More Android based Archos tablets

Archos Tablets

Archos CEO Henri Crohas recently announced in a press conference Archos’ intentions to release a slew of tablet based devices running Google Android. In the image to the right, a quick gander led me to believe that Archos have excellent style, branding and design continuity going on there, but it became clear that each tablet you see before you is the same image, adjusted in size to represent the different tablet screen sizes.

The tablet sizes will range from 3” to 10” whereby the latter will sport 800MHz and 1GHz ARM Cortex-based chips. According to our sources, at least one of the tablets will offer 3D acceleration and a multi-touch screen. Just like the screen sizes, there is a range in price too. The cheapest tablet (and also most likely to be the smallest), which set you back only $100, while the more expensive will cost $350

At the moment, these devices are some way of production. However, for further information on rumored specifications, visit our older posts of the Archos tablet rumor-mill.

No. This is Snapdragon 200 (Cortex A5 cores).

Ummm… why bother. Designing pre-obsoleted phones seems like a waste of time. I didn’t even know that Jellybean could run on a HVGA display. Certainly I DO know that I didn’t want know that it could, nor do I ever want to try it that way. Oops, it’s not even running Jellybean, it’s running ICS. Even the 2nd tier Chinese manufactures are ALL running Jellybean now, how come Archos is so incompetent? And where’s the LTE support?

They should be pushing the state of the art, highest speed, highest resolution, best features. Then later, they can continue to sell the obsolete devices at a discount when they come put with next years device.

This is Apple’s model. And one of the things that they do well.

The reporting is unclear also. Are those subsidized or unsubsidized prices? And yes they ARE half-bad. Actually, much worse than being bad (which would have at least shown some attempt at original thinking) they are 3 years LATE! Old and obsolete, horribly out of date from the start, and targeted to sell to uninformed consumers.

I feel exploited, even just having listened to their product offering, and I want the time back that I used thinking about it.

  Just shut up richfag. Some people don’t need a f**king expensive state of the art phone. They just need something that works properly, and doesn’t cost a ton of money because of a bucket of useless features.

  Sounds like these phones are for mature adults. Only school kids waste their money on the latest models. They end up holding them all day as status symbols of their immaturity with no idea as to what they can do.
