Archos Announces 8" Arnova 8b G2 Android Tablet

Buying Guide: What's the best tablet under £300?
By TechRadar, published 17-06-2011
Though many would say the Apple iPad set the standard in terms of what people expect from a tablet these days in terms of function, it also seems to have set the price.Many Android tablets, including the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and HTC Flyer have come in at a price that comes close to matching the cost of Apple's machine, but not everyone's willing to pay that much to get in on the act.As ever, the world of technology can be relied upon to provide some budget tablets, including some brilliantly cheap Android tablets, and in some cases you'll sacrifice surprisingly little from their more expensive brethren.1. Creative Ziio 7-inchThe Ziio isn't what you'd call a premium product, we readily admit. For functionality and design, it's far behind the more expensive tablets. But there's still a lo...
Forget XOOM, sue your rivals instead analyst advises Motorola
By SlashGear, published 26-04-2011
Since you can’t beat ‘em, sue ‘em – that’s the advice from one analyst to Motorola Mobility, who calls the Motorola XOOM a failure, Honeycomb “dead on arrival” and the Android Market “a disaster.” Global Equities’ Trip Chowdry throws out a hugely-ranging estimate for the number of XOOM tablets sold – between 15,000 and 120,000, he reckons – and suggests that, Fortune reports, rather than attempt to compete with Apple and RIM, Motorola should aim to pick off its Android OEM counterparts with patent lawsuits. In fact, Chowdry even puts together a handy chart – shown above – suggesting which of its rivals Motorola should target with a “full attack.” HTC, Lenovo, Acer, Archos and ASUS are among th...

In Depth: 8 best iPad 2 apps
By TechRadar, published 20-04-2011
If you've been fortunate enough to get your hands on a new iPad 2, you'll know that it's a very powerful piece of kit. Yes, so it's very slim and all, but what actually matters is that Apple A5 dual-core processor, improved graphics and new gyroscope – meaning that developers have been rushing to update their apps . So here are a few of the best new ones – along with older apps that run better on the new iPad. 1. PhotoBooth - Free (included with iPad 2)A staple of the iPad 2's starter apps, PhotoBooth takes advantage of the iPad's dual cameras to bring you stupid pictures of yourself. Yes, it is a novelty app, but it's one that might make you smile. Or, more probably, make young'uns chuckle at the sight of themselves with silly effects applied. You can share photos or save them to the ...
iPad 2 top tablet says Consumer Reports
By SlashGear, published 04-05-2011
Consumer Reports has never been keen on the iPhone 4, criticizing both the original AT&T and newer Verizon versions for their antenna performance, but the independent buyers’ guide has no such qualms about the iPad 2. “Some series competitors are finally hitting the market” the organization says, but having tested ten models they’re still leaning toward recommending the Apple slate. Models from Archos, Dell, Motorola, Samsung and ViewSonic were pitted against Apple’s first- and second-gen iPads, and judged on touchscreen responsiveness, versatility, portability, screen glare and ease-of-use. Top place went to the iPad 2 WiFi + 3G 32GB, but the first-gen iPad tied with Motorola’s XOOM. Battery life proved particularly variable, with the iPad 2...

Review: Archos 101
By TechRadar, published 04-01-2011
While we didn't get along with Archos' 9-inch Windows tablet, released last year, the Archos 101 thankfully addresses many of our chief concerns. The result is a highly usable and well built mobile tablet computer.Although boasting a 10.1-inch screen, it's thinner than its older brother at just 15mm. It's solidly built yet still light, and the 450-minute battery life is more than enough to keep you entertained all day. Bluetooth 2.1 is supported, so you can pair it with compatible devices such as smartphones and headsets. Ports are comprehensive, including a standard USB port as well as mini USB, and mini HDMI for connecting to an external display. The low-resolution front-facing webcam is fine for web chats, while a microSD card slot expands the 8GB Solid State Drive. A foldout stand at t...

Calm down, Amazon Scratchpad are dev-tools not tablet
By SlashGear, published 30-03-2011
Rumors around Amazon’s tablet plans refuse to die, with the retailer’s recent moves with the Amazon App Store and the new Cloud Player for Android app each being used as evidence a cloud-centric slate is on the roadmap. However, despite reports to the contrary, it seems it won’t be the Amazon Scratchpad. Although several Scratchpad-themed domains have been registered recently by the online retailer, they appear to be related to Amazon’s Marketplace Web Service. As TNW points out, several of the registered domains include the initials MWS (Marketplace Web Service) and Scratchpad apps are already available for testing Amazon’s Web Service APIs. They’re not new, either; the apps have been available for several years for developers to use. So, it’s ...
Amazon Android tablet rumors won’t go away
By SlashGear, published 23-03-2011
It started innocently enough. Amazon published a job listing looking for Android developers for their Kindle division. That led to speculation that maybe the Kindle was going to evolve into an Android based ebook reader ala the NOOKcolor. And with devs taking the NOOKcolor and rooting it into a full fledged and very affordable Android Tablet, people started to see the possibilities even more. And then the Amazon Store for Android was announced and the rumors started to gather steam. While the company is still only selling simple Kindle e-readers, Amazon has quietly built all the tools it needs to compete against Apple and the other tablet makers with its own Android-based tablets. It’s more than just a few fans and bloggers getting out the rumor. It’s analysts like Dan From...

Microsoft Windows 8 Tablet Demo Possibly In June
By SlashGear, published 03-01-2011
There are rumors that Microsoft could have its first offering of Windows 8 operating system by the end of June, which is Microsoft’s fiscal year end. The design is specifically for tablets and the new interface is rumored to take hints from Apple and parts of the Metro interface found in Windows Phone 7. Many believe that Microsoft Windows 8 will have its first beta by September, but the company usually has at least one or more extra beta releases followed with at least one more candidate release. Microsoft is known for a three-year release schedule it adheres to for new OS and could have Windows 8 on tablets by the end of 2012, which would put it three years after Windows 7 shipped. Microsoft has had a hard time cracking the tablet market with Windows and is far behind the leaders iO...
