Archos 5: The Linux Internet tablet for everyone

,----[ Quote ]
| If you want to buy one, they'll be available tomorrow,
| September 16th, from Amazon and the Archos Web site. There is
| one major caveat: this second-generation Archos 5 has the same
| name as its predecessor and, just to look at it, you could
| mistake it for its immediate ancestor. If you want to buy one,
| make darn sure you're getting the new model. Prices range from
| $249.99 for the 8GB device to $439.99 for the 500GB top-end
| model.

Archos' Android Tablet Looks Imminent--and Slick

,----[ Quote ]
| That's the Android operating system running on this fairly slick looking
| ARCHOS tablet, which is concrete proof that Android is headed for more than
| just smartphones. As JKOnTheRun notes, the ARCHOS 5 Android-based Internet
| Tablet isn't scheduled to go on sale until September 15th, but online
| retailer B&H jumped the gun and has a 500GB version of it shown and listed on
| its site. The ARCHOS 5 is a 5-inch slate, and JKOnTheRun reports that at one
| time B&H listed both HDD and SSD models, with prices ranging from $294 to
| $420, depending on configuration. Those specs have since been removed.
