We've told you about the Archos 7 Home tablet and the company's vision of offering a cheap Android Tablet for media consumption and Internet browsing in past. We're talking about the 180-200$ mark here, a much more affordable price point for consumers who see tablets as a complementary device for home use, not as a replacement for anything (as Apple hopes those gadgets will become).We're happy to announce that the Archos 7 Home Tablet has reached FCC, the final step before shipping to consum...

Now that the iPad is just around the corner with shipping of preorders already started yesterday it seems madness that any other producer tries to release its own tablet at the same time, in a pathetic attempt to steal the thunder from Apple. Well, it seems that someone is fullish enough, and maybe that's because they're from France (ha ha, joke). It's about Archos and their Archos 7 Internet tablet which we've presented a few weeks ago when it surfaced at CeBIT.What strikes me, besides the ...

We've reviewed the Archos 9 Tablet running Windows 7 Started edition a few weeks ago and the general conclusion was that the 1.1 GHz Atom CPU was not powerful enough to get a smooth user interaction. It seems that Archos took this thought into consideration as it just recently bumped the CPU found inside the Archos 9 to 1.2 GHz via the Atom Z515 chip.Now, don't expect major changes, as the overall speed increase is under 10%, but expect it to run a little smooth, and if you turn down some of...

As promised, Archos has launched at Cebit his so called home tablets, Archos 7 and Archos 8, which distinctive price characteristics that puts them in the affordable range. Of course there ware compromises to be made, so some of you could be disappointed because they perform pretty slow (cheap CPUs), but it all depends on how you balance price and performance in your own value system.Archos 7 Home Tablet is a 7 inch 800x480 screen tablet, running Android powered by 600MHz ARM9-based Rockchip...

CES is over, Mobile World Congress is over, the next IT show on schedule is CeBIT 2010, held at Hanovra in Germany. Some companies have already announced or hinted at the products they will launch there. Archos is one of them and announced through their PR company that they're gonna showcase two tablets there, one possibly the Archos 7 Android tablet, a bigger version of the already selling Archos 5 and a bigger one, a real mystery as there's not one bit of official info here about it, but peopl...

The Archos 9 tablet, which we've presented a few times here at All Touch Tablet.com is one of the great examples on how you can ruin a perfectly good idea with bad engineering. So, let's see the basic idea and dissect it: build a slim slate type tablet, running a fully fledged Operating System that can run a few hours with WiFi on. All simple at this point. Let's now see what went wrong.First to build a slim device you need a small battery, so you need a low power CPU which is always slow, n...

Archos is one manufacturer known for its multimedia players (MP3, MP4 and PMP) but they also have a line of products that resemble PCs as configuration. Now that tablets are the trend it seems normal for Archos to release slate type devices. They have the Archos 7 (a 7 inch tablet) running a proprietary version of Linux, but there are rumors about an Android powered Archos 7 tablet that will cost just 180 EUROS (approximately 250$).The specs are still not officially announced, but rumors say...

If you're not convinced by JooJoo (former Crunchpad) as a touch tablet because it's not really a fully capable computer, plus it costs too much for the lack of features there's always the option to buy a PC tablet from Archos, like the Archos 9 PC Tablet (which we've presented here) which gives you a normal computer (without the keyboard) at Amazon.Don't expect too much from it as in it's core we have  an Intel Atom CPU running at 1.1 GHz, but I guess this is enough for basic browsing, off...

Archos is just one of those manufacturers that want to innovate and always stick to their principles. One of the results is the Archos 5 Internet Tablet running Android OS. The screen is bigger than an Android Phone so you'll be able to do some real browsing and get things done (entertainment that is for this case, and a few touches of office work).But let's see what powers the Archos 5 Android Internet tablet:4.8 inch LCD screen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution ARM Cortex A8 800 MHz ...

As Windows 7 was released yesterday, all manufacturers rushed to launch a bunch of products with the new OS. You all know that Windows 7 comes with native touchscreen support, so it's no wonder that a few touchtablets hit the market, one of them being the Archos 9 PCTablet. From specs you soon realize you got a disguised netbook with no hardware keyboard, as we have a 8.9 inch resistive touch screen and an Intel Atom CPU Z510 at 1.1GHz.[caption id="attachment_359" align="aligncenter" width="...
