ARCHOS 97 Carbon Android tablet now available

Remember the ARCHOS 97 Carbon tablet that we introduced earlier this month? Well, after visiting the FCC, it looks like the entry-level tablet is now up for grabs at the ARCHOS store. It features a 9.7” 1024 x 768 multitouch display, a 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Micro USB port, USB 2.0 port, 3.5mm audio jack, HDMI output, WiFi, 0.3-megapixel front facing camera, 2-megapixel rear camera, microphone and G-sensor.

The ARCHOS 97 Carbon is available now and will set you back $249.99. Personally I haven’t given it a go, but for the same price you can get the very capable Google Nexus 7 which despite having a smaller screen, has a better processor, higher resolution display and runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
