French Firm Archos unveiled its latest set top box ahead of CES 2013. The device is an Android-powered TV Connect that could turn your HDTV into a huge Android tablet. You may wonder what’s new in the story, as there are many tools available already, that could do what this device does. But TV Connect has a feature like no other docks or dongles and that is full access to the Google Play Store!
To enhance your Android experience and make it more enjoyable, TV Connect has a multitouch TV Touch remote with a pair of pointer sticks to operate the monitor. You can do an array of things with this device like sending or receiving emails, streaming videos in HD quality, HD video calling and so on. The pointers give you the option of screen swipe, zoom in or out and type using the QWERTY keypad, just like you would do on your Tablet.
TV Connect is powered by Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a 1.5 GHz “multi-core” CPU, 1GB RAM and 8GB expandable storage. The device supports video calling apps like Skype and Google Talk and has a HD webcam to give you a smooth chatting experience. You get LED notifications of incoming calls while you are watching a video or playing games.
Though TV Connect may remind you of the failed Atari console, it has better features, not to mention Google Play Store up its sleeves which make it more desirable. The device gives you access to thousands of apps, music libraries, TV shows and all the games you enjoy on your Android devices. The addition of Archos Gamepad allows you to map game controls to the buttons and controllers of the remote which make your gaming experience more exciting.
Archos has priced TV Connect at $129.99 and it will be available for purchase from February. While the features are mentioned in detail in the press release below, the real experience of using the device will come only next month.
