Archos A28 Android-powered Device Visits The FCC

on 08/16/2010, filed in Home > Gadgets

Archos has been busy sending its products to the FCC recently, and after the Archos 32, next up is the Archos A28, which is a smaller Android-powered tablet that sports a 2.8-inch touchscreen display that supports both portrait and landscape orientations. The FCC filing doesn’t provide too much information about the device, but we do know that it sports Wi-Fi b/g/n and possibly 8GB of internal storage via a Sandisk iNAND flash module. With a small 2.8-inch display, it’ll be interesting to see if there is enough room for a virtual keyboard to be useful.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.
