The Archos G9 Android 3.2 Honeycomb tablet is placed to take the market by storm in an ultra good deal tag of just $299. Likely to be available for order before this month expires, if you are seeking an Android Honeycomb tablet then we suggest hanging in it and awaiting this budget option to roll out.
Basically we weren’t able to get our hands on one to review just yet, if it’s something likes its predecessors the Archos 101, then we’ve got high hopes for it.

In addition to Android Honeycomb and a dual-core processor, the Archos G9 offers some unique add-ons. Take for instance a 3G stick for $69 which allows your Archos G9 to utilize 3G data. Then there is the 250GB storage option ($369), the only one we’ve seen made for a Honeycomb tablet. And at $369, it is still cheaper than most Honeycomb tablets out there as well as the $499 base iPad 2 model.

The base model will be available from Archos.com on September 20 and on September 30 at a variety of retailers including HH Gregg, Amazon, Newegg, Tiger Direct, Brandsmart, and Electronic Express.

Archos Arnova 7 Android tablet to store for $99

Archos is expected to produce a new line of tablets at a meeting on June 23rd, however the company’s budget line of Arnova tablets already received an update last week when Archos introduced the Arnova 7 and Arnova 84. There’s one key distinction between these tablets and the high quality devices coming from companies for example Samsung, Toshiba, and HTC: The Arnova goods are dirt cheap.

Archos produced official product pages for the new tablets recently, and the tag-line for the Arnova 7 is that “a 7 inch tablet for $99 is possible.”

The tablet isn’t a powerhouse at all. But it doesn’t look all that bad on paper. For $99 you’ll get a 7 inch, 800 x 480 pixel resistive touch screen display, Google Android 2.2, and 4GB of flash storage space. The tablet can handle H.264 movies with resolutions up to 720p in addition to MPEG-4 and Real Video formats.

Archos Arnova 7

The Arnova 7 features a USB port, microSDHC card slot and 802.11b/g WiFi. The tablet measures 7.6¨ x 4.7¨ x 0.5¨ and weighs just 12 ounces.
The goods page doesn’t mention the CPU, but it’s probably safe to say that the Arnova 7 doesn’t have a bleeding edge dual core chip. But when you’re just looking for a cheap tablet for surfing the web, reading eBooks, watching videos, or playing a few games it might be adequate.

Android applications generally aren’t designed for resistive touchscreens, since they perform best with fingertip input rather than fingernail or stylus input. But Archos has a tendency to use decent resistive touch panels that offer a passable, if not stellar user experience, so I’ll reserve final judgement on the Arnova 7 until I are able to check it out personally.

There’s not sure on US pricing for the Arnova 84 yet, but this model features an 8.4 inch, 800 x 600 pixel screen, Android 2.1, and other storage, connectivity, and media capabilities. The Arnova 84 measures 8.3¨ x 6.3¨ x 0.39¨ and weighs 1.3 pounds.

These models should be available in June 2011 at the following retailers:
- UK: Ekab 8, Comet , Baltine, AMP3, Beaumex, ASDA and Micro P.
- Germany: MediaMark, Saturn, EP, Expert, Karstadt, Conrad, amazon and MSH.
- Benelux: PhotoHall, MediaMarkt, Saturn, Vanden Borre, Dixons, Paradigit, Computerland, Coolblue
- France: Darty, Fnac, Boulanger, Auchan, Casino, Conforama, Electrodepot, Leclerc, Cora, Pixmania,
Cdiscount, Rue du commerce, Grosbill and Amazon .
- Spain: ECI, MediaMark, Saturn, The Phone House, Erowski, Leclerc, Pixmania and Mediamarkt
- Portugal: The Phone House, Pixmania
- Greece: MediaMark, Saturn, Dixon, Public

Archos Android tabets reviews

We’ve seen “Archos Android tablet” models of all sizes and shapes hit the gadget test bench over the last few weeks here at Android Tablet PC Review. While everyone else ums and ahs about Honeycomb, Archos has got out there and actually shipped a whole family of Google slates you can buy today – for that at least, it should be applauded.

But which, if any of them should you slap down your hard earned for? Read on for our Archos Android tablet review group test and we’ll tell you which one’s for who.

Archos 101 Android tablet review

Like the Advent Vega, the Archos 101 Android tablet is a surprisingly high power model for the price you pay, and it’s roundabout the same size as an iPad. And, you could argue, offers many of the same features, with a multitouch screen, fast web browsing and respectable battery life. It can even output in HD to your TV, and certainly smashes the iPad when it comes to local music and video file format support.

However, as with all of Archos’ range, we have to mark it down for a lack of core Google apps – like Maps, Gmail and the Android Market – meaning you only get part of the Android experience. And having part of the Android experience isn’t as good as having all of the iPad experience for £80 more.

Hackers however will love how easily you can put Google’s apps on there if you know where to look – so this one is for a niche audience only.

Archos 43 Android tablet review

The Archos 43 Android tablet has almost everything going for it: it costs less than an iPod touch, packs a whizzy 1GHz processor inside and can even output HD video to your TV. It’s even got a kickstand. How can you argue with that? You can’t.

Sadly, it’s slightly let down by the resistive touchscreen and lack of Google apps – the latter issue is easily resolved with some tinkering, but there’s no getting round the frustrating lack of multitouch.

That said, we know there’s a small group of die hards out there who swear by resistive touchscreens and stylii – we presume they all live in cold places where you need to wear gloves and there are no Apple stores, but if that’s you, you’ll love the Archos 43 Android tablet.

The Archos 28 Android tablet is frankly too small to really get away with the tablet moniker, and it’s certainly too small to enjoy video on. But it’s certainly preferable to the pricey iPod nano, courtesy of its ability to run Android apps. In fact, we make it the cheapest way to get Spotify on the go, anywhere on the planet right now – that could make it a nice prezzie for any Spotify Premiumn subscribers you know.

This model has been usurped by the Archos 70 model with a much newer build of Android (2.2 rather than 1.5), but if all you want is a portable video player, you could do worse for the £99 pricetag. It plays just about everything you throw at it after all.

Archos 5 Android tablet review

Archos is still selling its very first Android tablet, originally launched in 2009. It too is only running Android 1.5, but it’s certainly been built to last, and comes with plentiful storage space – either a 32GB solid state drive or 160GB hard drive if you’re willing to accept more bulk in your bag.
