14 DAY TRIAL // Today, leading technology innovator ARCHOS announced the availability of a new device in its Internet tablets series, the ARCHOS 70, which is the first such device to come to the market with a 250GB HDD inside.
According to the company, the new device comes with a unique over-molded PVD stainless steel structured design that is both slim and light.
At the same time, the device comes with a high res capacitive touchscreen display, as well as with a powerful 1 GHz processor, and with high-speed WiFi connectivity options.
Despite the 250GB HDD, the tablet is still one of the slimmest and the lightest devices on the market, measuring 7.91 x 4.49 x 0.55 inch and weighing in at 14 oz.
The ARCHOS 70 tablet PC is already available for purchase via the company's website here, featuring a price tag of $349.99 MSRP.
The features list of the new device includes: - A huge storage capacity to store up to 250 movies - A full multimedia experience, with 720p HD video playback - Built-in web cam for chatting with friends and family - With the HDMI output function, you can view the full Android interface on your TV in High Definition, including all the apps, not only video playback like other tablets on the market - Play 3D games from your TV and use your tablet as the steering-wheel/control - Unique Android Multimedia applications designed by ARCHOS such as: Movie information and cover retrieval in video file info dialog 3D animated photo frame with ability to display pictures from Facebook, Flickr and Picassa directly through WiFi Music cover carrousel allows quick browsing of your music album covers - A lot of applications with Appslib to fit your lifestyle including games, books, music, social media, recipes, news and sports
The tablet PC is powered by Google's Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, and combines a great user interface with a 3D Graphics accelerator, the company announced.
Courtesy of this operating system, the device can offer web browsing, along with fast access to email, support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1, and more. The new tablet also comes with HDMI output connectivity.
Unfortunately, the ARCHOS 70 tablet PC won't offer its owners the possibility to access applications via the Android Market, a feature that other devices from the company lack as well.
“We are proud to be the first to release an Android tablet that features a 250GB HDD” says Henri Crohas, CEO and founder. “We strive to be the leader in the Android and Windows based tablet market by creating award-winning innovative options at affordable prices.”
