Archos says the new GamePad 2 will feature a 7-inch 1280 x 800 IPS display, a quad-core Cortex A9 CPU clocked to 1.6 GHz graphics paired with quad-core Mali 400 MP4 graphics, 2 GB of RAM, two analog thumbsticks, a D-pad, six additional front-facing buttons, four shoulder buttons, stereo speakers, built-in mic, HDMI out, WiFi, and 8 GB or 16 GB of storage (plus additional via microSD). These specs match up perfectly with the rumors we heard a couple of weeks ago.
The GamePad 2 is launching in Q4 and will cost $200, or £179.99 in the UK.

I like the Archos Gamepad 2 more than the iPad Mini, Kindle Fire HD, and other tablets in the $200-350 price range.
This tablet looks like a good cheaper alternative to the Nvidia Shield which is $299, and has a smaller screen than the 7 inch screen on the Gamepad 2.
The 2GB of RAM, Quad core Graphics, and 1.6GHz CPU are pretty good specs. The Screen, controls, and MicroSD, and HDMI our is also pretty good.
Great to see that there are front facing stereo speakers, and a mic as well.
