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.
We previously reported that the units will be ready by November. The delay is primarily due to their last-minute effort to have all units upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo.

We’ve also been given an update as to the final suggested retail price of the units. See table below for pricing schedule:
We’ve also been informed that there will be limited units to be shipped in so those who are decided to get one should make a no-down-payment reservations (just email sales@archosph.com).
We’ll be getting a first hands-on with the Archos 101 later today so watch out for that too.
Hi Can you please reserve 1 for me..
Archos 70 250gb .. thanks
i purchased the a70 it 8gb last Nov. 6 in Singapore. very impressive device indeed. i’m a loyal archos user. every pmp i’ve owned was an archos.
@ Logan123
i have not tried using skype or ym. the front camera is for video calls via fring. personally tested it and it works.
@ payaman
overall system speed is very impressive. kahit 256mb sya, i never noticed any hang-ups. i recommend getting the 8gb flash version. i used to own a generation5 a5 imt (250gb, hhd based). flash based unit are really something, faster to boot, gives you better peace of mind because of no moving parts and only sips on your unit’s battery instead of slurping it!
thanks karlo.
kahapon nabaliw naman ako sa galaxy tab! hahaha
i originally want an android phone and a tablet, then yesterday i suddenly thought of having galaxy tab to have it 2 in 1. kaso nakita ko yun galaxy tab sa glorietta, medyo malaki, mahirap sya gamitin as a PHONE..ayun, balik ako sa archos70. hehe
karlo, pwede bang saksakan ng usb thumb drive yang a70?
256MB is good enough RAM as long as you dont have too many apps installed and running at the same time. With Froyo, you can install apps at the SD card. What I do is save the apk (installer) file on my SD card and install those non-frequent apps only when needed.
the UI is like a stock android. archos didn’t put a lot of additional layer on top of it.
@payaman
you can use the USB as host, ie for any plug and play device. Ive tested it with flash drives, mouse and a wireless keyboard.
@logan123
YM and skype for android doesnt have video calling (yet). Try Fring instead.
wow! i’m getting more and more excited for my a70 to come! come come come to papa! hehehe
pls recommend a good forum/blog site for archos70 tips/tweaks/recommended apps.
thanks.

check the stores at Funan. There’s at least 3-4 stores selling them. The standard price for the Archos 101 8GB is SGD 499 and SGD 599 for the 16GB version. You can bargain as low as SGD 580 for the 16GB. And best of all, you get GST refund at the airport!
Archos philipines confirmed that archos 101 will be available @ the 3rd week of December..
