Pocket-Lint: The Archos 70b eReader appeared with very little fanfare. Whilst everyone is talking tablets, this 7-inch Android device appears with the eReader label, the second such device the company has made.
Pocket-Lint: Archos has announced an updated version of its Gen 8 tablet, the Archos 70b, adding Honeycomb to the mix and ramping up the spec sheet a bit.
The all-new 70b now packs Android 3.2 and shouldn't be to sluggish thanks to doubling the RAM up to 512MB. There's also a crisper display on offer, its 7-inch screen now comes with a 1024x600 resolution (the original was 800x480).
Pocket-Lint: The Archos 70b eReader cuts a line somewhere between an ebook reader and a tablet. Archos have released a number of Android devices in recent years and this latest addition offers up a 7-inch resistive display and a couple of features specifically with reading in mind.
Battery life isn't great, for this kind of devices should be ... and still more expensive than Kindle...
