ARCHOS 101 G9 Overview

Archos' 101 G9 Android tablet was the story of the week when they first announced. Not because Archos had finally gone Honeycomb or because they'd put some nice hardware inside (including a 10.1 inch 1280x800 display, a dual-core OMAP4 and up to 250GB of storage), but because of wat price point they were going to give all this to us for - $350. For what it has inside, it certainly beats the competition in every way in terms of pricing.

ARCHOS 101 G9 Reviews

CNET
"The Archos 101 G9 (8GB) delivers a complete Honeycomb experience, but its rough design, low-quality camera, and awkward button placement make it feel rushed to market."
Pocket Lint
"Archos were making "tablets" before the majority of manufacturers had even considered it. It had large screen devices before the birth of the iPad and before Android even existed."
Android Police
"The Archos 101 G9 is a strong contender for your money if you're on a tight budget."
Android Community
"Archos has always had a focus on video-optimized and flexible hardware, since long before their “tablets” started shipping with Android. With the current generation of mobile hardware, they can add even more media prowess to their utilitarian designs."
Tech Radar
"What do you want from a tablet? It's a question that many reviews want you to ask yourself before invariably buying an iPad 2, but it's a question that's particularly relevant to the Archos 101 G9."
PCMag
"The Archos 101 G9 is a functional, up-to-date Android tablet at a reasonable price, although it doesn't really stand out aside from 1080p file support."
Laptop Mag
"This Archos 101 G9 is a 10-inch Android Honeycomb tablet that's packed with multimedia features for a reasonable price."

Archos Makes Last Minute Changes To High-End G9 Honeycomb Tablets Before October Launch

Looks like Archos is facing some hiccups with their upcoming 1.5GHz G9 Honeycomb tablets.

This, in turn, is causing Archos to rethink their gameplan. Rather than delay the October launch [...]
