Archos ChefPad is a tablet for cooking enthusiasts

The Archos ChefPad is a tablet aimed at chefs or cooking enthusiasts, and it looks like it has all it needs to ensure that you have the best cooking experience.
Archos is no stranger to niche tablets (you may remember the Archos ChildPad or the Archos FamilyPad), but you have to admit that a tablet designed for cooking does sound a bit strange. On the other hand, the Archos ChefPad, set for a June release, looks like it has all it needs to be very useful next to the cutting board in your kitchen.

If you only see it as a regular tablet, you probably could find enough similar devices. It has a dual-core A9 1.6GHz CPU, a quad-core Mali 400 MP4 GPU and 1GB of RAM memory, as well as 8GB of internal memory, expandable via microSD slot. The screen is a 9.7-inch one, at a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, and the device runs an unskinned version of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.It also has front and back 2-megapixel cameras, so you can take pictures of your dishes and send them to friends.
However, what makes it interesting are the features designed to help you while cooking. They start with a silicone case – a very good idea, since the kitchen is a pretty spill-prone area – as well as a stand, so you can check out the recipe (or cooking TV show) while you're making that great food.
The other interesting part is called Chef Apps Selection, essentially a filter for Google Play apps, designed to find for you the best apps for your cooking needs (you can also get some great cooking apps ideas here). Archos says in the press release that these come from “categories like recipes, drinks, shopping, cooking TV and more.”
As far as pricing goes, you should know that the Archos ChefPad will have a suggested retail price of £149.99 (around $232) on the Archos site.
In the same press release, the company's CEO, Loïc Poirier, promises that this is not the last themed tablet from the company, as more of them, also curating apps in various categories, are on the way.
