But now? Now two Android-wielding Archos Home Tablets will each cost only about $200.

This April, a 2GB model (we really hope there's an SD card slot) goes on sale for about $200 overseas.

The screen to case ratio isn't fantastic, but the cooking software already has me mentally placing the Archos 8 into my kitchen. It should be available overseas this May for about $200.
It should be noted that both tablets have Arm9 CPUs that won't be blazing fast. And each will probably be launched in the US, eliminating the need for an import.
