www.archos.com in any nationality makes no mention of a archos 7b, tho there is a 70c in the ereader section (that looks nothing like either the 7th or the 70, unlike the 7b). |

Re: the Archos Thread
Archos announced and updated Archos 9
http://www.techdigest.tv/2011/05/archos_9_tablet.html http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...windows-tablet with a new Atom processor Oaktrail I think its called. |
Re: the Archos Thread
Wait, the Archos 7c, released a few weeks ago, has Android 2.1? The existing Archos 70 had 2.2, suggesting some kind of hardware shortcoming of the 7c?
I don't mind not having cameras or wireless-N, but no bluetooth could be a bit of a drag. Added: it looks like they've now got a 4.8" tablet with a 500gb disk! That is tempting... I always felt the 250gb disk in the Archos 70 was too small... but it has 128mb ram (instead of 256mb like the other models) and no bluetooth... obviously a low end device. Sigh |
Re: the Archos Thread
Also Archos is killing their home tablet line in favor of Arnova.
http://translate.google.com/translat...ve-Arnova.html I could see the Arnova brand be useful for other appliance like devices such as camcorders and eReaders. |
Re: the Archos Thread
I would love to see true pen input on future Archos devices so they could be used for taking notes and drawing. I think a solution like a active digitizer or capacitive touchscreen with a transparent resistive layer for pressure sensitive input. It would be a good differentiator and the HTC flyer is way to expensive. Bringing that functionality to affordable devices like the Archos one would be great.

Re: the Archos Thread
Also its incredibly easy to hack the Arnova tablets.

Re: the Archos Thread
I think it would be good for Archos to adopt MeeGo because at this point Android remains quite closed and it is stupid to try to build an ecosystem where one already exists. I think Archos should either use MeeGo or Ubuntu and build a Software UX on top of either and build an ecosystem on top of that or they should make their own Linux distribution. Android differentiated Archos from other MID/PMP/UMPC maker MeeGo could help Archos differentiate themselves from Android tablet and Media player makers and it would be another thing they could add to their list of tablet innovations. First widely available MeeGo tablets and first Arm based MeeGo tablet available to consumers.

Re: the Archos Thread
Also Archos will adopt a new Screen technology. That is "revolutionary"
So the best guess is a transflective screen like Pixel Qi or Mirasol http://translate.google.com/translat...r-la-Gen9.html These devices are getting better the more I hear about them. |
Re: the Archos Thread
The first pictures of the Archos 35 have been released confirming the existence of Generation 9. Also if you look at the pictures you will notice a microsd slot a feature that was missing from the Archos 32 an 28, but it doesn't have a camera. This should still be a nice upgrade.

Naw, I think it's great that they keep on putting Android on their devices for the majority of people buying their devices, but I'd really like them to augment their hardware with the availability of MeeGo and Ubuntu and other very open OS's as well. |
Re: the Archos Thread
Also the patent with Archos' new 3G solution has been revealed to the internets http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publi...R=506713T&KC=T
Unfortunately the page is in French. Still it confirms the existence of a 3G solution. I wonder how they will implement it. |
Re: the Archos Thread
Also Archos now are flash capable out of the box.
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featur...rchos-appslib/ Only took them so long. It seems as if the appslib may have a chance of competing with the Android market. |
Re: the Archos Thread
Also Archos has officially announced an event for Generation 9.
http://www.jbmm.fr/2011/05/23-juin-gen-9-day/ The message translated from the pictures says on Thursday June 23rd at 18:30/6:30(Paris Time) Archos will unveil the 3rd Generation of Archos Android Tablets. Also look at picture of the Android robot he is holding an Android Market shopping bag and a bee is buzzing and flying by him, this clearly indicates Honeycomb and Market support out of the box. Cool stuff!!! |
Re: the Archos Thread
http://www.archoslounge.net/Un-parte...ficialise.html
Archos in future devices will be using a special transparent film technology that charges your devices through solar power, and get this Archos got it before LG, Apple, Samsung, Nokia, HP ETC. Another innovation for Archos. This will bring us closer to true mobility and never even needing to plug in our devices!!! |

Re: the Archos Thread
Also Archos leaked another thing about generation 9 over their facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/ARCHOS.Enter...50639361180587 "@Zachary - there will not be a new 43 offering at this time" and Archoslounge got word of it too http://www.archoslounge.net/Archos-a...s-rumeurs.html So I think for Archos' product line will look something like this. Archos 35, Archos 50, Archos 70v2, Archos 80, Archos 84, Archos 101v2 |

Re: the Archos Thread
Archos officially unveils there line of new products to the WORLD!!!!11one epicness
Anyways Archos unveiled two tablets an 8 inch and a 10.1 inch tablet. Unfortunately no 3.5, 5, or 7 inch tablet from Archos, probably because of the honeycomb screen size issue, Acer and Dell had the same problem. So they probably will make smaller devices when Ice Cream Sandwhich comes. The pricing for the 8 to 10 inch models are 280-350 dollars. Also the processor is a Omap 4460 clocked at 1.5ghz which is faster than many low end and old PCs (including the one I'm using to type this with now), can't wait to see what the benchmarks pull out :). There is flash based version up to 32gb and hdd versions up to 250gb. Also there is a detachable 3g modem that is USB powered and integrates with the design, the modem also works with a computer so you can have one data plan for all of your devices. The 3g is only an additional 50 dollars. Also these devices come with Honeycomb and Android market!!!! Archos seems to address all of the problems that plagued Archos devices such as the clunky HDMI implementation, poor viewing angles, and lack of market. Also GPS is built in. Full USB support is available on both models. So much stuff they crammed in. Promo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zQuY_zF2e8 HDMI Output http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyIovM4ICYM Viewing Angles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNwryHXKr0w More Gaming and GPS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr3ehTQ_aFY Home Phone system http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSjuvUZFV44 Office Suite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew8GdDmysRI More info http://www.archos.com/products/gen9/...try=us&lang=en The home phone system is pretty much a home phone with smart device functionality very interesting idea, but I don't see it taking off |
Re: the Archos Thread
Large tablets, meh. An OMAP4-based 4-5"er on the other hand would have been incredibly tempting.

Re: the Archos Thread
I've added my name to the "Notify me" list at the Archos site.
I've not used Android before. I watch my co-worker's Samsung Galaxy S device have its battery removed twice a day to keep it on track. Is this what I can expect from Honeycomb on a tablet? |

It isn't the battery life. It's "the thing won't do anything. It's froze up again" issue. Removing the battery and restarting it restarts the fun. Do other Android devices have that sort of consistent issue? |

Or, he may be running different roms, or flashing nightly builds that may have issues. The Galaxy S is a pretty popular line. I doubt it would still be popular if everyone was having lockups, and having to pull the battery multiple times a day. |
Re: the Archos Thread
Also two new tablet from Archos were leaked a 7inch one and another of an unknown size
A70S2 (7 incher) http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/11/a...ls-us-nothing/ AT0S2 http://www.ubergizmo.com/2011/07/arc...en-at-the-fcc/ Yey this mean Archos hasn't given up on smaller devices that are 3 to 7inches. |
