ARCHOS, today announces the  ARCHOS 101 XS, a 10.1-inch tablet weighing only 21 ounces and measuring only 8mm thick. The 101 XS will be the first of a new line of extra slim Android tablets to debut mid-September, followed by the release of the ARCHOS 97 XS and ARCHOS 80 XS later in 2012.

The entire Gen10 XS line is Google certified, features Android 4.0 and allows full access to Google PlayT featuring over 600,000 apps. The range will be upgradable to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in Q4 2012.

In addition to creating a new standard of thin for tablets, each model from the Gen10 XS line comes with an innovative Coverboard, a unique magnetic keyboard that will offer protection, a kickstand, docking and easy typing. The Coverboard is included in the box with each tablet.

Combining very high performance hardware, intuitive software and affordability, the ARCHOS 101 XS will be available in mid-September 2012 for £299.99 SRP.

“As the pioneer in the Android tablet market, we strive to continually push the technological boundaries of tablets and user experience,” says Henri Crohas, ARCHOS Founder and CEO. “We are taking our tablets to the next level by releasing an entirely new design that will redefine thin, while providing more functionality and a better price than any current Android tablet in the market.”

4G in the UK – Three are to be in the game

Print

We told you yesterday that Everything Everywhere had got the go-ahead from Ofcom to roll out 4G LTE in the UK this year, but it now seems there has been a development in the favour of Three. Everything Everywhere have today announced that they now have an agreement with Three to dispose of 2X15MHz of its 1800MHz. The disposal is in line with the European Commission’s competitive assessment of the merger of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK in March 2010, and follows the news that Ofcom has approved Everything Everywhere’s request to liberalise its 1800MHz spectrum for 4G LTE services.

Dave Dyson, CEO of Three UK said: “Acquiring this spectrum will more than double the capacity available to customers on our network.  We have seen a huge growth in data consumption with average mobile handset customer usage now more than 1.1GB per month. 

Three has led the market in the significant growth of mobile data consumption and the shift to consumer use of smartphones to access the internet.  New spectrum, supported by further committed technology spend, is a clear signal that we are committed to maintain our lead as the network built for the mobile internet.”

From a consumers point of view this is great news as it will not just be Orange and T-Mobile that initially dominate the UK 4G market. Let’s see what else develops.
