CeBIT 2011 will be this year the ”Heart of the digital world” and it will house the biggest IT names which will launch new products and projects. French supplier of electronic devices, Archos has chosen an exhibition CeBIT for the release of e-books with seven-inch color touch screen. The Archos Arnove 7ob will retail in Europe for €129 or about US$179 including VAT. The Archos Arnova will runs Android 2.1 Eclair.
The configuration includes 4 GB flash memory which can be expanded via SDHC. In addition to reading (including materials in both PDF and EPUB), the unit provides playback of sound recordings and video recordings, as well as access to web-resources using a wireless Wi-Fi 802.11b/g. It also features USB port, which serves only to communicate with the PC (for charging the batteries you need to use the charger).
According to the manufacturer, one battery charge will power seven hours of video playback. When viewing web-pages the number goes up to eight hours, and you can read books for more than ten hours.
However, Archos does have its own app store, AppsLib, with over 10,000 apps. For those who just have to have Android Market onboard, there is no need to get too turned off the Arnova. The fan forum ArchosFans had already rescued previous Archos Android tablets from a Market less fate, with their gApps4Archos.apk, software that will enable the Android Market to work when it is sideloaded onto the tablets.
