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.

I own the BD-E5900 and was not able to get the Amazon Instant Video. In checking the Samsung support website at: http://www.samsung.com/us/appstore/app/G00009411006-compatible, the BD-E5900 is not listed as a compatible device for Amazon Instant Video.

Yes you can download and install Kindle, Nook, Aldiko, Moon+ Reader and many more. I have Archos 7 Internet Tablet running Android V 2.04. You can install Android Market Application and download hundreds of Applications and E book readers and Games. Since it has a nice screen you can also watch movies and you can hook it up to your TV to watch movies, files photos and videos. It is nice for the price.

There are a few 3rd party apps out there that claim they can get Amazon Prime Videos to work on an android device, but I haven't been able to get them to work. A V.P. with Amazon did announce 4-5 weeks ago that Amazon was coming out with an Android app "soon" that would allow you to use android devices for the Amazon video, but did not give an official sate.

Well I hate to burst everyone's bubble but the Archos 7 is a wonderful piece of tech and has the potential to be used as an excellent E-Book reader. However, currently ebooks are unreadable for the most part on them due to the various digital rights management (DRM) crap that publisher's keep forcing down on consumers via their ebooks. The archos 7 can read a pdf but not a DRM based pdf. If you find away to make it a regular pdf I would imagine it would work fine. I work with alot of pdf documents and I can read all of them just fine on the archos 7 but none of those documents have DRM in the way.

I've been able to add videos to my Muse. You have to change how it's connecting to the computer. In settings on the player, check your PC connection preference. It has to be set to MTP . Then Unbox should recognize the player.

Hi Andrew, I am new at these gadgets. How do you transfer DVDs on Vision W or Archos 604? My interest is simply to watch DVDs and listen to music on long flights; I do not need any recordings. Also, can I use Bose quiet comfort headset with these systems? Will greatly appreciate your response. Thanks. Dinesh.

Yes, I just received my 705 today and downloaded no problem from a VIP 622. I used the USB cable included with the 705. 1. Download and install plugin. 2. Make sure Archos is in Windows Media Player mode (DRM enabled) and not hard disk mode 3. Connect devices together via USB cables (I used the front USB port behind the door) 4. Follow onscreen prompt to use USB device. 5. Select Archos 705 from list on left 6. Select "Send to device" to get to show listing Notes: HBO and Cinemax recordings cannot be transfered due to some stupid copy-protection Dish turned on. They have a note up on their site about it. I have Cinemax and Showtime - Showtime works, Cinemax doesn't. Idiots. This is one BIG point against it which is making me second-guess the purchase since Dish integration was my primary reason to buy it. Shows can be batch transferred (thank god) SD only "at this time" according to the popup. No HD recordings. Shows are listed in recorded order (no folders)

I've used my Archgon drive mostly for burning DVDs (from iDVD on my iMac). It works well. I've also burned Blu-ray data discs for backing up large files. No problems.

The specs are actually Android 4.1 which is the Jelly bean version of android. The Archos does not have Windows XP.

I installed it on my phone, so I have no experience with a tablet. However, I have never had a problem downloading anything from Amazon, so I would probably go that route.

There are many differences, probably too many to list here. A few of the key points are that this runs Archos proprietary software and therefore you can't add anything made by anyone but Archos. On the Android tablet it runs the Android operating system made by Google. It allows that tablet to run many of the programs that people write for the Android platform. In my opinion if you mainly want the device for watching movies and listening to music then you should get the standard Archos 5 although it also does basic web and email. If you want a device that will do many other things (with new features being added frequently) then look at the Android tablet. For me those other features aren't worth the substantial price hike because I use a smart-phone for those things.

The question raised by Robert Jordan is also of interest to me. How can one transfer DVDs to Archos 7? What problems are we likely to encounter and how should we resolve them? What is the best software to load DVDs and Blu ray disks?Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Prime videos are NOT supported by AOSP at all, so it is not available on any platform that is not a direct partner with Amazon. Another way around it is XBMC with the Amazon add-on but currently on the support libstage builds the add-on is not supported. Give it some time and you can "maybe" have this feature by default on this unit but it will never come from the Playstore.

Yep, bigger screen, and the 705 had no buttons on the face like the 605, but the 705 comes with a Sweet REMOTE, and it has MUTE ! Very nice.... luv the mute. I like the 705 better, I only use it for Dish network, and beware, Archos is all about selling software plug ins, so go to the archos website BEFORE you buy, and see how Much the plug in you want is gonna cost ya, Luckily for me the Dish "plug in" is free.... alot of the rest of the Device is locked out till you pay more Money ! and Have EXTRA patience when first turning them on outta the BOX, it takes several resets and trys, took about 20 minutes ! IT WILL COME ON... Yep, bigger screen, and the 705 had no buttons on the face like the 605, but the 705 comes with a Sweet REMOTE, and it has MUTE ! Very nice.... luv the mute.

No, amazon has a pretty tight lid set on what can and cannot access its video services, and the majority of android devices are not given access. There are of course ways around this, the easiest of which is view through the browser, (chrome usually works best for me). All other standard android video apps will work though, such as Netflix and the like. If you're looking for Amazon video compatibility on a tablet, then your best bet is to go with a kindle, (any version will work, and the KF2 can be found on Amazon for 99 dollars).
