    The Archos 5 Internet Tablet gets access to Android Market’s paid apps

    Posted on April 27, 2010 | No Comments
    The Archos 5 Internet Tablet just got a bit cooler. It finally has access to paid apps from the Android Market thanks to the latest firmware. This solves one of the biggest gripes we've heard about the small Android tablets. Previsously users could only download the free Android apps, not the preimum apps that cost something. This is actually a significant move in the Android tablet market, a trend we hope is followed by others.

    The iPad isn't the only upcoming slate computer. Archos has the 7 Home Tablet coming real soon as well. The 7-inch Android tablet doesn't have an official release date as of yet, but a German retailer states that it will be shipping in a week. Why the iPad launches on April 3rd? Coincidence? We think not.

    The Archos 9 PC Tablet makes room for the Atom Z515 CPU

    Isn't it grand when companies somewhat silently update their products with new hardware but keeps the previous price. That's just what Archos did with the 9 PC Tablet. Overnight it went from the Intel Atom Z510 1.1GHz CPU to the Z515 1.2GHz Atom with Hyper-Threading and Intel Burst Performance Technology. It's a nice little spec bump, actually.

    Archos has tablets too, you guys. Let's not forget about Archos. Whether or not the company purposely let details of the 7-inch "ARCHOS 7 Android" tablet slip out on a product page of an online retailer in the UK (that page has now been removed), you've got to admit that the timing is interesting.

  • Info about the Archos Phone Tablet emerges

    Info about the Archos Phone Tablet emerges

    Posted on September 15, 2009 | No Comments
    Details are kind of lacking at this point, but so far the Archos Phone Tablet is shaping up nicely. It should rock Android on a 4.3-inch touchscreen with a 854x480 resolution, 1GHz ARM CPU, HSDPA, and will measure in at only 10mm. The strange thing is that the phone is somewhat large considering the iPhone has a 3.5-inch screen and so we're curious about how Archos is going to market this bugger.

    The Archos 2 Vision doesn’t look that great in person

    Posted on August 21, 2009 | No Comments
    A product shot appeared a few days ago of the Archos 2 Vision. It looked nice. But the French site ArchosLounge.net recently got some face time with the upcoming PMP and, well, it doesn't look that great anymore. The original press shot looked slick and smooth, but this hands-on shot makes it looks like a no-name Chinese player. It's an Archos so it probably runs great, but I hope I'm not the only one disappointed with the design.
