Archos has updated its Archos 70 7in Android tablet, upping the CPU speed, the touchscreen and the OS.

The 70b gets Android 3.2 Honeycomb - the current 70 has 2.2 Froyo - and a 1.2GHz processor, up from its predecessor's 1GHz chip. Archos said it had doubled the Ram to 512MB.

The screen is still 7in, but now its 1024 x 600 not 800 x 480.

Like the 70, the 70b has 2.4GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi, HDMI output and 8GB of Flash storage. It'll cost £180/$199 when it ships in… well, Archos isn't saying when. ®
