The Arnova 10 G2 (The second Arnova 10 release), is nothing short of a powerhouse tablet
for media and media storage. It should also be said that Arnova is a subsidary of Archos.
So for those in the know, Archos is a familiar powerhouse name.
It should be said that there is a "Arnova 10b G2" as well, the difference in the b.
This model is nothing more then a screen upgrade, and sells typically for $20-50 more;
based off where your buying it. The ram I think is also just a touch faster.
The basic 10 is also Resistive touch with a smaller viewing angle. while the B has
capacitive multitouch with good angles.
Although the Arnova 10 G2 is designed to be a media tablet, it does it all as well as any other.
Plays games, reads ebooks, makes calls "including skype video, google talk, etc".
And the one I got to play with streamed Netflix in 720p to an HDTV through HDMI out.
In fact, the only reason he had one, was for that reason; it was cheaper then a media ceneter
netbook/notebook computer.
Further on, in my toying around, using a picture frame stand, I used it on said tv to place
a skype call home, the cameras quality was decent, its a basic VGA camera;
I couldnt find what megapixel it was; simply "VGA" which is 640x480.
This is a review, so I will not guess. The website says 720p camera too.
I would agree with 720p.
It played games as well, the standard by which I test games on these tablets now is simply
what is the most popular, so... Angry Birds plays well, no lag, sputtering, and fast loads.
For the money, you cant go wrong; my recommendations are this;
If your looking for an ereader, get this, its cheaper then the vox, fire, nook color, etc
and will do it better; and since its a tablet you can mess around with other stuff.
-- For the non-G2 Model -- "Arnova 10"
These non G2 models also have insufficient cpu to game with, great for facebook
video chat, ereading etc however.
There is no marketplace "just appslib" and the getjar website worked ok.
cant be upgraded past 2.1 eclair but a 2.2 unstable OS hack is available; avoid it.
Theres no support for flash nativly "remember that flash comes in 2.2 and later OS"
Sideloading works, "its how i got Angry birds in!"
Make sure you get G2 models if thats what you want!
