Hmmm. Not bad, considering the price.

What would really make me salivate is if it has an IPS screen like the Fire. Given it's lack of mention, I'm thinking not.

Not bad at all. An inexpensive tablet with plain Android AND another OS, good hardware specs and all. Excellent for a daily beater for traveling and such, yet with some videoconferencing abilities as well.

thats all 70% of people realy need in a tablet. Go Archos

If somebody could develop a cheap comics reader tablet, large size, like 12" or little more. Slower CPU/GPU, quality screen, super thin, super low power. I'd be grateful 🙂
Upcoming Samsung 12" seems nice, but probably going to be expensive..

Single core? No thanks.

Nook Color is also 512MB RAM, so it's same not double...

The SD slot and the webcam both make it worth considering. I live outside the US and Skype is my only means of communicating with family most of the year, so having a Skype portable device that fits easily in my pocket, but which is bigger than a phone/ Ipod would be tempting to me. I have been using the Fire and it is ok but could certainly be better with an SD slot and a camera. You could cheaply expand onboard memory to 32GB with the SD slot.

Sounds promising. GPS was not mentioned. Not available or just not mentioned ?
I think GPS capability is essential in a device designed to travel with you. The instant 'I am lost' help in your pocket. Hey, it may even get us guys to 'ask for directions' 🙂

I don't know how Archos does it, but they continuously pump out cheap, no-frills tablet that sport decent specs!
