ARCHOS Announces The 80 Cobalt, A Lower-End Dual-Core 8" ICS Tablet Without A Price Tag Yet

Posted by in ARCHOS, News

Today, ARCHOS released details on its newest small form factor tablet, the 80 Cobalt. Clearly aimed at the lower end of the slate market, this device packs a 1.6Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of on-board storage and a rather meager 1024x768 display. Fortunately, the device also includes the controversial as of late micro SD card slot.
