The new Archos slab is fitted with Android Honeycomb (v3.2) – its first by the way – instead of ICS upon its debut at CES 2012.

The Archos 70B is slim, lightweight and provides portable internet access to tech users. Coupled with its pre-loaded apps, the internet tablet has native access to Android Market providing additional applications to would-be owners. The device comes with a 512MB RAM, 8GB built-in storage, WiFi connectivity, 1.2 GHz processor, 7-inch capacitive touchscreen panel (with 1024 x 600 resolution), HDMI, microSD slot and offers multi-tasking, 3D gaming capability as well as multimedia viewing.
Users who are looking for inexpensive slates, other than Kindle Fire (costs $199) and Nook Tablet (costs $249), now have another option to check. And although both Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet have higher CPU variant (dual core processors), the 70B has a more tablet-optimized platform compared (Honeycomb versus Gingerbread).
Wait until CES Las Vegas in January for the final verdict.
