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 checked the compatible devices listed, and the archos 605 and 705, etc were listed, but I didnt know if the ones listed were all of the compatible ones, or if they were amazon's suggestions among the compatible devices...I'm hoping that Archos devices are comatible across the board. archos 7 compatible with amazon unbox videos?

I know it supports the Amazon system, Netflix, and I believe it also supports Red Box streaming, but I wouldn't swear to it. Seems to work well, but a trick I have learned is if you have a problem with discs not loading correctly or any function not working, unplug the unit then plug it back in and it seems to reprogram it to function good as new. Strange, but it relies heavily on being controlled by the remote, and it will occasionally seem to be confused on the function. By unplugging it this seems to solve the issue and it hasn't been a problem as a result. I have it plugged into a rack system with many other stereo and video components so that might be what is causing it.

Just checking, the Leapad does NOT play videos or music? We were about to buy it for my 5 years old nephew, but I we want something that can play movies and music, so we don't have carry his portable dvd player along anymore, or use our phones for him to watch videos or listen to music. I had not even considered the Innotab, but being able to play videos and music on the tablet is hands down better than having a built in camera, imo. Could somebody confirm this, thank you.

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.

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.

Well, note that the Boxee Box was working with the Amazon VOD service. But after the last Boxee patch (5/26/2011 for us), the Amazon VOD service no longer works.You can browse to the site, pick out a movie, everything is great. But when you click the "Play" button - it is un-clickable with Boxee.Recent change. But what happened?How can I un-do the Boxee Box upgrade?JDMc

I am not sure if amazon video is compatible. There are many apps to choose from to stream video. I use Netflix. The picture quality is at least as good as DVD when streaming. However, I find that Netflix has a lot of issues. I will need to sign back in, it will not load and then at least every 3 months you have to update the Blu-ray player. Other streaming Blu-ray players seem to have the same issues.If you are going to mainly stream video, I would recommend buying something else. This is fine for occasional use but can cause many headaches.

I don't know if the Archos is better than the Coby -- all I know is that it's **** near impossible to find and, if you do find one, you're going to be paying through the nose. (Used models on eBay are going for more than the list price for a new one, and new ones...don't ask!)

Same Question!!! no one answered yet?!?Does this DVR works with New Archos 5 ???

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.

Battery life for the Archos 7 as a .pdf viewer is at least 7 hours with some time still left on the battery. I use it all day while I am teaching at school. At this writing the unit cannot be used as an ebook per se. However, there is software available to convert the ebook to .jpeg and view as a picture. This works pretty well but you have the extra step of converting. Archos should include an ebook reader for the Archos. I hope that someone will make a stand alone program that will work. Remember DRM protected ebooks like those used on ebook readers like the kindle will not work, but there is a ton of content for free available in .pdf format.

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.

I'm trying to use the Sony NWZ A818 with Amazon Unbox and I'm not having any luck. Amazon's help text says "*most* plays for sure devices work for Unbox. See our list of supported devices"... and the Sony doesn't appear on this list. I'd love to hear a definitive answer on this but for those of you who are expecting Unbox to work - I don't think it will. Regardless, it's a great player - incredible audio, beautiful screen & device, 100% dependable. I recommend it!

I have the Archos 7.It's fantastic!It reads Epub, PDF, Kindle etc..... and page changes are FAST.Best of all, it's colour, so it's a fantastic comic reader too.As well as a video player (excellent quality) it goes on the web effortlessly.Kindle? - Sony book reader? - eat your heart out!

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

You should be able to stream Amazon video if you access it using Chrome browser. Otherwise, try sideloading Adobe flash version that's a generation older. That has worked with my Android tablets.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.
