The market hasn’t even fully established itself yet but MID and tablet maker want to put in a bit of differentiation already. The Archos 7 and Archos 8 are touted as home tablets which are highlighted by the more affordable price tag and lower specs.

Archos 7

• 7″ WVGA touchscreen
• 600MHz ARM9 Rockchip 2808 CPU
• 128MB RAM
• 2GB or 8GB
• Android OS
• 802.11b/g WiFi
• USB port, microSD support, built-in speakers
• 7-hour battery life for video, 44 hours for music
• Weight: 0.35kg

The Archos 7 is similar to the Archos 5 chassis and is only half an inch thick. The 2GB model is US$179 and the 8GB one is US$211.

Archos 8

• 8″ touchscreen
• 600MHz ARM9 Rockchip 2808 CPU
• 128MB RAM
• 4GB flash
• Android OS
• 802.11b/g WiFi
• USB port, microSD support, built-in speakers
• 7-hour battery life for video, 44 hours for music
• Weight: 0.40kg

The Archos 8 has a different design than previous MIDs from the company and carries a digital picture frame chassis. It costs US$179. With these tablets being aimed at home use, it packs in some good media playback and streaming capabilities and a host of other apps for browsing, social networking and more.

I was hoping they had a bit more in the features department to compete with the other upcoming tablets. We’ll know more about that soon when Archos gives us more details.

While Asustek and other netbook manufacturers are beating each other out in coming up with 8.9- and 10-inch netbooks of their own, here comes Raon Digital brandishing its Everun Note Netbook. It’s not that there’s nothing noteable about this netbook, but the fact that it only features a 7-inch LCD display makes it a bit too late to gain some traction in the expanding and growing netbook market.

But if you’re still looking for a 7-inch netbook and you don’t feel like grabbing yourself the Eee PC 700, Acer Aspire One, and the other others, you might want to check out the Everun Note Netbook. The good news is, this netbook is loaded with AMD Turion dual-core processor and an electronic dictionary function. So that makes up for good features which are different from the rest of the netbook lot.

Here are the other specs and features of the Everun Note Netbook:

• 7-inch LCD display (1024×600)
• 1 GB SDD or 80GB HD
• 1GB RAM
• QWERTY keyboard
• 1.3 webcam
• Bluetooh
• Windows XP
