Archos 7

The Archos 7 is a largely plastic tablet. If it looks curiously familiar, it may be because you're familiar with Archos's 7 Home Tablet, released last year. It's the direct successor to that cheaper gadget, bumping-up the CPU from a 600MHz model to a 1GHz chip and running Android 2.2 FroYo rather than the now-aged Android In a rare move for an Android device, a 250GB hard drive edition of the Archos 7 is available alongside the flash memory 8GB and 16GB options. The model we looked at was the lowly 8GB edition, but if you're out for a bargain basement tablet, this is likely to be the one you're eyeing-up anyway. Aesthetically the Archos 7 is a scaled-down version of the Archos 101. Its front features two shades of grey, a shiny screen surround and a more textured finish for the edges, which function as hand grips. In-laid into each of these grips are holes for the sound of the stereo speakers to escape out of. At maximum volume, they provide enough clout to watch some video in bed happily but they can't contend with much ambient noise. Naturally, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack on its body that can also be used as an output for external speakers.
