#archos android

So we finally got our hands on the new Android tablet of Archos. First up is the flagship model, the Archos 101. For only Php19,990, you get a 10.1" capacitive touch screen display running Android 2.1 (upgraded to 2.2 Froyo before it hits the stores) on a 1GHz chip with 16GB storage. Archos 101 10.1 inch display @ 1024×600 pixel capacitive screen 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU 16GB internal storage 720p HD video playback VGA camera HDMI port microUSB port USB port WiFi 802.11 b/g/n Bluetooth 2.1 The capacitive screen is now more responsive and the system feels much faster than the old versions we reviewed here. Compared to the previous tablet of Archos, the Archos 101 is thinner and lighter for its size. There's no Android Market pre-installed here (they'll probably fix that on the Froyo 2.2 upgrade or maybe there's a hack for that?) but the unit has an AppsLib which is also an apps directory/repository. All-in-all, it's a great device and I hope they finish the Froyo update, add the Android Market and do some bug fixes before finally releasing it out to the market. Just been informed by the local distributor of Archos that the launching of all 5 Android tablets and media players have been pushed back to first week of December.
