Archos introduces its new Archos 97 Titanium Android HD tablet

Lately, we've seen a parade of new 7 inch Android tablets hitting the market or preparing to do so. Earlier today, we told you that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was tested on the GLBenchmark site and will probably be introduced at next month's CES 2013 or the following month's MWC 2013. With all of these new 7 inchers, it's nice to see a new full-sized tablet get introduced. And that is what happened with the introduction of the Archos 97 Titanium HD.

A new website devoted to the tablet has gone live, and according to the specs, the tablet will have a 9.7 inch IPS display with resolution of 2048 x 1536. This matches the panel on the third and fourth-generation Apple iPad and offers a 264ppi pixel density. A dual-core 1.6GHz processor is under the hood and 1GB of RAM is on board. The camera on back is 5MP and the one on front is 2MP. There is only 8GB of native storage on board, but that can be bumped up big time with the 64GB capacity microSD slot. Android 4.1 is installed out of the box.

It sounds like competition for the Apple iPhone, although we have no word yet on pricing or availability. What might get some interested in the Archos 97 Titamium HD is that it is apparently running stock Android.
