14 DAY TRIAL // If you are looking for a 1024x768 pixel 9.7-inch tablet that won’t break your bank, Archos has you covered with the Turbo edition of the Arnova 9 G2 that has now reached the US for $229.99 (175 EUR).
Powered by a single-core ARM Cortex A8 processor clocked at 1GHz, Archos’ Arnova tablet is running the 2.3 version of the Android OS.
The rest of its features are equally basic, as the Arnova 9 G2 comes with a mere 4GB of storage, while for application download you will have to rely on the AppsLib app market instead of Google’s official Android Market.
A microSDHC card slot, 802.11b/g WiFi, and an estimated battery life of 6 hours round up the specs of this budget Archos offering, according to liliputing.
If this sounds OK to you, head on over to PC Richard & Son to get it for $229.99 (175 EUR).
