Archos has unveiled a new internet tablet in the UK. The tablet is called the Archos 70b internet tablet. The 70b is an upgrade to the earlier Archos 70 tablet, adding Android 3.2 Honeycomb. With Google’s latest Android operating system for tablets, ARCHOS claims the 70b tablet offers faster and smoother transitions between different applications, and more intuitive navigation to and from home screens.
