Archos 101 tablet

Has anyone had a chance to look at the new Archos 101 10" tablet?

It appears to have everything the iPad has and more, for about half the price.

How does it compare with the iPad?

Would this be a good tablet to get for development purposes?

You should wait until the next version of Android comes along, because until then, they won’t have official access to the Android market, because Tablets aren’t officially supported yet.

I guess I was wrong, yesterday I was at an Android Developer meeting, where a Samsung Galaxy Tab was present, it has full market support and with that it is the first tablet that is worth targeting with your games.

You are right and wrong :slight_smile:
the galaxy tab is by definition (also if you look at the specs) just a super sized phone and aside of the screen size 1:1 equal to the galaxy s, you can even phone with it. thats likely how it gets through.

but official support for such reasolutions etc is indeed a Gingerbread feature.

The Galaxy tab has also a different resolution, 1024x600.
The developer of Kumpa showed some slides, what he had to change to support the tablet (it was his), I’ll try to get the slides from him.

1024x600 resolution should not have any issues with Unity.
We tested Unity Android with tegra board with pugged in monitor.
