Archos Arnova GBook heads to the FCC, may have literary ambitions

Archos Arnova GBook heads to the FCC, may have literary ambitions

Archos makes regular stops at the FCC. We recognize this. When it passes an Arnova-badged componentcalled the GBook through the United States agency, however, that piques our interest. The name immediately suggests a reading-friendly Android tablet in the vein of the Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet, but there’s nothing in the method of images and details to make a definitive judgment call. The hand-friendly little design and the 802.11 n WiFi inside just fuel those suspicions, nevertheless. We do not see ideas in the screening as to when the Arnova GBook might reach shops; that stated, the looming back-to-school and holiday periods may have some sway in getting the gadget to bookworms quicker instead of later on.

Arnova launches 8b G2 slate, hopes to keep it cheap

Arnova launches 8b G2 slate, hopes to keep it cheap
Arnova isn’t exactly a newcomer when it comes to dealing with budget-friendly tabs, already having produced the 9 and 10 G2s. The outfit’s newest addition to its tablet lineup is simply dubbed 8b G2, honoring its 8-inch, 800 x 600, TFT display. Coming in what some could consider “last year’s specs,” the slate’s packing a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, a front-facing shooter, microSD slot for extra storage (4 or 8GB built-in) and a predictably outdated piece of Gingerbread. Presumably price will be its best asset — Arnova hasn’t given us a figure but, if it’s predecessor is a telling sign, we can’t imagine you’d part ways with more than 200 bucks.

Philly newsies to offer Archos Arnova 10 G2 tablet for $99 with subscription bundle

Taking a cue from other publications pushing tablet content, two major Philadelphia newspapers are offering discounted subscriptions bundled with a discounted device to read it on — the Android-based Arnova 10 G2. The Philadelphia Media Network and Arnova will offer the tablet for $ 99 when purchased with a two-year digital subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News for $ 9.99 a month, or $ 129 for the year. That tally is substantially lower than the HK $ 1,680 (around $ 250) mark that the slate alone hit when it launched last month, but it’s not apt to attract too much attention outside of Brotherly Love’s favorite locale. So… which paper’s lined up to play copycat?

Meet Philly’s New Android-Powered Newspaper: The Arnova 10 G2

archos-arnova-10-g2

The Philadelphia Media Network has had an ambitious summer: in July, the company announced their intention to sell subsidized Android tablets with subscriptions to the digital editions of Philly’s two daily papers. August was presumably spent sourcing hardware and working on the apps, and now that summer is over, PMN is ready to reveal the fruits of their labor.

Unlike Tribune’s plan to have a tablet made specifically for their newspapers, PMN chose from readily available tablets and went with the Arnova 10 G2. While the no-name brand implies cheapo Android tab roots, Arnova tablets are actually made by venerable PMP manufacturer Archos. No mention of device specs were made in the announcement, but a little digging reveals that it packs a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 10-inch (duh) display running at 1024 by 600. The Arnova 10 G2 also runs on Gingerbread, which is a bit of a heartbreak for Philadelphians looking for some inexpensive Honeycomb love.

PMN is offering the Arnova on two contract tiers: those who want read the Inquirer and the Daily News for two years play $ 99 for the tablet, and a $ 10/mo subscription fee. People who would rather keep their contract terms as short as possible can ink a one year deal for $ 13/mo, and pay $ 129 for the tab. The total outlay comes out to $ 339 on a two year term, and $ 285 on a one year, so please Philadelphia — just get the one year subscription.

The apps in question are full digital replicas of the Inquirer and the Daily News, and subscribers are also given access to a multimedia app that expands the news experience with photo galleries and videos. Considering that getting both dailies on your doorstep (including Sundays) for a year would easily cost over $ 500 a year, the deal looks mighty sweet, even with slightly lackluster hardware.

It’s a gutsy move for the Philadelphia Media Network (they are the first to officially commit to a tablet venture), and maybe one that’s necessary in light of recent trends. With newspapers losing readers to always-on news sources, providing that same kind of real time access to their content means that PMN’s papers can continue to fight for relevance. There are 5,000 tablets waiting to ship to subscribers as soon as tomorrow, and if the first wave goes well, PMN will try and expand the program further on Black Friday 2011.

Archos’ Arnova 7 G2 and 10 G2 tablets launch in Hong Kong, taste like Gingerbread

It looks like Archos’ summer of the sequels is just heating up. Less than a week ago, we spied the outfit’s 8-incher at the FCC, and now our brethren at Engadget Chinese are offering up a hands-on with two more second-gen Arnovas: the Arnova 7 G2 and 10 G2. These made-over slates best their predecessors with Gingerbread and capacitive touchscreens. The original 7-inch tablet ran Froyo while its big brother came with Eclair; both sported resistive displays. The pair will also see a spec bump in the processor department, with the inclusion of a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 — likely the same processor found in their 8-inch sibling. While we do have Hong Kong pricing — HK$ 1,680 (or $ 215 US) and HK$ 1,980 (about $ 250 US) — we’ve yet to land a release date. So, for now, we’ll just stick with “coming soon to a retailer near you?” If the wait is too much to bear, hop on past the break for some hands-on love from our Chinese counterparts.

Archos Arnova 8 G2 tablet makes FCC appearance, gets friendly with metal yardsticks

What’s the summer without a sequel or two? Archos’s latest entry in the eight-inch Android tablet game hit the FCC this week, sporting Gingerbread, 4GB of storage, an SD slot, and a 1GHz processor. The slate should be available later this month, carrying a price tag of between $ 180 and $ 200 — that’s a price bump over its insanely affordable predecessor, but hey, sequels always cost more, right?

Archos Arnova 7 hits the FCC, brings new hope to penny-pinching tablet enthusiasts

Archos Arnova 7 hits the FCC, brings new hope to penny-pinching tablet enthusiasts

For those who like their Android tablets cheap, it looks like Archos is ready to unleash yet another budget-friendly addition to the Arnova family stateside. The Arnova 7 slate has just graced the FCC, accompanied by the requisite confidentiality requests, which means we won’t get any real-deal shots of the thing, nor a full list of specs, but we did get a rather nice sketch of the WiFi tablet via the good old label-placement diagram. If that outline’s got you all worked up, the Arnova 7′s already received some pricing and spec details overseas, rocking a €99 price tag, 800×480-pixel display, and Android 2.2. Now we’ll just have to wait and see how that translates when the Arnova 7 makes its way across the pond.

Archos Arnova 8 and 10 tablets hit the bargain bin (video)

We know, Archos already makes fairly cheap tablets, but believe it or not, the company’s going after an even cheaper segment with its new Arnova 8 and 10. The two have been popping up all around the web — they stopped by the FCC earlier this week and there was an early spec leak from a Russian site — but now we’re finally getting some real details and hands-on impressions courtesy of Charbax, who is quite possibly the biggest Archos fan in the world. The $ 199 10.1-inch Arnova 10, which we have to say looks a lot like the Archos 101, packs a 600MHz Rockchip RK2818 processor, resistive touchscreen, 8GB of storage, and Android 2.1 — but before you gag, know that there should also be a 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 Rockchip RK 2918 / capacitive touchscreen version coming in April. Meanwhile, the 8-inch Arnova 8 rings up at $ 150 with the same processor and resistive touchscreen, but only 4GB of storage. If the cut corners don’t faze you and you’re in the mood for a closer look, we suggest you hit the break for some Charbax video originals.
