Storage capacity on Android tablets has just hit an all-time high with the ARCHOS 70 internet tablet, equipped with a massive 250GB HDD. Now available in retail stores, the ARCHOS 70 is raising the bar for Android tablets, complete with a blazing fast processor and high resolution touch screen.
The key ingredients needed in making an Android tablet begin with the processor. The ARCHOS 70 features the industry-standard 1 GHz processor and a 3D Graphics accelerator. Running Android 2.2 Froyo, the tablet supports Flash 10.1 and 720p HD video playback.
Where the ARCHOS 70 steps ahead of the competition beyond the storage capacity is the screen. Measuring in at 10.1 inches, the capacitive touch screen takes both gaming and multimedia to new highs. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is nice and compact, but the ARCHOS 70 10.1 inch display has the iPad’s 9.7 inch screen dead in its crosshairs.
Taking your multimedia content from your ARCHOS 70 and displaying on your TV is a cinch – Simply use the HDMI output port on the side of the tablet. Video ouput via HDMI is not limited to just video or pictures, you can display all aspects of the device.
ARCHOS has taken special handling for their Android tablet with the introduction of unique multimedia applications. There’s a movie information application with cover retrieval in the video file info dialog, a 3d animated photo frame app which works with popular social network sites (Facebook, Flickr, Picassa) over WiFi and a music cover carrousel app similar to the Cover Flow on iOS.
The ARCHOS 70 internet tablet is just the beginning. The company has announced plans to release a variety of Android tablets in 2011 ranging from 2.8 inches to 10.1 inches. When we are reporting live from CES 2011 in a couple weeks, we’ll be sure to put their entire product line up through its paces.
