Archos G9 Tablets – 8″ and 10″ dual-core Honeycomb updates

Archos has been churning out the Android tablets for longer than most, but has yet to come up with a proper contender. But that MAY CHANGE thanks to its third-generation of Android devices, the Archos 80 G9 and Archos 101 G9.

One's an eight-incher, the other a ten-incher, both running Android 3.1 with a stonking 1.5GHz dual-core OMAP4 processor inside. They'll both arrive in two hardware formats – a slimmer model with 32GB of flash memory, or a slightly fatter unit with a 250GB hard drive inside.
