We can probably safely assume at this point that tablets are here to stay. At least for awhile. And considering the effort that Archos has already put into the Android-based “tablet” market, there’s no surprise here that they’ve just pulled the curtain off five (5!) brand new tablet devices, all featuring Google’s mobile Operating System. Ranging in sizes and prices, as well as plenty of Archos-based “improvements” to the User Interface, meet the family of new Archos tablets.
The Archos 28 is the bottom of the bunch, featuring a 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen, with a resolution of 320×240. It has 4GB of internal storage out of the box, and we’re thinking that this is meant more to be a PMP, and not a tablet per se, as it has the size and feature set to prove a more confident combatant in this market. It does feature integrated WiFi, and it has a music application that was created by Arhchos, so it shouldn’t be as boring as the standard Android version. It doesn’t have any access to the Android Market, but Archos has you covered with the AppsLib, which will give you access to applications. There’s an accelerometer, and an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor under the hood. This little guy will be available at the end of September for about $99.99.
Next up, the Archos 32. As the title suggests, of which you probably caught on already, this guy has a 3.2-inch touchscreen display. There’s 8GB of internal memory tucked away inside, and there’s even a camera planted on the back of the device, which has the ability to record video at 720p. There’s also a composite port at the bottom, which means you’ll be able to hook up a TV. This version will be available in mid-September, and it will cost you $149.99.
It’s when we get to the Archos 43 that things get interesting. Featuring a 4.3-inch (resistive) touchscreen, there’s an accelerometer inside, as well as a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, making sure that you keep ticking along at a nice pace. The device is ony .35-inches thick, so it should be slim enough to hide in your pocket without much complaint. When the Archos 43 ships, which will be in mid-October, it will feature Android 2.2, and be able to record 720p video with the camera on the back. It will cost you $199 when it does hit store shelves.
The Archos 70 features a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, and it will ship with Android 2.2 in mid-October. It has a smaller form factor than the previously released Archos Home Tablet 7, which should mean that it attracts plenty of eyes. There’s going to be some pre-loaded video chat applications on the device as well, as there’s a front-facing VGA camera. There isn’t, however, a camera on the back. There’s a USB port, as well as a mini-HDMI port. The Archos 70 will run you $274.99.
The Archos 101 is when we really get into the tablet market. It features a 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen display, and has a frame that’s only .5-inches thick. There’s a 1GHz processor under the hood, and it also has the ability to play a 720p HD video without a problem. There’s a front-facing VGA camera, and USB and HDMI ports. It is due out in mid-October, too, and it will cost you $300 to get your hands on it.
