Calm Down, Archos!

The world of Tablet computers is big business at the moment. All the big hitters are announcing new lines or updated models at CES 2013. One manufacturer stands out though. One who seems to have put all their chips in. That company? Archos. They have long been the people who have innovated – remember the Archos 504? Brilliant but way ahead of its time. Now though, they are probably going a bit overboard.

Their latest ‘Titanium’ line (named after their tech prowess, of course) consists of not one, not two, not even three Tablets. I introduce you to the FOUR devices!

All four feature high-def IPS capacitive multi-touch screens with dual-core 1.6GHz CPUs and an unnamed quad-core GPU, running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. They come in a range of sizes, from 7-inches ($119) all the way through 10.1-inches ($199).

One more thing… This one looks a lot like an iPad!
