Archos 43 Avail for £157 in Uk

[StretchArm]

I've now cranked up my Wifi and have now played with the browser, downloaded some apps.

I could not connect at 802.11n, but I've sure I read this is a know issue. Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next firmware.

This shows you how to do many things including setting up Flash, Android Market and Youtube.

It's a little annoying that the market isn't installed as standard as there are so many useful apps here and some may not want to install a workaround.

All these work well and I've also now got access to the bbc iplayer.

I like the browser, it's far better than other mobile browsers I've used with the exception of the iphone, but is on a par with that one.

Other browsers like opera mini are also available.

Being new to android I'm almost overwhelmed by the things I can now do with my media player. Got games, gmail, maps, pdf viewer, podcast manager, internet radio etc etc etc.

I was a bit sceptical about getting a 43 when the 1st round of user reviews and comments came out as they seemed to suggest that this was a dud product. I'm not sure why though as I've been nothing but impressed.
It's far exceeded my expectations for a media player. I love it!!!
