Seems like we’ve seen plenty of new 7 inch Android tablets hitting the market or ready to. So it’s nice to see a new full-sized tablet. That is what the Archos 97 Titanium HD is.

A new website for the tablet went live the other day and judging by the specs, the tablet will have a 9.7 inch IPS display with resolution of 2048 x 1536. That matches the panel on the third and fourth-generation Apple iPad and offers a 264ppi pixel density. There is also a dual-core 1.6GHz processor and 1GB of RAM.

The camera in back is 5MP and the front is 2MP. It has 8GB of storage on board, but that can be bumped up nicely with the 64GB capacity microSD slot. Android 4.1 is installed. Nothing on price yet.

It was way back in 2010 that tablets started getting wide adoption, with the first iPad, but it wasn’t until 2012 when suddenly they started appearing in almost every home. In fact, tablet ownership has reportedly doubled in the United States in 2012, according to Forrester.

A survey covering almost 60,000 Americans concluded that 19% of them owned a tablet. The survey was for adults 18 years old or older, and found that the elderly are the slowest in tablet adoption, which isn’t surprising. People 47 or older were the ones least likely to own a tablet, with 14% of them having tablets, which is double the number from 2011.

That’s no surprise when you realize that 84% of adults go online every day, up from 78% last year. Tablets are everywhere.

The majority of Apple’s products are made in China by manufacturing partners like Foxconn, but now it would appear that some of Apple’s new iMacs, which launched last week are actually made in the US.

On Friday we saw a teardown of Apple’s new 21.5 inch iMac, and this has revealed that some of these models are actually made in the US, as the casing on some of the devices is labelled with ‘Assembled in USA’.

Of course this does not mean that Apple will be moving the production of all their devices to the US, as it is much cheaper for them to have the devices made in China by their various manufacturing partners.

British financial institution Barclays Bank has purchased 8,500 Apple iPads, which cost them a hefty £3.3 million ($5.3 million USD). That works out to an average price of $623 USD for each tablet. The bank will use its new tablets for "improving the customer experience.”

We aren’t sure what the bank thought about Microsoft’s Surface tablet, but since the tablets were not purchased until after the Microsoft Surface had launched, we can only guess that Barclays looked at and rejected the Surface in favor of the Apple iPad.

Then again it might have all come down to an app. The company plans on using an app called Mortgage Brain that works only on the Apple iPad and is owned by other major banks like Barclays Woolwich, RBS, Virgin Money, Santander, Lloyds TSB and Nationwide. The app checks the market for mor ... Read more »
