ARCHOS 70 Internet Tablet Now Available
Archos has just unleashed their latest tablet, the ARCHOS 70. At first glance you may think it was just another tablet in a long line of tablets that have come and tablets that are coming; but this one is a little different with its 250 GB HDD. Yes, the word “snap” came to my mind, too.
And that isn’t the only specification that makes you look twice at this device. Among a long list of features, expect:
- FroYo
- 1GHz processor
- 7″ capacitive touch screen
- 720p video playback
- HDMI out
At only $350 dollars, you might have a tough time saying “no” when you get your hands on one.
