| Bottom line | The Archos 5 is a great video player, but it disappoints as a premium
Android Internet tablet and GPS unit. | With its excellent design, useful software features, and low starting price, the
Nexus 7 is the cheapest way to experience the best that the Android OS has to offer. | The Archos 5 is a great video player, but it disappoints as a premium
Android Internet tablet and GPS unit. | The Archos 7 Home Tablet isn't going to amaze you with its specs or features, but its low price and core Android features--Web, e-mail, media playback--make it a workable
iPad alternative. | The latest
iPad adds several tweaks and improvements to secure its position at the top of the tablet heap. It's better all around, but third-gen owners need not apply. |
