With a good price and decent specs, I might just get one

While Archos may deal mainly in mid- to low-end tablets, it has recently come to our attention that they have been planning the release of a new tablet dubbed the Archos 80b Platinum. Priced at $200/€149, it comes with some interesting specifications.

Available now for preorder, it sports a Cortex A9 Quad-Core CPU, Mali 400 graphics, 8GB of storage and 1GB of RAM.

It might not sound as a lot but think of the price, some will say. In terms of looks, the large bezel might be a slight put-off for those that like form as well as substance.

Other specs include a 1024 x 768 pixel multitouch display, Bluetooth, WiFi, as well as a 2 MP rear camera and a frontal, 0.3 MP one. It comes with HDMI connectivity as well as your usual microSD card slot, speaker and microphone.
