Archos Arnova 7-inch Child Pad hands-on (video)

It could less than function as the most popular tablet news during the day, but we handled to trap a peek at the Arnova "created by Archos" Child Pad on the ground at CeBIT. Before we had this slate it had been only a render along with a couple of specifications, however we all know a bit more. First, there is a MicroUSB port along with a front-facing camera, so that your little darlings could be uploading pictures to Facebook before that pacifier has dried during the last time. There is a microSD slot too, so that you can stock up an additional 32 gigs of Barney re-runs, when the 4GB internal storage is not enough. The model we had would be a exclusive edition "Alvin" version, which will come pre-packed with bonus chipmunk-related content, for example special styles, wallpapers and, well, you receive the image.

The 7-inch, 800 x 480-pixel touch screen is resistive -- which can be a little of the dirty word nowadays -- but thinking about the intended audience, it's most likely an excellent choice. Our prods and pokes were met responsively enough, and Frozen Treats Sandwich appeared to operate all right around the modest 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor with 1GB of RAM. Archos claims you will get eight hrs of video playback, or 16 hrs of music per battery charge, and that we assume that's using the 802.11b/g wireless switched off. The plastic finish really looks very good, and can wipe free from jam and chips simple. Also, the rear includes a rubberized feel that ought to help prevent it from sliding from individuals juvenile feet. It's penciled set for release in April, and also the real kicker this is actually the cost. The &euro99 (about $129) cost might less than be pocket-change, but it is really close. See Alvin and our hands-on following the break.
