Man I hate stupid people! All of the negative reviews for this product are from dumb ass people that both the old generation unit and are posting bad reviews on the new generation's listing. Not to mention about half of those are related to people not realizing that you had to buy accessories to make a certain feature work. Of course they don't do their research and then blame the product for their stupidity.

I've all but given up on reading internet reviews from individuals for the reasons you listed and because they only seem to fall into 2 categories: 1 star or 5 star.

Archos website says this about the camera. "Compatible with ARCHOS 5 and 5G models only".


I've only heard bad things about the android model. Bugs and etc but I haven't gotten to fart with one. So no review from me.


I keep the device in my tank bag or in my jacket, so its not getting jerked around like it would if it was mounted to the bike.


It's probably better that way... I'd be looking at the screen and crash!!! I haven't found a negative review yet...other than some old biddy that couldn't figure out the Android interface.

That looks a lot like my Garmin 855 update history... Oh well, it's working good now.

I say go for it, but I'm not sure if the cam will work with the internet tablet one. I've looked all over the site and cant figure what model the 5G is.

They have a camera on the accessory page and if I were guessing, I'd guess that the "G" stood for Google-as in Android.

When I read internet reviews or even hear reviews in person, I always toss the "Its awsome!!!" and "Its a piece of shit" reviews unless they follow it up with a reason. You can still find good reviews you just need to do a little more searching.
