Archos unveils FamilyPad tablet to encourage family timeNovember 23, 2012 - 21:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Archos announced a FamilyPad tablet seeking to spark a return to those halcyon days when "family time" meant just that, TechRadar said. The large 13.3-inch FamilyPad will go on sale in the U.K. in December for £274.99, while a recent trip through the U.S. Federal Trade Commission suggests an international announcement is also imminent. The FamilyPad, which runs on Android Ice Cream Sandwich, has a 1200 x 800, 10-point multi-touch screen which, according to Archos, "recreates the traditional board game" experience. The 8GB device will feature a host of built-in games, with "thousands" more to download, the company said. Beyond gaming, the tablet is also being pitched as a family organiser, largely due to the bundled-in stand and the ability to configure a calendar app and multiple email accounts. The FamilyPad also features a "special embedded animated slide show feature" to turn the tablet into a photo album, while it's touted as being large enough for everyone to gather around and watch movies.
