Archos Arnova 7″ Tablet for $99 is coming soon!

A new tablet is coming in the form of a $99 device named the Archos Arnova 7″. Now, I’ve had a $99 dollar tablet before namely one from CVS/pharmacy and it really was bad. The buttons on the tablet messed up the first day and it couldn’t even play Angry birds. :( However, this manufactuer on this one is Archos. Which is known for making great tablets and with this $99 tablet I’d hope it’d be the same great quality. But for $99 some of the quality must have had to be downgraded to warrant the price, right? Well, no one knows the processor speed yet (expect Archos of course) but here are the specs straight from the company:
