French electronics company Archos is bringing two new tablets to the market this September: the 10.1-inch Archos 101 and the 8-inch Archos 80.

The tablets will come packed with dual-core 1.5GHz processors, making them the fastest tablets on the market, and 250GB Seagate hard drives - the largest storage capacity available.

Technical details aside, the tablets will pack Android 3.1, giving you access to 200,000 Android Market apps, HD video playback, HDMI output, and Flash support.

They'll also feature the unique ability to switch between wi-fi and 3G as required, with the option to use a 3G USB stick on a pay-as-you-go basis.

When the tablets drop in September you can pick-up the Archos 101 for £399, or £279 if you settle for flash memory.

Similarly, the Archos 80 will set you back £299 or £199, with an Archos 3G USB stick costing £49.
