Archos Arnova 7” and 10” Android 4.0 Tablets Just $172 USD (€136)

In a surprising turn of events, despite the Japanese monster earthquake that was supposed to raise the prices of Japan-made electronics and the Thailand catastrophic floods that has been already used by Western Digital and Seagate to rip us off, tablets are getting considerably cheaper.

We’ve just announced LG’s huge 63% price reduction on their Optimus Pad here.

Australian retailer Kogan has just introduced the Agora 10” tablet for a price rivaling today’s announced Archos.

Archos reportedly keeps up the pace with the rest of the cheap tablet pack and starts selling the Arnova 7d G3 tablet featuring a 7” display with multi-touch support and a 800×480 resolution.

The 7d G3 tablet is powered by a single-core ARM Cortex A8 processor running at 1 GHz and comes with 4 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM.

The 10″ Arnova 10b G3 sports a higher 1024×600 resolution screen and also a $235 price.

That’s about €187 for the European customers.
