When ARCHOS first announced its upcoming Android 3.2-powered G9 tablets back in June, we were surprised at the amount of raw power tucked away under the chassis of the duo. A bit has changed since then in way of both price and hardware spec -- but it's still not a huge deviation from the original announcement.

80 G9

The 80 G9, named such for its 8-inch 1024x768 display, will come in three variants, each a step up from the last.

The 8GB variant comes in at the lowest price point of the three at $299, and is the only one to pack a 1GHz processor instead of a 1.5GHz OMAP.

The 16GB and 250GB variants will rock the more powerful 1.5GHz processor and come in at $329 and $369 respectively.

101 G9

The 101 G9 is priced much the same way, except there is no 8GB, 1GHz variant. The 101 features a 10.1-inch 1280x800 display and the same 1.5GHz processor as the more powerful 80 G9s and offers the same storage options, albeit at higher price points: the 16GB version will be $399, while the 250GB variant will be $70 higher at $469.
