14 DAY TRIAL // If you are looking for a faster than average Android tablet that won’t break your bank, Archos has you covered with the Turbo edition of the Archos 101 G9, which recently popped up in France.
Compared to the 1.2GHz version that is available right now in the US, the Turbo model swaps this SoC for a faster clocked 1.5GHz dual-core processor.
As you would expect, this makes the tablet slightly faster than before, and means that the Archos 101 G9 Turbo is one of the first devices to ship with a 1.5GHz TI OMAP 4460 processor, according to Liliputing.
Apart from the 1280x800 screen and the 250GB of storage space provided by a Seagate HDD, Archos’ tablet also packs a built-in GPS, a microSD card slot, mini-HDMI output and a built-in battery that is said to deliver 7 hours of continuous video playback.
WiFi and Bluetooth are also standard and the tablet runs the 3.2 version, aka Honeycomb, of the Android OS, with ICS being expected to arrive soon.
Pricing and availability outside of France are still unknown.
