Archos flashes 7c Android tablet, brags about its 1.2GHz clock speed

After taking a breather from cranking out new tablets, Archos is at it again, this time with the Archos 7c Home Tablet, a 7-inch number that ARMdevices.net caught on camera during a trip to the corporate’s Chinese outpost. This slate packs a Cortex A8 processor and RK2918 chipset, which the rep quaintly says is “faster than any chipset you’ll find” — you realize, due to its 1.2GHz clock speed and all. Alas, it runs Android Gingerbread (2.3) and never Honeycomb (3.0), so that you’ll ought to perform a little hacking to get your Android Market fix. Although the 7c has a capacitive display, the girl leading the demo appears to jab at browser links together with her finger — a throwback to a few less-than-responsive resistive screens we’ve tested. At the bright side, 1080p video plays smoothly — not less than inside the few seconds before the camera pans away. The 7c is headed to the united states and Europe in June for an unknown price, but for you can now head past the break to work out it in action.
