Touchscreen Tablet Review: Archos 80 G9 Honeycomb

Following the 10.1-inch version, the 101 G9, here's our review of the Archos 80 G9 tablet, running on Android 3.2 Honeycomb and in an 8-inch, 4:3 format.

Here we have the new 8-inch version of the latest generation of Archos' Android touchscreen tablets. This 80 G9, like the 10.1-inch (101 G9), also includes a less powerful chip than initially announced, the Texas Instruments OMAP 4430 clocked at 1 GHz rather than the 4460 at 1.5 GHz. The 1.5 GHz version will be out next January, following a 1.2 GHz version that will be rolled out across the board for G9 tablets in the forthcoming weeks.

The 80 G9 nevertheless comes onto the market at equivalent power to the touchscreen tablets already on the market. To accompany its processor, Archos has supplied this machine with 512 MB of RAM and, on our model, 8 GB of storage.
