Not long ago, when the main features of the computer table iPad be announced officially, it has quickly become a product would expect of Apple. However, the price is expected to approximately 500 dollars (500 USD, about 9.4 million) of the iPad will probably become a huge obstacle for many who want to own it. In that case, maybe users will be glad to spend half the money to own a product with similar features and accept the processing speed can be reduced by a little.

Archos 7 runs 600MHz ARM processor, 2GB or 8GB memory, long battery life to 44 hours of continuous music player and can surf the Web via Wi-Fi. Archos 7 is about 12mm thick, weighs 350g, is extremely convenient to use "portable" in a long time.

The first impression from eight samples Archos is it is outwardly identical to a frame number (or maybe the manufacturer wanted it always searches the function of the number of frames when not used) with the frame covered with metal. Have the same design and characteristics of the processor as Archos 7, Archos has eight touch-screen width 8 ", at least 4GB of internal memory and more options to connect to peripherals.

With this momentum, not only is the position of iPad iPod Touch can also be seriously threatened.
