Archos plans of launching a low cost Android tablet will generate a sale for them now looks almost dull. If it had launched few quarters earlier then it would have been a device to talkb about but in the market where Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich talks are around and Honeycomb is leading the market trends, 2.3 Gingerbread tablets looks out dated. Anyways here comes the Archos Arnova 8b G2 Android tablet and lets go through the specifications of it.
Archos Arnova 8b G2 is equipped with ARM Cortex A8 processor clocked at 1 Ghz which is just the single core, 512 MB of RAM and comes with 8 inches amazing capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 800 x 600 pixels. It comes in 8 Gb and 4 GB internal storage capacity options along with a micro SD card slot to expand the storage capacity of this tablet. It comes with 224 mm x 155 mm x 11.5 mm dimensions and weight 510 grams.
The screen is just the like iPad and it has 4 : 3 aspect ratio. As of now there is now information on the availability of this tablet yet as this is just the announcement from Archos team. Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n is there for the internet access on this tablet and it just have front camera which can be used for webcam. Its powered with Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and includes Lithium Polymer battery with no specifications powering up this tablet.
It comes with MP3, WAV, APE, OGG, FLAC audio playback and JPEG, BMP, GIF, PNG photos formats and H.264, MPEG 4, AVI, MP4, MKV, MOV, FLV formats are supported.
Whenever I talk about cheap Android tablets, users have a lot of options and this leads to confusions. As far as leaders are concerned, its Kindle Fire by Amazon which is leading the sales in Android category. But if this tablet is priced at mere $ 150 or even less, I would recommend to the users to go with it or else Kindle is the first choice.
