expertreviews‘s review Edit

Once we fixed its limitations we enjoyed using the Archos 32, but we're sure better Android media players will be out soon.

As a media player, the Archos 32 Internet Tablet could be a good traveling companion on the cheap if you don't already own an iPod Touch or a smartphone, but if you're looking for smartphone-quality Web surfing and apps, or if you want to read text material on its small screen, you will be disappointed.

The Archos 32 Internet Tablet is a good choice as a music and video companion, but poor screen resolution makes web browsing and other text-intensive tasks hard on the eyes.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

Overall Archos packs an impressive range of features into an attractive, slimline device, and providing you’d expect to make good use of the flexibility on offer here it’s a nice alternative to an expensive mobile phone. The Archos 32 may have a fairly limited market when you consider the range of current mobiles that can do all of this and more, but as a reasonably priced standalone device there’s plenty of fun to be had for those who don’t want to shell out a lot on an expensive phone.

As experience has shown, Android wasn’t built for tablets, so it’s fortunate that the Archos 32 Internet Tablet is a tablet in name only. As an iPod touch-like media player, it falls short of Apple’s level of slickness, but its excellent format support, and its low, low price, let it get away with that.

Engadget‘s review Edit

As we mentioned at the get-go there are a few things that perturb us about the Archos 32 – its mushy, glossy screen, poor camera placement, lack of a speaker, and the missing Android Market are all up there -- but we still found the experience of using the Android PMP or tablet, call it what you will, to be rather enjoyable. If you're looking for a gadget with a smaller screen for playing music, watching videos and occasionally surfing the web the Archos 32 is a fine choice. Of course, for $80 more you can grab an $229 8GB iPod Touch, which has none of those application, screen or camera issues. Is it worth the extra cash? Hey, we can't answer everything for you!

Digital Trends‘s review Edit

There is no reason to delve any deeper into the Archos 32. You can’t listen to music on it. Whether this sound reproduction flaw extends to Archos’ other “Internet tablets” I don’t know, but caveat emptor. But even if other functions performed moderately well – and the opposite is true – if you can’t hear the music, this tiny tablet is totally useless.

This tiny Android tablet has some good features, but the highlights fail to outweigh the shortcomings of this finicky device.

Liliputing‘s review Edit

The Archos 32 is a pretty good portable media player — if you’re cool with a device that has a 3.2 inch, 400 x 240 pixel display, no speaker, and very few physical buttons. The internet tablet was able to handle most audio and video files I threw at it, and they looked pretty good on the little screen. I also really like the custom music and video software and widgets that Archos developed for its newest Android devices.

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit

For $149, the Archos 32 is a pretty good deal, so long as you're willing to live with some trade-offs. It's a solid portable media player that can also surf the web and access (some) Android apps. We especially like the wide range of supported audio and video formats. You just have to be willing to put up with a lackluster touch keyboard and a resistive display that kicks back reflections. Overall, we prefer the new iPod nano at this price because of its more accurate and crisper capacitive display--despite its much smaller size--and better overall design. But the Archos 32 is worth a look if you want more functionality.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The Archos 32 tablet offers many of the core features of Android 2.2 at an attractive price, but its keyboard is too impractical to rely on as a productivity tool, and the Archos-managed app store limits the device's overall potential.
