For me.. yeah
I had a feeling that the hardware wouldn't quite cut it with the Gamepad, I am interested in their TV connect gizmo though.. but haven't yet seen anything other than what is on the official Archos site.. anybody any idea when we are likely to get some more details/previews..?

After having read that review...
I still really want one!
By the way, I can't believe that I still haven't seen anyone selling one of these on eBay.

I couldn't either. Then I noticed eBay changed. After searching you now have to click "worldwide" on the left side to see items in other countries that will ship "worldwide"After having read that review...

I got a Gamepad 2 days ago this way. But I paid for it

Hey monster I'd never heard of the jxd 7300 (or the company for that matter) thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Do you know if it will be available worldwide mid Jan & have European/UK resellers..?

No problem, perhaps we'll see some more activity soon.
Another question if I may, you seem to be up to speed with the various soc's & mobile tech.. much more so than I am anyway.
How does the hardware on this stack up, say in relation to something like the Nexus 7 (layman's terms please)
Cheers.

Was this review AFTER the Firmware upgrade?
The reason I ask is because a lot of what they complain about has been fixed or at least HUGELY improved with the latest firmware.
Analog problems are gone, battery lasts longer, multiple button presses fixed, diagonal button presses fixed on d-pad, etc, etc

I know titles and numbers but indepth understanding count me out, someone like exophase is your guy, anyway
- cpu side the dual 1.6GHz arm a9 rockchip is less powerful than the quad core 1.3GHz a9 tegra t30
- gpu side quad core mali-400 is about on par with a galaxy s2(about ~2/3 of that in the galaxy s3) and is slightly slower than tegra t30 but it seems like mali has more compatible game than tegra
- also dont discount the os, android 4.2 from google might have better performance than what archos engineers are able to pull out
here is nfsmw running with all the graphic details on

pretty much the same, amlogic mx has dual mali corea but clocked higher than the rockchip part and the cpu is similar to the rockchip

I got mine last week and that review doesnt do it justice yes it had a shed load of issues but the majority of them have been rectified with the firmware upgrade most games i tried performed up to the level i expected, yes the dpad isnt up to scratch but most games can be controlled(ie emulation etc) with analog and i can confirm they are real not on and of switches the display is ok kinda prefer 1024x600 as lower res emulation look less jagy on these displays the hdmi out is brilliant and now that the mapping tool problem is solved i still think its worth 130 pounds of anyones money ,tested wifi in local macdonalds as they are notorious for bad wifi and it ran like a charm.Just wish i had a good video phone to make a vid for you guys but my iphone 3g is shit at that.

Still Fresh
What's the battery life after the fw upgrade?
I couldn't wait for availability here (back in Greece) so I ordered a china tablet (gaming controls on my tablet would be more of a hindrance). Still, this is interesting to follow.

Its about 3.25 hours dont believe all these scare mongers this is a good system not the most powerful but it does what it says on the tin and has all the features the nexus 7 should have had
