[Deal Alert] Adorama Offering 8GB 1GHz And 16GB 1.5GHz Archos 80 G9 Dual-Core Tablets For $250 Each (That's $50 And $80 Off, Respectively)

Posted by in Deals, Tablets

Adorama, one of the more popular online purveyors of photo equipment (and other electronics), are offering a couple of awesome deals on Archos' 80 G9 tablets, selling the dual-core 1GHz 8GB model, as well as its 1.5GHz, 16GB counterpart for $250 each. Of course, since the 1.5GHz model was delayed, your purchase will essentially count as a pre-order, but $250 for this power-packed tablet is practically a steal, taking a cool $80 off the original price tag.

While they may be relatively inexpensive, both Archos 80 G9 tablets have a lot to offer. Here are some of their specs:

  • 8" 1024x768 display
  • Android Honeycomb 3.1
  • ARM dual-core CORTEX A9 OMAP 4 processor (1GHz and 1.5GHz, respectively)
  • 8/16GB internal storage, expandable with microSD slot
  • 512MB RAM
  • Front facing camera capable of 720p encoding
  • mini-HDMI port
  • built-in kickstand

If you've been waiting for a discount on the 8GB variant of the Archos 80 G9, or want to get a great deal on its more powerful counterpart (and don't mind waiting for it to become available), head over to Adorama.

ARCHOS G9 Tablets Delayed Until The 'Start of 2012'... Sort Of

Posted by in 101 G9, 80 G9, News

Remember the 1.5GHz powerhouse G9 tablets that were officially announced last week by ARCHOS? Yeah, the ones with staggering release dates ranging from September 20th to sometime in October. Need a refresher? Okay - here's the quick and dirty edition:

  • ARCHOS 80 G9 8GB: 1GHz Processor, 8-inch display, Honeycomb 3.2; available September 20 from ARCHOS.com and September 30th from other online retailers.
  • ARCHOS 80 G9 16/250GB and ARCHOS 101 G9 16/250GB: 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4, Honeycomb 3.2; available sometime in October.

While the former of the two is now on sale as planned, there has been somewhat of a delay with the latter.

Dual-Core 1.5GHz Tablets With 250GB Of Space Are Almost Here - ARCHOS 80 G9 Arriving September 20th, 101 G9 In October

Posted by in 101 G9, 80 G9, ARCHOS, News

When ARCHOS first announced its upcoming Android 3.2-powered G9 tablets back in June, we were surprised at the amount of raw power tucked away under the chassis of the duo. A bit has changed since then in way of both price and hardware spec -- but it's still not a huge deviation from the original announcement.

80 G9

The 80 G9, named such for its 8-inch 1024x768 display, will come in three variants, each a step up from the last.

The 8GB variant comes in at the lowest price point of the three at $299, and is the only one to pack a 1GHz processor instead of a 1.5GHz OMAP.

Archos Announces 80 G9 and 101 G9: 250GB Of Storage And 1.5GHz Dual-Core Processor In A Honeycomb Shell

Posted by in 101 G9, 80 G9, News

When it comes to Android tablets, we've become accustomed to seeing near-identical specs for each one: 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16/32GB of storage. While those specs are still pretty awesome, Archos is looking to change the game completely with its newly announced 80 G9 and 101 G9 tablets. If you haven't already guessed, the biggest difference between the two tabs is the screen size, with the former offering 8 inches at 1024x768, and the latter with the more common 10.1-inch 1280x800 display.

That's about the only typical spec you'll find on this dynamic duo, though, as they're packing some real horsepower under the hood.
