First Budget Honeycomb Tablet - Archos Gen9 8" Tablet
Archos To make it into the budget Honeycomb zone, you have to choose the smaller 8Gb of Flash memory and the smaller 8" screen. But maybe that's not such a bad size after all. The screen resolution is the same as the iPad's at 1024x768. There's also a compromise on the RAM memory as it has only 512Mb - again the same as the iPad, but many of the other Honeycomb tablets have twice as much RAM (1Gb). There's a "turbo" version promised for next year and there are quite a few more expensive options You do get good video playback and HDMI output for your TV (although HDMI transfer of Macrovision®-protected contents is restricted). There's also GPS and a compass. And you get the option (later) to buy a 3G dongle which fits into a cunning slot on the back. And a kick-stand!
