my opinion.

over all if you're willing to tinker a little (ugly market hack.... no recovery ie clockwork, amonra, etc....) and don't need a g-sensor the sylvania is solid device. i'm happy with mine :)
