So we got the most popular variant of the Archos Android tablets this year, the Archos 70. There's a limited number of units available locally and release has been delayed twice but the local Archos distributor was able to get us a review unit. Having tried the bigger Archos 101, I must admit that the Archos 70 looks sleeker, thinner (much thinner than the Galaxy Tab or the Cherry Mobile Superion) and lighter. I think it's just the right size for an internet tablet. The only available units ready for this month would be the 8GB Archos 70 while the 250GB variant will be available by January. Although update is available via OTA, Archos recommends downloading the full update to a PC and then transfer via USB before upgrading. Will post my full review of the Archos 70 soon. So we finally got our hands on the new Android tablet of Archos. Read more in our articles including "Archos 70 unboxed, in the flesh!" and "Archos 101 in the flesh, first impressions".
