French company
Archos have made quite a name of themselves over the past 10 years for producing well made but affordable media players and over the past few years competitive
Android tablets.
In a recent financial meeting
Archos made details known for their upcoming next generation tablets. These
new tablets known as the
Archos Gen 9 tablets will get the same cost effective plastic body over a
stainless steel frame, the same choice of either
SSD memory or traditional hard drives, but will get a hugely improved
CPU which may well give the 'premium' tablets a run for their money.
The planned chip for the Gen 9 range of tablets is based on the
Cortex A9 architecture and will run at a
clock speed of up to 1.6Ghz! Or in other words much faster than any other
tablet currently on the market!
Also
new for
Archos will be the introduction of it's
first 3G compatible tablets.
