Archos 97 Titanium HD Tablet Breaks Cover with Retina Display and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean On Board

archos-titanium-android-tablet

Another day, and yet another Android tablet announced by Archos. But this one is not as same as previous models. While the external look might suggest it is, the inner parts include a 9.7 inch IPS display with 2048 x 1536 pixels – same as the one you get on Apple’s latest and greatest iPad 4; although we may have good reasons to believe that the Archos 97 Titanium HD (yes, that’s how it is called) would probably cost you cheaper. As mentioned, the new release will run the most updated version of Android, the Jelly Bean, under the hood, alongside a 1.6GHz dual-core A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, two cameras, the main camera is 5 megapixels and the front-facing camera is of 2 megapixels, and a microSD card expansion support (up to 64GB). Price and availability are yet to be determined, but this looks really interesting and one to certainly look out for.

Update1: Apparently the 97 Titanium HD tablet is only one of a whole new set of Archos tablets, called “Titanium” and  featuring four different slabs, including the Archos 70, Archos 80, Archos 97, and Archos 101. These names, as you may or may not noticed, refer to the actual size of the screens, that sport high-def IPS capacitive multi-touch technology, paired with a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, a quad-core GPU, And Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for the OS. Prices range between $119 for the smallest 7-inch version, and up to $199 for the 10.1-incher. Full PR after the break.

Update2: Archos has just released another series, under the Platinum” label” with a larger 11.6-inch, 1920×1080 IPS display, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, eight-core GPU, and an Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) for the OS. In addition, there are two cameras (front and rear) in this pack, along with an HDMI out, and a microSD card reader. The price, if you guys are wondering, is at merely $349 and not a single dime more.

Archos 70 Internet Tablet Officially Live For $279

1 Comment

As previously mentioned, Archos has slowly started to roll out its most recent Android tablets/PMPs series with new devices coming out every day, with different form factors but a similar operating system – Android Froyo that is. And while most Archos products to date have carried resistive touchscreens on board, its latest and greatest, Archos 70 tablet, is reportedly packing a 7-inch (800 x 480) capacitive display which hopefully will give you a better and a lot more friendly multitouch experience results. This $279 package offers a powerful 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, along with an OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics accelerator, a front-facing VGA camera, 8GB of flash storage, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth connectivity, and microSDHC card slot. Regretfully, there’s no access to Android Market, but the French company is likely to hook you up with the AppLib store – an Android app scene of its own.

Archos To Officially Release a New Android 2.2 Tablets Lineup

4 Comments

We’ve already seen a bunch of Archos Internet tablets based on Android 1.6 landscape, in the past. Thankfully, the next wave, which will happen this year, will focus on Google’s upcoming Android 2.2 platform (Froyo), as the upper level models will also include multitouch capacitive touchscreens inside. We’ll see a mix of 5 different Android versions getting unleashed – some are more of media player devices and some will likely go live as tablet machines.

Archos 28 ($99.99) – A budget version. Comes with a 2.8-inch, 320 x 240 resistive touchscreen which packs underneath 4GB of storage along with a pretty impressive 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and a wide range of audio / video codecs support. It also boasts an Android Froyo operating system and a new Archos music app that will display your album art in the most convenient way. Regretfully it won’t have Market Apps access nor Google apps preloaded, but fret not, you won’t be left with nothing inside. Get yours, starting this September.

Archos 32 ($149.99) – Another basic PMP version. This one, however, comes equipped with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, boasting 8GB of storage and a rear 720p camera to catch your very precious moments. In addition, if you want this one you can get it somewhere around mid-September with a slew of touch buttons down the lane and a composite port for TV connection.

Archos 43 ($199) – Up next in this new lineup is the Archos 43 which looks like a new Archos 5 version with a much slimmer design and a more powerful 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor. In addition to the 4.3-inch touchscreen you’ll also get (somewhere around mid-October) that rear 720p camera, along the Android Froyo platform and an integrated screen accelerometer.

Archos 70 ($274.99) – A 7-inch Android Froyo tablet that is supposed to go live somewhere around mid October and replace the previous Archos 7 flavor, yet again with an Android 2.2 OS running inside and a slick capacitive multitouch display placed on the top. This one has a mid-October availability dates as well.

Archos 101 ($300) – The most interesting member in that gang, probably because of the 9.7-inch Apple iPad analogy. Comes fully equipped with a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 capacitive touchscreen, along a slim .5-inch thick chassis and only .93-pound of weight. It houses that same strong 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and runs Google’s latest Android 2.2 platform onboard. In addition you get a front facing VGA camera for video conference chats and in term of ports it is said to include an HDMI output, a microSD reader and one single USB host. It’s going live somewhere around mid-October as well, but at the meantime you can checkout the full PR, specs chart,and  Engadget’s Johanna Stern quick hands-on video right after the break.
