Archos 43 Internet Tablet, $199 4.3″ Android Tablet

Posted by Charbax on September 2nd, 2010

This 130gr super compact FWVGA 854×480 Android 2.2 tablet with ARM Cortex A8 1ghz 45nm omap3630. Although it’s a resistive touch screen, it is the most reactive and best looking resistive touch screen that I have seen thus far. This Android 2.2 device is extremely compact, offering comparable Android 2.2 experience to the HTC EVO and Droid X, though at a fraction of the price, for $199 for the 16GB model, it comes with HDMI output and support for all video codecs at up to 720p and with pretty high bitrates even for advance profile encodings. In this video I also try to demonstrate some of the performance for web browsing.

    does the camera have a low light sensor?

    I'm guessing the answer is no, but I'll ask anyway: do you know is the Archos 43 features a GPS?

  • Agenuineg

    terrific. When will it be available?

    Later this month already.

    No not built in. But perhaps it can take GPS info if you tether it with a Mifi 3G modem or a Bluetooth mobile phone with A-GPS or GPS in it. Reason being GPS is very slow if you don't help the GPS with 3G, so they decided to just remove GPS on this non-3G model instead of requiring people wait more than 30 seconds to get GPS lock.

    We need to test that.

    Is there anyway to use the camera as webcam?

  • Dais

  • AthrunApl

    awesome :D

  • http://ARMdevices.net/ Charbax

    Maybe.

  • http://ARMdevices.net/ Charbax

    Yes with the appropriate app for that. But consider the camera on Archos 43 is only back-facing one, not a front-facing one. Only the larger Archos 70 and 101 tablets have front-facing cameras (and no back-facing on those).
