As hinted earlier, the second-generation gaming tablet is a big improvement over the original (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/06/archos-gamepad-now-shipping-android-gaming-handheld/). The 7-inch slate is now better-suited to modern games through its sharper 1,280 x 800 IPS display, a quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 chip and 2GB of RAM. Archos has also improved the control responsiveness, upgraded to Android 4.2 and stuffed in a bigger battery for extended play sessions. The GamePad 2 reaches Europe by the end of October for €180 ($243), and will be available in the US sometime during the fourth quarter for $200.
