The Archos tablets Gen9 dual-core 1.6GHz and 3G connectivity in June

The French company Archos goes through good times on the market, with revenues in 2010 exceeding 44% over 2009. The fact they have worked with portable devices for 10 years has placed them in a good position to adopt the Android operating system. His most recent success is found in the tablets affordable with Google operating system, and unlike other projects of large manufacturers, there are products that never quite reach the final customer, as it is possible to find in most specialty .

Archos where you want to be is in the tablets to move between 100 and 400 euros, seeking more affordable models, and up until just a notch below where they are the most important products: iPad2, Motorola Xoom, etc. . The co-Journal du Geek has the details of the new generation of tablets, known as Gen9, and the novelty informarmos you to be the first to use dual-core processors at 1.6GHz (ARM Cortex-A9).

Although we did not give details about the hardware manufacturer, the historical relationship with Texas Instruments makes us think we could be looking at a version of the OMAP 4440 chipset, we've already seen phones like the LG 3D Optimus tablet or BlackBerry Playbook. Another novelty in going to work on is 3G connectivity for its 2011 models, as operators begin to see with good eyes the French manufacturer.

It is expected that the option is presented as a module, with the possible incorporation in future models that have no standard with it. With respect to storage, are betting on conventional hard drives, allowing them to get up to 250GB at good prices. For models will also Gen9 with 32GB SSD option.

Although unconfirmed, the expected sizes 5, 7 and 10.1 inches, but in total have projects with six different sizes, these are the most sound and that the Gen8 the last two have worked very well. Most options will be trained, and there are rumors that Pixel Qi may be in negotiations with Archos.

We also report that the construction and materials used will be similar to what they were doing so far, relying on low-cost design that combines plastic with a stainless steel body. Thanks to a patented process for them in the internal structure is steel, rugged devices are achieved with a pretty good thickness.

If we compare a 70 with a Samsung Archos Tab Galaxy, we have to weigh 300 and 380 grams, respectively, with a thickness of 10 and 12 mm. For peace of mind of many, the tablets will Gen9 Honeycomb, and hopefully this time get access to Android Market officially, are working with Google on it.

For the most affordable range have created a new company called Archos within Arnova, and will have 6 new features this summer, possibly some of these models served to third-party under another name. The new products will be presented officially in June. Route | Journal du Geek More | Archos
