It comes in two forms, both based on the memory they carry; the first being the basic model having an internal storage of 8GB and the “yet to hit the market” turbo Archos 101 G9 with a memory of 16 GB. But, nothing to worry, there is an additional memory option of around 250 GB which is more than expected for a portable media device.
In the past, Archos had a chief concern of not employing the access to full android market. Now you can have access to all the 3D games which run totally fine on G9 tab.
