Well, it’s that time again. I got something to blargh about. Keeping it short and to the point: I recently bought a shiny new Archos Cesium 80 tablet with Windows 8.1. All very nice, being able to run w32 apps without any problem. But there’s one bottleneck: it only has 16GB of available disk space.… Continue reading ARCHOS Cesium 80 — support?!

The Apple and the Ampere
A few days ago, I got a hold on a cheap generic Android ‘gaming’ tablet made by TomTec. I got it without a charger and it is sold for around 100$ and features Android 4.0. The problem with this tablet is that it requires a minimum of 2.1A to charge, without even using it. I… Continue reading The Apple and the Ampere
