Feverhost Sorry to hear you had a similiar experience with your tablet. Do you have a SD card in the tablet before you try to connect it to the computer? I read on a site that you have to have an SD card in the tablet in order for the computer to see it. Might try that. Since it was so misrepresented, are you going to keep it?

moxiebee: Yep I have an 8GB for it.
I am going to keep it, although there was misrepresentation of the specs.. it works for me. I also do not want to go through the hassle of sending this back, getting a refund, or another tablet. I'm afraid that it will take too many weeks.
If anything.. in 4 months i'll be selling some of my tablets, and purchasing a higher end tablet. Looking at some 8" or 10" multi-touch capacitive tablets 1Ghz, 512MB or 1GB RAM tablets in the $300 - $400 range.

NightLord: xaueious had me install/run ASI... which shows that this tablet runs API level 7, which is Android 2.1 - Android API Levels | Android Developers
Also the processor is 600Mhz, clocking in at 622Mhz - Bogomips 311 = real clockspeed of 622MHz on ARM9: BogoMips - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia see ARM9
It's still a nice tablet... I personally like it, which is all that matters. Although it was sold with incorrect specifications. It's 600Mhz, not 800Mhz, it's truly running Android 2.1, not 2.1, and (my camera) is .3MP not 1.3MP.

Well it was kinda strange that the built in apk kanager showed version 2.1 for all of the system apps, but i guess we have an answer for that now 
Anyways, I wouldnt blame NS for the misrepresentation of the specs, as this tab is advertised with similar specs on other sites too (see one for eg: http://www.wholesaleonepiece.com/ap...a_p2056.html?zenid=ug4gapm9alv0m74pj24o9dgb70 - although cpu speed is at least listed here correctly), I think the producer is to blame here. Note that NS lists it as a 2GB while its 4GB, and I realy dont think its a deliberate lie.
BTW my biggest problem is that context menus are not working in the browser (nor in 3rd party browsers for that matter). Any workarounds for that?

The firmware was like that from the factory. Resellers typically do not bother to do things like that.
As for the browser not working, you can either pray for a firmware update, or repack your own update.img based on the Archos 7 HT v2 and hope for the best: Dump your Home Tablet rom and create a custom rom - Wiki.ArchosFans.com

This is why I'd like to know who produces this tablet, maybe I could contact them for a new firmware. The fw on the tablet is dated 20101202, so maybe they have something newer, if the tablet is still being produced.
Do you happen to have any idea?
