Sorry Archos, I went with the Samsung Galaxy Tab (used.)

Back in February Charbax told us the great news about the upcoming super cheap & powerful tablets from Arnova : They were supposed to come with capacitive touch screens, blazing fast RK2919 CPUs, and Gingerbread (Android 2.3)

But it is now ...

Who will sell the Gen 9 tablets?

I don't want to order online - I want to go in to a local store and buy one. Even if I have to order one online, and have it delivered to a local store, that is Ok.

Will the new Archos tablets be sold by: Best Buy? Walmart? Target? Sears? Kmart?

Any other major ...

Do we know how much the new Gen 9 Eight inch tablet will be, without the 250 GB hard drive?

Is it still $300?

Capacitive screen? Check! Much faster CPU? Check! Latest operating 2.0 series system, Gingerbread? Check!

But how much will this cost?

The new Archos 8" Gen9 will be sold soon for $299, and that includes Android Honeycomb 3.2, an even faster CPU with more RAM, and a GPS - plus the official Google ...

It is many months overdue, but finally the upgraded Arnova 8 is almost here!

The Arnova 8 G2 is expected to be an updated version of the Arnova 8, we anticipate the following specifications (to be confirmed)

- 8 inches ...

Uh oh, here's a competitor to the Archos 4.3. Much bigger screen, with dual touch resistive screens (instead of the Gen 8 single touch), and still small enough to put in your pocket or purse.

Devices like this are what Archos needs to compete with soon.
In fact, if this device came with full access ...

Here are the official upgrades to firmware for the Arnova line of tablets.

"The firmware is the operating system. As any computer system, it is periodically updated. We strongly suggest you update yours as soon as the latest one is released."

I may be getting an Android tablet this week (Huawei Ideos S7 Slim) that comes with GPS, Wifi, and the official Android Market .

However, I don't know whether it comes with the popular Google apps pre-installed , such as:

* Google Calendar
* Gmail
* Google Maps
* Google Maps Navigation (Is that ...

Archos, you need a 5" or 7" tablet with GPS! Your new Gen 9 8" and 10" Android tablets look great, and they have great features at an amazing price. However, those new tablets have a large bezel; they are not small.

Many of us are also looking for something small to take on trips, whether into the ...

I have been thinking about purchasing an Android phone with a generous sized screen - at least 3.5" , hopefully 4" - and would like to be able to browse the internet and download apps.

But all of the major phone carries here in the USA charge a huge amount of money. If I want a moderate plan from ...

We finally have a review of the resistive screen, RK2818 Arnova 7 .
No signs of it in any stores yet, however.

Maybe it is nice for the price. But I won't be happy until Arnova ceases production of these slow tablets with the ...

I got tired of waiting for the Arnova and broke down and bought the Coby 7022 today at ToysRus. $179 and a $25 gift card back (net $154) - been playing around with it - seems ok so far but VERY disappointed that it had to come to this. I feel like I've been played by Archos..... :x

What kind of ...

Robert, I completely agree.

I am waiting for the new rk2918/capacitive tablets for my kids. After seeing the Charbax post about a May release, I told my kids I would buy them one when it is available. Here we are in July and the best Archos can muster is a capacitive screen. I am tired of telling ...

Finally, after months of delay, Arnova (Archos) has finally released an updated version of the Arnova 10 tablet :

Arctablet has this review available:

Arnova, Archos little sister company for entry level products has just released the Arnova 10b, a new device that finally brings a capacitive ...

Agreed. I have a desire for a decent tablet sub-200. What are some alternatives? :X

I am with Charbax on this. All four of the ideas he listed seem reasonable. (and the reason for the delay may be two of these reasons, not just one. )

But the good news is that in any of the cases, it still seems ...

So where's the RK2918 based Arnova 8? Seems like they're not exactly running on schedule :(

Yes, that is the one that I might like to buy, as long has it has the capacitive screen and Gingerbread .

Actually, even better would be a RK2918 based Arnova 7 (again, with capacitive screen and ...

Look, the Arnova 10b, Archos 7c and may be some others will be available soon. You can even pre-order them on some French websites now... They can be in stock al ready tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. The Gen9, which will be announced on June 23th is something different and don't expect it to ...

Gen 8 or Gen 9 or both? Should we just give up and buy from another company? I really wanted to buy the new Arnova but the extended wait time is killing me...

You only need to wait two weeks. At that point they will tell us all about new hardware, software, and will likely give approximate ...

the sound of crickets is deafening and there's vapor in the air :lol:
I hope these get released soon and without any price hikes though or I'll probably end up with some chinese tablet.

My guess is that Arnova & Archos re-shifted their priorities to get the new Arnova 7 and Arnova 8.4 out the ...

Well, I am concerned about the MSI - WindPad Enjoy 7. Archos has nothing at this price with a decent CPU and capacitive screen.

You're joking right? Arnova RK2918 capacitive are what windpad enjoy are based on and Arnova being $100 cheaper.

I agree that the Arnova RK2918 capacitive would be a ...
