Abstract: It's been a while since we published an overview of the current tablet market. With the holidays around the corner, we collected all of the tablets we've tested and that are still available, and created an overview of what's what. If you want to buy a t...
Abstract: This is possibly the best Android Tablet that I have used so far. I will qualify that statement by saying it is most like a standard PC notebook and therefore easiest to use by anyone coming from a PC background to use an Android device....
Last year we were definitely impressed by the Archos 101 G9, so much so that we gave it the Silver Award. The same honours won't be bestowed upon the 101 XS. Archos has not managed to update the hardware enough during the past year to keep up with the c...
