13.3-inch Archos FamilyPad 2 announced, coming soon for €299
Archos has officially announced the FamilyPad 2, on Facebook of all places. This is obviously the successor to the first FamilyPad that was unveiled in November last year and went on sale one month later. For the new tablet, Archos decided to slap its own branding in there, instead of going with the Arnova moniker [...]

Quad-core Archos Platinum tablets officially announced, 11.6-inch Full HD model included
Mere hours after the 11.6-inch member of the family got its details leaked, Archos decided to officially unveil its new Platinum line of tablets.

Archos GamePad will be available in the US in February for $169
The Archos GamePad was announced in August of last year – what seems like a long time ago now. In the meantime, it’s become available in Europe, but so far there’s been no word from the French company on US availability. So you’ll be happy to know that there’s a rough time frame set. The [...]
Archos announces three more Titanium dual-core tablets with Jelly Bean, priced from $119
Archos has just revealed that it has been working on an entire range of Titanium tablets. The first one of those to get unveiled was the Archos 97 Titanium HD, which incidentally is also the most expensive of the bunch, since it packs a ‘Retina-like’ display with 2048×1536 resolution. However, it isn’t the sole representative [...]

About three months after we first told you about its existence, Archos’ Arnova-branded FamilyPad has finally been officially announced by the French company.

Archos has added yet another Android tablet to its roster today, the Archos 80 Cobalt. As its name implies, this is an 8-inch tablet.

Archos has a new 9.7 inch Android tablet – the 97 Xenon, which has been introduced today, not long after the company released the 97 Carbon.

The Archos 101 XS is now available to buy via the French company’s online stores in Europe. Not so in the United States, at least not yet. If you’re in the UK, you’ll need to pony up £299.99 for the device (get it here). Elsewhere in the EU, the price has been set at €379.99 (choose your [...]
Archos announces a gamepad wrapped around a 7″ Android 4.0 tablet, calls it GamePad
The newly unveiled Archos GamePad is just that: a gamepad. Wrapped around a 7-inch Android tablet. With actual gaming buttons and all that. Archos is rather well known for thinking outside the box (ChildPad, anyone?), and its latest tablet is no exception. The GamePad’s intentions are pretty clear: rule the tablet gaming space. And with [...]
Archos has an 11.6-inch Full HD XS tablet in the works for early 2013. Smaller XS tablets get priced
As part of its XS lineup of 10th generation (G10) Android tablets, Archos is also apparently hard at work on an 11.6-inch offering. The French company wouldn’t be the first one rumored to tackle tablet sizes over 10 inches, but its 116 XS will probably be the cheapest in that space. It’s easy to dismiss [...]

Archos’ Arnova FamilyPad spotted at the FCC touting its 13.3-inch touchscreen
Archos’ even lower-cost brand, Arnova, is set to launch a huge tablet. Literally. The Arnova FamilyPad was just spotted doing its thing over at the FCC, and it’s got a 13.3-inch touchscreen. No typo there. Arnova already sells the ChildPad, which is obviously geared towards appeasing the younger masses. With the FamilyPad, presumably the company [...]
Archos ChildPad finally goes capacitive, joins us in the 21st century
The ChildPad made by Archos and branded Arnova (that’s the French company’s even lower cost brand) finally received a capacitive touchscreen. The resistive touchscreen employed so far was one of the only big letdowns concerning Archos’ first children-focused tablet. But now that’s gone, and the ChildPad is even more interesting than before. Especially because this [...]
Archos teases G10 xs tablet, announcement coming in three weeks
After releasing the 97 Carbon a few days ago, Archos is ready for its next Android adventure. The French company will unveil its latest flagship tablet in about three weeks.

If you own one of Archos’ G9 tablets, this is a happy day for you. And even if you don’t, the French [...]
7-inch Archos ChildPad with Android ICS costs just $129, arrives at the end of March
Every phone and tablet maker out there is constantly trying to invent new niches – and fill them with its own offerings. This though is different. Archos is now trying to get into the ‘tablet for kids’ niche, which in itself is very young at the moment. Furthermore, the French company is actually quite smart [...]
