Hasta La Gadget!

Earlier in the year, when Archos brought the Archos 7 Home Tablet to market, we noted its attractive price but some of you questioned its skimpy features. Apparently Archos got the message, and has announced the Archos 70 Internet Tablet, complete with a 250GB hard drive, 7-inch screen, and 1GHz processor under the hood. The Archos 70 will run Android 2.2 “Froyo” and support 720p HD video playback. 

The tablet will be a half-inch thick and weigh in at 14-ounces, making it thin and relatively light, considering the physical hard drive inside. Archos says the device will have HDMI out, and support Flash. 

Archos has also given a number of Android apps a facelift for the tablet form factor, and will give you access to the AppsLib as opposed to the Android App Market, and come with its own music and media player, as opposed to the recently leaked update to the pre-installed one.

All of the features in the Archos 70 will come at a price though; this 7-inch tablet will set you back $349.99 at retail, and is available to purchase at Archos’ Web site. The tablet will also be on the show floor at CES 2010 in Las Vegas next week.
