It makes perfect sense for Paris, the city of love, to host an event that will see the launch of a particular range of devices that the world is currently in love with – after all, how else can one explain the phenomenal growth of tablets without the segment showing no signs of abating? We are very sure that the Apple iPad’s design and ease of use have helped the tablet cause amongst the masses considerably, but that doesn’t mean its competitors are not learning the ropes to catch up and eventually, overtaking Cupertino if and where possible. Archos from France is one such company, releasing portable media players in the past with a slew of new Generation 9 Honeycomb tablets at a Paris event this coming June 23rd.
It is said that Archos’ third Android slate will run on an 1.6GHz ARM A9 dual-core chip as well as feature an integrated 3G modem, which means it intends you to go online wherever and whenever you feel like it without subjecting yourself to the mercies of a possible Wi-Fi network.
