The Archos 7 Home Tablet was something of a disappointment, and Archos
has shipped bigger and better things since, but the firm isn't done
with the original affordable Android slate quite yet. We've confirmed
with Archos that a "v2" revision is now shipping in Europe with three
things the original lacked -- an accelerometer, a relatively recent
version of Android (2.1) and an 800MHz Rockchip CPU. Make no mistake,
those are still budget specs, and you'll almost certainly still have
to hack your own Android Market on to get a full quota of apps, but
it's not like you're paying any more for the extra oomph. The updated
version has been spotted at Expansys for the same $200, which might
actually might make it one of the best bang-for-the-buck tablets out
there. Look how far we've come.
[Thanks, Marien]
