Budget-minded prices and innovation don't usually go hand in hand, but in the case of its new 101 XS (http://www.engadget.com/tag/g10+xs/) Android 4.0 tablet, Archos has a few tricks up its sleeve. The slate boasts a keyboard cover and kickstand, along with a magnetic hinge allowing the lid to attach to the display.

Do the hardware and software add up to a killer combo? Read on to find out.
