The Archos 101 is the 10-inch tablet Android needed in 2010. Thin, light and affordable priced at $ 319 (8GB) and $ 365 (16GB), the Archos 101 is the first decent Android 2.2 presentation we’ve seen on a screen iPad format.

Unfortunately, Archos’ timing is terrible. The 10-inch tablets making headlines these days are all running Android 3.0 (honeycomb) and the Archos 101 is making no promises to support the latest, greatest OS from Google. Still, if you’re looking for a 10-inch tablet – you need it now, and you need it cheap – the Archos 101 is not a bad way to go.

Unlike most of the Android tablets we’ve seen in the aftermath of the iPad, the Archos 101 looks really good next tablet from Apple. Similar size at about 10.5 inches wide, 6 inches high and 0.33 inches thick, the Archos 101 feels like a real tablet – not an oversized smartphone.

The first thing you notice about the Archos 101 is how light it is. At about 16 grams, it weighs about the same as a pint of beer and is noticeably lighter than the iPad. How Archos was able to achieve this light weight is no secret, though. Instead of aluminum and glass construction used on the iPad, the Archos design and construction is mostly plastic bends easily under pressure. True, tablets are relatively fragile devices inherently, but the 101 wins no points for robustness.

Another design detail that experienced Android users will notice is the Archos 101′s lack of tactile navigation buttons. Perhaps Google’s prediction of a move of all navigation buttons to the touch screen in Android 3.0, Archos has adapted Android 2.2 with on-screen buttons for home, back, menu, run the right of the screen. The end result is really ideal for tablets, as the navigation buttons to refocus, whatever the device is held.

Archos is also a little out of Android script when it comes to connectivity. For better or worse, all of the 101 ports are crowded on the left edge of the device – and, boy, there are a lot of ports. You get standard connections for headphones, an AC adapter and a Micro USB port for syncing with a computer. Archos also throws in a mini-HDMI port for output to a TV and a standard USB host port for connecting an external keyboard or thumb drive.

Also on the Archos 101 is a front-facing camera that both video and photos can shoot at VGA resolution (640×480 pixels). Fring a video chat application is installed that will work with the camera, along with the pinhole microphone found on the same side.

A kick stand is also included, located on the back. The stand folds from the middle and folds out far enough to prop up the tablet in a lightweight (30-degree) angle, which helps with touch-screen typing, but can also be used to the tablet upright to keep videos or a photo slideshow.

So much software goes, you’re looking at a device Android 2.2, minus the comforts of their own apps from Google, including Android Marketplace, Google Mail and Maps. You get the stock Android 2.2 e-mail app and browser, along with remixed versions Archos’ of the Android music player, photo viewer and video player.

As a gesture of peace project, Archos offers its own App Store called AppsLib, for those looking to go through the motions. As we have noted in previous Archos tablet reviews, the content is just not there. It’s like a journey through a flea market. There are plenty of knockoffs and hastily produced games and demos, but the brand names are not around.

What are the interesting hardware features. The Archos 101 has no cellular connectivity or GPS, but you get 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a few rare features that can win over some. For example, you get a full-size USB port that supports attached keyboards and thumbdrives. You will not find on a high-end Android Galaxy Tab tablet and Samsung, and certainly not on the iPad. There is also a mini-HDMI port on the screen to view mirrors on a TV – perfect for playing videos or show off websites.

Of course, not all of the specs are the winners. Despite the IPAD-like size, 101-screen has a poor viewing angle, limited brightness and a 1,024 x600-pixel resolution that does not meet its high-definition video playback capabilities. Video output via an HDMI cable (not supplied) maxes out at a decent 720p HD. Another disappointment is the lack of full support for Adobe Flash 10. It’s a complaint we make about tablets twice the price of the Archos 101 – but whatever you think you will buy, it is frustrating to come across broken Flash player while browsing the web.

Conclusion

The Archos 101 Android 2.2 tablet is not the fastest, smartest and most impressive tablet we’ve seen. It’s big and cheap, and Android provides core functionality with a few bells and whistles (HDMI, USB host), but for the most part is an obsolete instrument with a limited use for Web browsing and e-mail.

If I were Microsoft, I would politely ask you not to the Archos Archos 9 Sell. This tablet is not only its creators look bad, it does not look like it on Windows 7 touch-enabled PCs are. Sure, this 8.9-inch Tablet has IPAD is missing some features, such as Flash support, an integrated camera and a USB port. But their resistive touch screen is frustrating to use (at least without the flimsy stylus), the device is overheated, and it is slow as-a-few-second takes-to-pull-up-the-volume control slowly. Archos recently upgraded the processor on his slate, but that’s not nearly enough to save this dud.

The Archos 9 is really not so bad, before you turn it on. The 1.8-pound unit has a robust feeling still measures only 0.7 centimeters thick. Around the display bezel is an attractive brushed metal, and around again to find the stylus slot and a convenient stand-kick a nice gesture, if you want to watch online videos or surf the web without operating the device.

Starting on the left front side of the Archos 9 a 1.3-megapixel camera, a shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + Delete by default) and a button to Archos on-screen keyboard found. The left and right buttons are at the beginning of stacked with other such controls. The left side houses the power button and a tiny optical mouse, which we found too slow and picky.

The outer left edge of the Archos 9 has a single USB port and microphone and headphone jacks, while the right side has a switch to replace the battery. To complete the design will be an expansion port for the optional port replicator on the bottom.

They watch as spinning circles? Then you’ll love the Archos 9th It did not take to the lowly PCMark Vantage score of 729 see-that about half the typical netbook to know, that the 1.2-GHz Intel Atom Z515 processor and 1 GB of RAM mean it would not be possible to keep Windows 7 Starter. There was considerable delay in moving opening and closing applications and Web pages was slow. to fight the Archos Flash 9 particularly on sites like Hulu. Playback was started decent episodes once (not in full screen mode), but up and down the page with nothing going on in the background almost brought things to a halt.

The 4,200 rpm, 60 GB hard drive of the Archos 9 is another bottleneck. The transfer time of 6.7 Mbit s is almost a full 10 MBps behind the average of the netbook category, and the 1:20 boot time is 20 seconds slower than the average netbook. To be fair, this device is a tablet and not a netbook, but if Apple is faster solid-state memory for $ 50 and less supply on the IPAD, then users should expect more money for snappier performance elsewhere.

Surprisingly, the Archos 9 Skype video calls was handled fairly well, and we might slightly different from the caller. They said we sounded good and the colors were right, but that the picture was dark and dirty.

Archos, which we have not heard from the calculations by which, as they called the Archos has released 10 (with a loud bang earlier this year) into being quiet is another netbook, the 10s.

The good news is that there is a sleeker design: a stone that had 10 in accordance with black interior with a flat putty-colored lid has the 10s has a clean-looking white keyboard (not unlike Samsung Netbook), which in Size seems to expand, too.
