Archos has announced Archos G9 Honeycomb tablets will be available starting
September 20. The big news is that the starting price point for these
comes in at just $299, the first manufacturer to go under $300.
For
that you get the 8-inch Archos 80 8GB packing an OMAP 4 ARM Cortex A9
dual core processor at 1GHz, Android 3.2, and unlike previous Archos
devices these come fully loaded with the official Android Market.
Pushing
on a bit further, the Archos G9 "Turbo" devices will begin to appear
later on in the month. These push the OMAP 4 up to a pretty hefty 1.5GHz
and will be appearing for sale from September 30. These include the
16GB and 250GB variants of the 80, and the 16GB and 250GB big brothers
to the 80, the 10 inch Archos 101. All but the 250GB 101 come in at
under $400, which is pretty competitive pricing.Source: Businesswire
