archos 7 compatible with amazon unbox videos? Does anyone know if the archos 7 (or any of the archos media tablets) are compatable with amazon downloads?

i have the archos 5 right now and am trying it out. no luck :( i click on devices and the archos 5 doesn't pop up. i am very disappointed. Edit: IT WORKS! YOU HAVE TO SET THE USB PREFERENCE: WINDOWS MEDIA DEVICE. Then it will work. The quality isn't the greatest but it works.

Any commercial DVD's that you own will have to be decrypted to place onto your Archos, but it is possible. Google can help you find. Obviously this is illegal if you don't own the DVD and MPAA might argue it is illegal even if you do own the DVD. There are also sites for Archos users that will be helpful. One is ArchosFans.com.

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

Natively, Amazon Prime Instant Videos require Adobe Flash Player installed on the tablet, which is not available on Android tablets like this Acer. Kindle Fire and iPads are supported. There are several free apps which state that they can stream Amazon Instant Videos; however I have not found one that works. I just unsuccessfully tried the free "Can I Stream It" app. If you are adventuresome the following link will supposedly step you through how to install and run Flash on an Android tablet - http://www.teleread.com/amazon/how-to-stream-amazon-instant-videos-on-a-nexus-7-or-other-android-tablet/. If running Amazon Instant Video on a tablet is important to you, I suggest that you get an Apple iPad instead.

There is no compatible app for the Keedox box for Amazon Instant Video. There are work arounds I've see on the net but have not tried them.

Since this is an android tablet there is something even cooler you can do: download XMBC media player for Android (XBMCdotORG). Then add the addons from fusion, and Xunity. The add ons include 1Channel, MashUp and IceFilms which will give you access to over 100,000 movies and TV shows for free. There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube, just enter XBMC add ons. You will not regret it. Supercharge Dios on Youtube is a great resource.

What about amazon video. This is really frustrating as I continue to wait as all of my Sony products stream Amazon without a hitch.

Please, someone that has actually done this should be the one to answer. The reason I say that is because I just recently (within a week ago from right now) discovered, along with other people, that it is still not possible to watch Amazon Instant Video material on an Android Tablet unless it's one of Amazon's tablets. If anyone has direct, personal experience to the contrary with this exact tablet model, please post up.

I used to believe I couldn't watch video with the viewpad 7, but I now know I can watch uTube, there are a couple of browsers on the Android market which will allow you to watch some kinds of video. There is a download utility that works with a player, but I haven't used it more than a couple of times. Video from facebook is playable, MP4, divx, all the usual digital formats are playable, I load from my desktop to the tab.. Hulu is not viewable, but I do have a desktop and a laptop for that. Get either a 16 or 32 gig micro SD card. BTW: I tried an Acer Iconia 10" tab, 3.2, and it couldn't play Hulu either. I just like the Viewpad because of its size, and connectability.

You need a form of Adobe FlashPlayer; it is not pre-installed on the device as Google announced in 2012 that it was discontinuing Flash for mobile devices. There are a couple of easy options available to get around this issue; you can load a browser from PlayStore that has Flash bundled in such as FlashFox (free app). FlashFox works, but it can lag at times and the ads at the bottom of the browser window drive me nuts. The better way is the second option; Amazon announced in September that it would support Prime for Android mobile devices. This can be extended to tablets using the appropriate steps. Just follow the instructions shown below to install the required apps: 1) Install the Amazon Appstore on your device. ( https://www.amazon.ca/gp/feature.html?docId=1001206081) 2) Open the Amazon Appstore (orange icon), search for the Amazon app (the icon has the Amazon logo over a blue shopping basket), and install it. 3) Open the newly installed Amazon App (shopping basket icon), & sign into your account. 4) Once signed in, navigate to any Prime instant video and select "watch now". You will then be prompted to install Amazon Player; do so. 5) Once player installs, you're done. You can now watch any Prime video via your Amazon App. Please note, there is an Amazon app for tablets on Google PlayStore, but it WILL NOT support Prime video on tablets. You must use the above instructions in order to achieve Prime video functionality on this tablet. Hope this helps

I just got mine today and yes it is compatible with Amazon Prime Videos once you link it to your account.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

The Zen X-fi will work with Amazon Unbox, but the Zen X-fi 2 lacks the necessary DRM10, so it's a no-go. Honestly, just stick away from Creative. They seem to have little vision for the high quality company they once were.

Just remember that you can't use the SD card to play videos bought on-line. Neither Amazon's nor Itunes will work. They must be loaded in the internal memory.
