The most exciting part of this release is this marks the first official Honeycomb tablet to sell at under £200. It also has the Google apps and Market which is a first for Archos as well, there previous tablets used the “Appslib” market which was not much fun. Beware this is the lower spec model as there is a “turbo” model in the pipeline which has more storage and a faster processor, but will cost more. The Archos site does not say how long you will have to wait for delivery, so let us know if you go for one of these and how long the advise for delivery. Below is the link to the Archos store.
If only it had 1gb Ram
Newer Archos again!
The small French company have never made a functional tablet. NEVER! You got endless update that just makes more bugs, and it will never works as they describeI if you want a tablet thats works from begining then go and buy from another company. Archos are just toy for cryzy Nerds , not for people that looking for a serious and full functional tablet…
