[Deal Alert] Archos 70 Tablet With Case For $190, But You Have To 'Like' Archos On Facebook

Posted by in 70, Deals, News

If you're looking for a cheap tablet experience, then look no further - as long as you're a fan of Archos on Facebook, then you can grab the Archos 70 for $190, and it even includes a free case. Sure, it may not be the hottest thing in the tablet world right now, but for less than you would normally pay for some eBook readers, it's still hard to beat this deal.

The Archos 70 sports a 7 inch 800x480 display, 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 8GB of storage, and Android 2.2, so it's not the most amazing device you'll ever buy - but I bet it would be an awesome device to have around for hacking and ROMming purposes.

While they may not quite have the buzz that Samsung's Galaxy Tab is generating, there has been still been plenty of interest in Archos's 2010 line of Android tablets - particularly among those who like to hold on to their money. Archos's pricing has traditionally been one of the hardware's most attractive points, and this year's "Generation 8" is no exception.

Archos Announces A Whole New Lineup Of Five Froyo Tablets

Posted by in 101, 28, 32, 43, 70, ARCHOS, News

While the current state of Android tablets is measly to say the least, it looks like that may be changing soon enough, with the Galaxy Tab that we will (hopefully) see announced in 3 days at IFA 2010, the recently announced ViewSonic ViewPad 7 Froyo tablet, and now five new Archos tablets.

Admittedly, the Archos name didn't exactly excite us (this is, after all, the same company that made the resistive touchscreen-impaired, buttonless, Android 1.6-laden, Archos 5 Internet tablet) but after a closer look at what they've got to offer, we think the manufacturer might be onto something here.

With the tagline "How do you tablet?" Archos has just introduced:

Archos 28

Archos 28 is a $99.99, 2.8-inch, 320x240 resistive touch machine, which is set to launch by the end of September (also comes with 4GB of storage and an 600MHz Cortex A8 processor).
