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.”
