The $179 price is appealing--and we dig the kickstand--but the Archos 70b simply isn't fast enough and doesn't last long enough on a...

The diminuitive Archos 70b internet tablet is a mixed bag. We appreciated the look and feel of the device, as well as the Android Honeycomb operating system and battery life. But we just couldn’t stop ourselves being slightly underwhelmed by the...

The colour screen on the Archos 70b eReader may be better for flicking through photographs then, but apart from that it brings nothing to the party. We'd rather have a traditional e-ink eReader, with a much longer battery life and quick responses....

De 70b biedt uiteindelijk perfect wat je zou verwachten voor een Android-tablet van dit prijspunt. Het is zeker niet volmaakt, maar als je dat wilt moet je nu eenmaal meer uitgeven. Alleen is de vraag of je niet beter de sprong maakt naar een of ander...

Cet appareil hybride, mi-tablette, mi-liseuse, n’offre certes pas le meilleur des deux mondes. Lire, regarder une vidéo, surfer ou consulter ses e-mails reste toutefois tout à fait possible et ce, de façon assez confortable. Pour 89...

Archos est en perte de vitesse évidente ces derniers temps. Pourtant, la firme Française est loin d’avoir dit son dernier mot, et ne manque pas une occasion de se diversifier. La preuve cette fois avec ce 70 eReader, un eBook reader aux...
