Legitimate question: Can I play my PC version of minecraft on this?


I doubt it. Not unless someone somehow gets windows running on the thing.

:( Alas, I thought I found my solution, thanks for the information :)

Never played minecraft so have no idea what the differences are.



I have a Transformer Prime with a keyboard dock which is a Tegra 3 and I plug my dual shock or 360 pad into it sometimes to mess around and the battery lasts a pretty long time so I guess I don't need this :P



I'm going to say it now, I think that this thing will disappoint. There really has to be a catch to this, because the screenshot of the games aren't exactly that graphically intensive anyway. They're just HD, which isn't exactly a huge feat.

edit: Also, where is the battery life?  I don't see it mentioned.

There are quite a few large ones, but I only want the PC version for the mods tbh :/

Thanks for the input though :)



I love that compnies still feed the console graveyard.

I love reading about failed consoles, and I always think that times have changed and I will never get to experience it. But every now and then, these things show up :D



I LOVE ICELAND!

Just because these lower end tablets don't sell at iPad/Samsung/Nexus levels, doesn't mean it was a failure for the company.

ARCHOS makes quite a few tablets and they surely make profits for them. With the strong gaming approach likely very low cost... this could sell very well.



a 7 inch screen? That thing would be a monster to hold

Is it a tablet or a console?
