Archos 80 Titanium contender for Apple Mini

The iPad Mini is Apple's answer to the growing 7-inch tablet PC market. Now, Archos 80 Titanium is challenging the iPad Mini. According to CNET :

The tablet houses a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, a quad-core graphics processor, and 1GB of RAM. It sports a stylish aluminum back casing and a 1,024x768-pixel resolution IPS screen. 

The 80 Titanium also comes with 8GB of internal storage with a microSD expansion slot, a 0.3-megapixel front camera, and 2-megapixel rear camera. It also has Micro-USB and Mini-HDMI ports. 

The Archos 8-inch tablet will possibly compete against the iPad Mini. Its stylish, lightweight design and 1,024x768-pixel-resolution IPS screen are comparable with the iPad Mini's, but the 80 Titanium costs considerably less.

 The price will be $169, with availability this April. The tablet will run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. So it is not too far behind the leading 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
