Installing firefox on a new Archos 101 internet tablet

I just bought this new Archos 101 internet tablet. I would like to install firefox on it so that it will assist me in reading some of the pdf.files i receive.according to your site, my unit is supported. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.

Hi,

You should be able to launch the Android Market app from your tablet, then search for 'Firefox' and click the Install button to start the download.

I have tried and tried. Found the Android market app and have tried to install many times. The popup. Window says I do not have any "Android phones" connected with my account. The only thing I have is the Android Tablet. I am begining to think buying the tablet was a mistake. Please help if you can. Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for this additional information. You can try using the Android browser to download Firefox directly from this FTP site: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platform/Android#Download_...

Not work

This method won't enable automatic updates, but might help you get it going.

Thank you, I will give it a try once I get time at a terminal. I am a truck driver and want to be able to use my tablet for work too. Firefox will help me to be able to read and see load info and paystubs. Thank you I will try it when I can stop.

Hmm Android 2.2, Cortex A8 at 1 GHz cpu, but it only has 256MB of RAM I believe when 512MB is the min recommended.

Will Tablets Kill the PC Star?

By TIERNAN RAY | MORE ARTICLES BY AUTHOR

THE AGE OF THE TABLET COMPUTER is upon us, and Wall Street stepped up its efforts this week to gauge just how destructive the trend will be to the traditional personal-computer market.

Computer-industry observers have been warning for months now that tablets are primed to "crowd out," or cannibalize, personal-computer sales because they can perform a lot of the same tasks but are cheaper and fit better with an on-the-go lifestyle.

The industry has only a few of the slate-style computers on offer at the moment, most prominently Apple's (ticker: AAPL) iPad and Samsung Electronics' (A005930.Korea) Galaxy Tab.

But dozens of companies have announced or are expected to release tablet computers of one sort or another in the coming months, ranging from Archos (JXR.France), a maker of chunky, brick-like portable video players, to ViewSonic, a maker of computer monitors.

The CEO of Acer (2353.Taiwan), currently No. 2 in PC sales, was quoted on Friday boasting the company will dominate tablet sales a couple of years from now.

And so the Street has been busy assembling models: On Monday, Citigroup's team of analysts covering computers, software and semiconductors put out a report saying there will be 35 million tablet computers sold in 2011, with Apple's iPad accounting for three quarters of the total, compared with almost 400 million PCs sold.

While the tablet sales look small by comparison, those 35 million sales will eliminate about 11 million PC sales that normally would be expected next year, enough to reduce the PC's sales-growth rate to 9% next year from an original 12% estimate, the Citi team said.

But Citi's estimates may be too kind to the PC. Craig Berger, who follows Intel (INTC) for FBR Capital Markets, gave a more aggressive estimate on Monday, with 40 million tablets sold by Apple next year and 30 million by the rest of the pack.

Berger warns that the economics of tablet computing are "not good for PCs," with one PC sale lost for every 2.5 tablets sold.

And even Berger's numbers may be too low: On Tuesday, a report by the trade magazine DigiTimes said Apple's manufacturer for iPads, Foxconn Electronics, was expanding capacity in China to produce up to 70 million iPads a year.

A report by the same publication on Wednesday predicted that, on top of Apple's output, up to 30 million tablet computers would be shipped next year by other manufacturers.

While it's debatable how much each tablet sale steals from what would be a PC purchase, there's no arguing with numbers that have shown a drastic drop-off in personal-computer sales in the third quarter from the first two quarters of the year.

Gartner last month reported that third-quarter sales of laptop computers to consumers was "the weakest in the last several years."

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) gave the latest evidence of the slowing this week, saying laptop revenue fell 3% in the quarter from a year earlier, while overall consumer revenue was off 10%.

However many tablets may be sold, we do know this: The age of the tablet is playing havoc with profit margins, essentially because it represents a challenge to the fat profit margins of computing from the razor-thin margins of consumer electronics.

