Archos 7 Android Tablet

The ARCHOS 7 home tablet is the first 7’’ Android™ tablet to deliver the Internet and all the applications for your digital lifestyle whether you’re lying on the couch or you’re out and about, for a breakthrough price of just $199. The ARCHOS 7 home tablet sports a 7’’ touch screen and a slim form factor of only 12 mm thick. Weighing approximately 350 g (0.8 Ibs), the ARCHOS 7 home tablet is extremely portable and can be easily carried around the home.


With the ARCHOS 7 home tablet, users will always be in touch with the world around them through easy access to information services such as news, weather and local business directories. The video player software provides a great movie and YouTube™ viewing experience.


With built-in Wi-Fi, the ARCHOS 7 home tablet can easily be connected to a home network, while the built-in USB connection makes transferring files from a PC or a USB stick simple.


This tablet consumes power at a very modest rate thus allowing up to 7 hours of video playback and up to 44 hours of music from a full battery charge.Sure, everyone’s talking about Honeycomb (well, some people are), but if you just want a little hackable tablet on which to do whatever it is you do with a 7″ tablet, this Archos 7 is going for a bargain-bin price right now. It was $200 at launch last year, but as you can imagine, there is a bit of stock left over, and it’s available on eBay for $125 with free shipping. It’s from TigerDirect, but cheaper than they have on their own site.


Need something to use as a second screen, Twitter/RSS device, or home media controller? This thing might suit you.
