Archos to make Android tablets for $150!


Sure, the iPad 2 will be awesome, but its base price is $500! The Motorola Xoom is also amazing, but it costs $600 with a 2-year contract ($800 without)! That's how many consumers feel about tablets. They're awesome, but not worth the price. Well, thanks to Archos, you'll soon be able to get an Android tablet for $150 or $200! Archos will make two tablets, an Arnova 10 and an Arnova 8. A Russian site has provided us with the specs of these tablets:

The Archos Arnova 10 will have a large 10.1" resistive touchscreen, and will run on Android 2.1. It will have a 600 MHz processor and have 8GB of flash storage. In April, a version of the Arnova 10 with a 1GHz Cortex-A8 and a capacitive touchscreen will be avaliable. The Arnova 8 will the same specs, except that the screen will be 8", it will have only 4GB of flash storage, and will cost just $150! These tablets should be out before April.
