Archos is heading to the IFA show in Berlin laden down with new Internet Tablets. The media player specialist has devices ranging from a dinky 2.8 inches to a 10-inch iPad competitor.
Archos has been producing portable Internet Tablets since the iPad was a mere twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye. Earlier devices have run on Linux and Windows 7, but of late the company seems to be leaning heavily in the direction of Android to power its media players and tablets.
Archos describe the range as featuring “computing, communications and apps” and showing off “Archos’ legendary video quality”.
Not much else is known about the new tablets. In particular, what version of Android they will be running. We would love to see five new Froyo tablets on the market but so many manufacturers fall at the last fence by shipping with Android 1.6 (or even earlier – you know who you are) that we aren’t going to get too excited until we see them in action.
We will be attending the IFA this year, so you can be sure we will have the full story on Archos’ new tablets as soon as they are unveiled.
