Is Archos the company to finally do Android tablets right?
Archos’ recent announcement of its new G9 tablets came as a shock. If you told me there would be an Android 3.1 tablet with a 250GB hard drive, 720p front-facing camera, a 1.5 Ghz dual-core processor and more for $279, I would have called you naive.

Arnova 7 enters the 7-inch tablet market for $99
When we think of budget tablets, we tend to think of $349 devices such as the Vizio tablet, The Acer Iconia Tab or to a lesser extent, the Impression 10. Archos has shattered our vision of budget tablets by revealing the pricing for the Arnova 7. At only $99, this 7-inch tablet could go over well with those who aren’t too much into the latest technology.
