Archos 80 G9
As you probably have guessed it by now, the Archos 80 G9 is the smaller version of the 101 G9 and it is a mid-range tablet running on Android Honeycomb. When it came out last year it was probably the most affordable Honeycomb-running in the world as it carried a price tag of only $299 for the 8GB model, while the 16GB version was $329.
The tablet is equipped with a microSD card slot that can accept a card up to a capacity of 32GB. It comes with a front-facing camera that is capable of recording videos in 720p. Connecting to the Internet is done via the Wi-Fi network, while other functions that make it a proper portable system include GPS and Bluetooth.

Much like its bigger brother, the Archos 80 G9 isn’t exactly an attractive tablet because basically we’re dealing with a chunk of gray plastic that measures 8.9 x 6.1 x 0.5 inches and weights 17 ounces. Surprisingly, it feels considerably more solid and premium when you hold it in your hand in comparison with other similar budget-friendly tablets, like the Velocity Micro and the Pandigital.
It comes with an 8-inch touchscreen display that has a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels. Under its hood there’s a Texas Instruments Cortex A9 OMAP4 processor clocked at 1.0 GHz. It offers support for 802.11b/g/n and comes with a dedicated e-mail application. In addition, it supports flash and has a built-in web browser.

Regarding the accepted file formats, the Archos 80 G can take the following files: AAC, FLAC, MP3 and OGG for audio; JPEG, GIF and PNG for photos; and AVI, MPEG2, MPEG4 and H.264 for video.
At the beginning of this year we should expect to see a lineup of new “turbo” tablets that will be powered by faster 1.2 GHz or 1.5 GHz processors. Both versions of the model will become available with a spacious 250GB hard drive, which is something very rare among today’s tablets that usually have a storage capacity of up to 64GB.
