Just picked up one of the v1 Archos 7 Home Table from TigerDirect( when it was listed as Android 2.1). Arrived yesterday and I had to charge it so I couldn't play with it or try to update it. This morning though I had 2 minutes before work to check it out.
Initial impressions are that this thing is pretty darn slick and better than expected. But...one major issue. Scrolling seems impossible to the point that I thought I might have a bad unit. Swiping/sliding with your finger did nothing to scroll the screen. When you attempted though, it would sometimes register the sliding as a click, so when trying to scroll the settings menu for example, it kept choosing sub menus thinking I clicked them. Finally I started to notice that if I gave it a lot of pressure during the scrolling it seemed to do a little better. But this seems more than just a resistive vs passive screen issue. Is this a general known complaint?
Unfortunately this scrolling would be a deal breaker for me. It's really bad. Is there a firmware fix for this, or some kind of setting or something?
