I'm now using a wireless n router and I wonder if these cheaper ones can even connect to it using their wifi. The coby one uses WiFi 802.11 b/g. Are router backwards compatible?

Archos is apparently stepping up quality on their new series of tablets but keeping prices level. I will be watching this...

Here's some cheap tablets.

Ive heard good things about the Nook, but i cant get it in the UK. So im saving for the Asus Transformer.

RPG Pdfs

I don't blame you a bit. Until recently, Archos has been a low-end company (slightly better reputation than Coby, but that's not saying a heckuva lot). But they've been honest about what they were, which I respect. Now it looks as though they're cutting the profit margin in a bid to expand their customer base with higher-quality components, so I'll likely pick one up when the G9 series comes out - if the reviews stack up to my hopes, that is.

I'd want a 10 inch screen for my needs though (reading pdfs) - And I see the 10 inch is reasonable as well, but doesn't get great reviews. Hmmm....

Anyone heard of AC1S?
they have a series of sub £200 on amazon

Never heard of the brand, but you're right in saying the reviews are good, and in my experience customer review is a better gauge than reviews by tech-heads. I guess it depends on how much value you place on a known brandname. If you think it's likely you'll be calling customer service, definitely look into the company's c.s. reviews before buying!

I've never heard of it either. Good specs though.

The white pixel is whats known as a "stuck pixel", Locate the pixel flasher/stuck pixel fixer.
You will eather get an app of a vid but both supposedly do the same thing by refreshing the screen really fast in multiple different colours.

BTW the X220 from AC1S is in the US but its under a different name but search for X220 and you will find it.
