The Archos 101 Tablet – Anticipation is building, perchance?
Posted by PC
We are receiving a phenomenal amount of enquiries for the Archos 101 tablets, both the 8GB and 16GB versions. As we write these are due to hit us at the end of Novemeber, but please please bookmark the links to keep abreast - we'll post latest ETAs on here in the blogs and on the product pages themselves.
So what is it that causing all the hype?
Is it a "cheap" iPad? Is it the allure of super-fast flash storage? Or is it the anti-Apple brigade wanting to move in to the pad market without paying homage (and cash) to Apple themselves?
Whatever the reason, keep your eyes peeled at Cleverboxes.com for your fix of the latest tablet and pad technology!
Archos 101, The ARCHOS 10.1″ internet tablet, In stock box shot
Posted by admin
The Archos 101, we've taken delivery and will be shipping today for a lucky few
We've finally taken delivery of the long awaited Archos 101 internet tablet.
We should have more stock very soon, call us for more information 01254 238 749
The Archos 101, it comes with a massive 1024 x 600 pixel screen, putting it on a par with the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
• Size: The Archos 101 is thinner and lighter than an iPad
• Storage: Just like the Galaxy Tab, the Archos 101 is expandable up to 32GB of extra storage via a MicroSD card. Not to mention you can use multiple cards—whereas iPad users are forever limited to the built-in SSD
• Ports/connectivity: this is where the some of the biggest differences exist. The Archos 101 has a webcam, HDMI output, and a USB host port. In contrast, the iPad only includes a proprietary jack for connecting a USB dongle.
• Speed: both use a 1GHZ ARM-designed processor. Where the two devices differ is that the iPad’s GPU is combined onto one die with the processor.
• Kickstand: another nice touch is that it has a built-in kickstand. The iPad has a docking accessory, but it’s nice to be able to prop a tablet without holding it in one hand.
• The Archos 101 comes in 2 flavours Archos 101 Internet Tablet / 8GB or Archos 101 Internet Tablet / 16GB of flash memory, you can also pack in up to 32GB with an extra microSD card, just like the Archos 70.
• It only weighs 480g , which is a lot lighter than the iPad, and we can imagine a longer watching session without the kickstand would really benefit from this additional slimming down.
• The 12mm profile is also ridiculously thin but the built quality is excellent.

We've put this blog post together to give a little insight into this great new product from Archos.

• Ports/connectivity: this is where the some of the biggest differences exist. The Archos 101 has a webcam, HDMI output, and a USB host port. In contrast, the iPad only includes a proprietary jack for connecting a USB dongle.
• Speed: both use a 1GHZ ARM-designed processor. Where the two devices differ is that the iPad’s GPU is combined onto one die with the processor.
