Word on the street was
Archos planned to give us a couple of
new tablets at
IFA this year, but it turns out the upscale Gen 9 hardware is coming a couple months prior to the September trade show. The new Honeycomb slates are set for a June 2011 release and pack a 1.6GHz ARM A9 dual-core chip (the prospect of which should get you spec-heads drooling), up to a 250GB HDD / 32GB SSD, and a patent-pending "disruptive 3G modem" -- all for €400 (about $566). Archos' fiendish plan is to steal some of the
iPad 2's thunder with its speedy processor and competitive price, but
history tells us it'll need more than "competitive" to truly yank any
marketshare. Too bad the
post-PC world can't be bothered to care, right Steve?