Apple stock was whacked last month when the company delivered a disappointing gross profit margin of 36.9%, down from 41.8% a year earlier and below the Street's expectation of about 38%. Apple forecast December-quarter margins to decline further, to 36%.

Research In Motion (RIMM), maker of the BlackBerry, is expected to go head-to-head with Apple come January with its PlayBook tablet. Its second-quarter report on Sept. 16 was better than expected, and so was the forecast for the third quater, but the company said gross profit will dip to 42%, down from 44.5% in the second quarter.

Expect to hear much more in coming months about the erosion of profits in tech as tablets crammed with features sell at increasingly low prices.

For computer makers, falling profitability means you'd better have a pretty good strategy to make up the profit on volume, or in sales of something else.

Apple will be fine: It can use the iPad to pull in buyers of plain old PCs, and as well as subscriptions to its online service, MobileMe. Google (GOOG), too, will be just fine, selling ads as its Android operating system spreads across the world on non-iPad tablets.

RIM's strategy seems less certain. By pushing a unique tablet operating system for the PlayBook, the company seems to be downplaying its traditional strength, the network it controls, instead falling into the trap of playing the game on Apple's terms—software.

As for Intel, its fortunes seem linked to new chips with supposedly "revolutionary" battery performance, just perfect for tablet computing. But those parts won't show up until 2012, Citigroup's analysts wrote last week.

It's not all bad for plain old computing, though. At some point, all these gadgets will promote sales of traditional PCs to manage their use in homes and offices, as well as servers to house all the content delivered to them.

KUDOS TO THE TEAM that's kept Hewlett-Packard going: Catherine Lesjak, who's been serving as interim CEO since the departure of Mark Hurd under the cloud of impropriety in August, led the company to better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results. On Monday's conference call, she shared the stage with Ann Livermore, head of HP's team that sells to large corporations. The 25% rise in revenue by that unit was key to the quarter.

You would think that HP might be inclined to anoint these two as a kind of Dynamic Duo, perhaps co-CEOs, given the dearth of women in the highest ranks of tech, and given some concerns about incoming CEO Leo Apothekar, who presided over a not particularly memorable period at German software giant SAP (SAP).

But analysts seemed inclined to hope for the best with Apothekar following his debut on the conference call.

He has said the right things so far, talking about raising pay at HP, boosting investment in R&D and focusing the company more on software than hardware, which is, after all, where the profits are headed these days. It will be interesting to see Apothekar's vision unfold in the months ahead.

HTC ANNOUNCES "FIRST" WIMAX PHONE

HTC and Russian carrier Yota have announced a Windows Mobile phone billed as "the world's first integrated GSM/WiMAX handset." The HTC MAX 4G includes a 3.8-inch 800 x 480 display, tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM, WiMAX, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a five megapixel camera, according to the companies.

Word of the device was first leaked last month on enthusiast websites, when the phone was said to be called the HTC T8290. Branding the device the HTC MAX 4G, Moscow-based Yota now says the device will be available to Russian customers on Nov. 26.

The HTC MAX 4G includes tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM connectivity and a SIM card, allowing users to make calls on any Russian carrier, says Yota. But for high-speed data networking, the device switches to Yota's WiMAX network, using frequencies between 2.5 and 2.7GHz. Touting operation up to 10Mbps, the company adds that calls from one WiMAX user to another will employ VoIP.

Apart from its wide area networking savvy, the HTC MAX 4G includes 802.11b/g WLAN capabilities, Bluetooth 2.0, and GPS. No information was provided on whether the GPS receiver is compatible with Russia's own GLONASS (global navigation satellite system) service, however.

According to HTC, the MAX 4G employs a 528MHz Qualcomm ESM7206A processor. While we've been unable to find any specifics about this CPU, the ESM7206A likely uses the ARM11 core already found on many of the chipmaker's other mobile phone processors. The MAX 4 is cited as including 288MB of RAM, a 256MB ROM, an additional 8GB of flash storage, and a microSD expansion slot.
