Archos 7 Home Tablet now available

51RJUPRkSsL._AA300_I just wanted to drop a quick note, letting you know that the Archos 7 Home Tablet is now available for order on Amazon.com.  The product page also went live at Archos.com.  I think this device has some potential.  It’s certainly the right price, at $199.99.  I don’t think it’s an “iPad killer” though.

I am not sure how good this is going to be especially with the fact that its running Android 1.5. Really should have tried to get 2.1 on this to make it more appealing but nevertheless this is a big step in the way of coming to be an 'iPad Killer'.
