Archos tablets

Want an Archos Android tablet? You’re in luck. The French firm just dished up a slew of them before showing them off at the IFA gadget expo this week.

Pick of the bunch for cash strapped tablet-eyers is the Archos 28 internet tablet, an Android-powered PMP packed with 4GB of flash memory with web-browsing abilities for a wallet-friendly £99. Fork out an extra tenner, and the Archos 28 comes with 8GB of memory at £109.

It’s a little dinky to really be called a “tablet” if you ask us, but there’s also a new Archos 101, with a roomy 10.1 inch multitouch screen, although it’s considerably more expensive at £269 for an 8GB model, or £299 with 16GB inside.

UPDATE: We’ve added some better quality pictures into the gallery above, which should make identifying which new Archos Android tablet is which a little easier!
