Archos 7 Home Tablet sees revision 2, with Android 2.1 and faster 800MHz CPU

<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="213" src="http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5825/100329archos7hometablet.jpg" width="400" /></div><br /> 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 <i>relatively</i> 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 <i>Expansys</i> 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.<br /> <br /> <h6></h6><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/30/archos-7-home-tablet-sees-revision-2-with-android-2-1-and-faste/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>
