August 31, 2010 | by Andrew Kameka

What a shocker, another company promises tablets running on Android! The twist here is that Archos is one of the few, almost the only, company that has actually make good its promise of delivering one. (Remember the Archos 5?)

Now the French manufacturer has announced that it will continue the tablet game with a stable of Android tablets and media devices set for release, costing as little as $100 on the lower end.

Archos plans to deliver products as small as a personal media player with a 4.3-inch screen, and a tablet with a 10.1-inch screen. Each will run a custom version of Android geared towards consuming media content, playing games, browsing the web, and reading ebooks. Here is more information on each product.

ARCHOS 28 internet tablet

Available in September at 4GB, with a recommended retail price of $99.99.

Designed to be portable media player and described as a “flagship product of the range.” It also supports email, web browsing, games, and more (through Wi-Fi). Includes music, video, and photo apps customized by ARCHOS. Supports several media formats/codecs. It has a 2.8-inch resistive screen and an 800 MHz processor.

ARCHOS 32 internet tablet

See ARCHOS 28 and imagine larger capacity/features. This version also has a camcorder and easy sharing to networks. It also has a 3.2-inch screen, hence the “32” in the title.

I'll buy the 10.1. These Archos tablets are the best showed at IFA I think in comparison to price and functionality. Just take a look at the specs on their site and watch some demonstration from different techperts. It's amazing. Unlike the Galaxy Tab that comes with a $1030 price tag when you don't want a contract. Ridiculous.

Howdy would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
