When the Kindle Fire debuted last year analysts predicted that the tablet’s $199 price tag would initiate a race to the bottom on tablet prices. That prediction proved prescient at this year’s CES where we saw several high-profile Android tablets priced between $179 and $249. Unlike the Kindle Fire and it’s arch nemesis the Nook [...]
By now, many people are familiar with smartphones, but despite the advancements made on our mobile cellular handsets, few of those innovations have made it back to the landline. Archos is hoping to change some of that as it readies the Archos 35 home smartphone, a cordless home handset that comes with a large touchscreen [...]
Amazon’s Kindle Fire may have been the first Android tablet to hit the sub-$200 price range, however, the Kindle Fire runs on a heavily modified version of Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread software. Today though, Archos has announced that it is bringing the first sub-$200 tablet running Android Honeycomb 3.2, the version of Android that came [...]
All the way back on June 23rd, Archos announced the G9 Series Honeycomb tablets, the Archos 80 G9 and the Archos 101 G9, and said that they would be out on shelves by the end of September. Well, we’re now in the middle of said month and Archos has made good on its promise as [...]
Archos has announced that its G9 series of slate–available in either an 8- or 10-inch size with various storage capacities–will be shipping this September starting at just $300, which is lower than the $400 base price of the popular Android Honeycomb-powered Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet.

Archos has announced a pair of Android Honeycomb 3.1 tablets, the Archos 80 G9 and the Archos 101 G9, and they look like they are both going to be pretty solid offerings, especially for those of you who covert hard drive space on your devices. The biggest difference between the two is the size of [...]
While Archos has been making a number of portable media players–tablets and music listening devices–that run on the Android operating system, none of those systems released to date come with mobile broadband 3G access, placing Archos at a disadvantage against players like Samsung’s Galaxy Tab and Motorola’s Xoom Honeycomb tablets. That’s about to change as [...]
Okay, we weren’t really that unsuspecting, but it’s still impressive that ARCHOS is beefing up their line of media tablets with five new models running Android, including a model with 2.8″ display starting under $100.
Joanna Stern has another one of her in-depth reviews up at Engadget, this time of the Archos 7 Home Tablet running Android. Is it a winner? For $199, it might not have to be.
In my view there are quite a few folks who are really happy that yesterday’s iPad announcement is over. Many of these folks are competitors or “me-too” manufacturers on some level. Apple made a big splash and everyone is still drying out from the overwash and sorting through things. Apple may have indeed hit a [...]

And why not? Looks like Archos, makers of many a Portable Music Player is getting into the Netbook (or whatever we are going to call them) race, at least in France.
