New Gadget 2011

Our friends at the FCC has been keeping themselves busy lately, what with many more smartphones and a zillion tablets going through their doors each day. Well, certainly their job is not an enviable one if you're swamped with a constant stream of gadgets (work, they call it), but once in a while something interesting would drop by their way � and the Archos Arnova 8 G2 tablet is certainly one of them. Hitting the FCC this week, this will be an 8? Android-powered tablet that will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread right out of the box � which means you will still have to wait for Android 3.0 Honeycomb to arrive as a software update if you want to maximize its lifespan as a tablet.

4GB of internal memory can be further augmented through the use of an SD memory card slot, while everything ought to chug along just fine with its 1GHz processor. No concrete release date is available just yet, but we are looking at sometime later this month, where it will retail anywhere from $180 to $200 � which is more expensive than its predecessor, but since this is newer, perhaps the innards and quality justifies the price increase. Right?
