by Dave Thornton - on Feb 15th 2012 - No Comments

Archos was making touchscreen tablets well before the iPad existed, but that doesn’t mean the company operates in the shadow of Apple’s device any less than the next competitor. Now Archos is aiming to step out from that darkness with the 80 G9 tablet. With a 1080p screen, HDMI output and speedy 1-GHz ARM processor, the 80 G9 will likely turn heads given its $299 price tag. But how does it compare with the increasingly crowded market of budget tablets? Read more after the break. (more…)

AMD x86 Based Tablet Shown Running ICS

by James Forestier - on Jan 24th 2012 - No Comments

 

While ARM architecture dominates the mobile scene. The x86 architecture dominates the home desktop. Windows, Linux, and even Apple’s Mac run on it. Because of this Android being open source, it was only a matter of time before Android started appearing on x86 based devices. The brave souls over at the Android-x86 Project  have developed an Android build that runs on the AMD powered MSI WindPad.

The build is based off of the latest version of Android, Ice Cream Sandwich. It is currently in beta so don’t expect that everything will work perfectly at this stage. If you don’t happen to have a WindPad, the Android-x86 Project also has Android builds for a number of different computers, mostly netbooks. If you’re feeling up to tinkering with Android on your netbook, give their download page a look.
