The 8″ Archos G9 80 is an interesting tablet because its very close to the Apple iPad in design because of its 4:3 ratio, but at just £199 it costs half the price. It also contains one of the most powerful chips on the market today running the Texas Intruments OMAP4 dual-core processor at 1GHz .

First impression on this device is that it’s thin, it’s really nice to hold, and a low price point would send this tablet into the record books for best selling tablet in the history of the world – sort of. The interesting thing about this little monster is that it’s one of the only dual-core Android tablets on the market that isn’t Nvidia.
The Archos G9 80 has a 1024×768-pixel screen resolution and a Seagate’s 7mm Momentus Thin with a 250GB capacity. The question about this set up is how a power-hungry HDD will do in tablet form factor and is it drop proof?
If you want to check out the unboxing to get a good idea of what is going on with the Archos G9 80 tablet we’ve got it below. If you want the review, Tabletblog.de will have another english video for us in a few days!
