Archos 101 Android Tablet lands in November

A total of five (5) new Android tablets will be released by Archos in the Philippines (and the rest of Asia) by the first week of November with the Archos 101 as the flagship model.

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
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
Price: Php19,990

If the 10.1″ Archos 101 is too big for you, the Archos 70 is the smaller, 7″ model with the same specs but cheaper price.

Archos 70
7″ display @ 800×480 pixel capacitive screen
1GHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU
720p HD video playback
VGA camera
HDMI, USB ports
8GB Flash or 250GB HDD model
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
Archos 70 250GB price: Php16,990
Archos 70 8GB price: Php15,490

This one looks to have much better specs than the Cherry Mobile Superion at a cheaper price. Three other smaller Android tablets will be available as well with specs and photos here.

Archos 43 16GB – Php12,990
Archos 32 8GB – Php8,490
Archos 28 8GB – Php6,490

All models will run Android Froyo 2.2, the reason the release was delayed by a month (as Archos upgraded the tablets from 2.1 before they released it).

The listed prices above are still tentative until they finally arrive but expect them to be near these price points. Archos PH is accepting reservations. Just email [email protected].

    Nearly all of what you assert happens to be astonishingly accurate and that makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light previously. This piece really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this particular topic goes. But there is 1 factor I am not necessarily too cozy with so while I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of your issue, allow me see exactly what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Nicely done.

    @Wendy C Archos 5 is what i have, but that is the older model. Based on the previous blogs os Yugatech, the Gen8 series are the new model. And the counterpart of Archos 5 is Archos 43, Archos 7 is Archos 70. Personally, I would go for Archos 70 because it is already using capacitive touchscreen.

    @Chu: thank you for your response :) ive read a lot of reviews, ngdadalawang isip na tuloy ako wat to choose between archos 5 & 70. they said archos 5 is still better than archos 70..

    @Wendy C: my friend made a pre-order at s****@****.***. No down payment daw. First week of december daw ang release and datin.

    @Bullet Valencia: me and my friend also went to v-mall, and was also informed about that. We found our that they were referring to Archos 7 Home Tablet which is the older one… I guess the confusion start with the Archos 7 and Archos 7″0″.

    @Chu: Ah! Ok I get it now, thanks for that clarification. P20k seems fair then for the 16GB version.

  14. Avatar for Chu Chu says:

    @Ian I guess the USD300 and 300 euro price tag for Archos 101 is for the 8gb model. I heard the P19,990 is for the 16gb.

  15. Avatar for Ian Ian says:

    P19,990 for the Archos 101? A little steep considering it retails for $299 in the US. Even with tax, the converted price would still be under P15,000.

    Hope that Archos can bring the price down when its officially launched.

    I’d be ready to buy one if they do get the price to a more competetive level.
