Archos 7” Android Tablet. Origami is back!

Posted on 27 January 2010 by Chippy



It’s about time this appeared because it doesnt really make sense that Archos only produce a 5″ version of the Android tablet.

The news came out of the ArchosFans forum and I like the look of it. Just imagine if the first Origami device had had these dimensions and pricing in 2006. It would be a different story today.

    Any chance of an Atom and Windows 7 powered Archos 7? The Archos 9 is too big. I’m not a big fan of Android on anything other than a smartphone. If I’m not using a smartphone then I want a full PC experience.

    This is just about the right size. I hope they use a more standard Android though. I wish them luck in getting this out soon.

    Would that Google bar mean this may have a more standard Android?

    No. Its standard in the latest OS release.

    The 5 is a beautiful bit of kit, so the 7 should be too. Hopefully Archos will get Android 2 and flash on both soon.

    Still the 7 is dead to me. I’ll keep my 5 and get an iPad on day of launch. I hate Macs, but love my iPhone. A big iPhone for the sofa browsing is the device I’ve been waiting for.

    Now if Apple could do a 5″ iPad too…

    Do you have the specs for this one?

    I wish they’d do a 9″ version of their Android lineup as well.
