Archos 9 tablet doesn't make Windows look good
,----[ Quote ]
| Windows just doesn't seem at home when
| squeezed into this 1.8-pound slab, with a
| touch-sensitive screen that is 8.9 inches on
| the diagonal. It's sluggish, and the controls
| aren't adapted to the size of the screen or
| the fact that there's no real keyboard or
| mouse.

| It's a little disconcerting that the Windows tablet
| experience is so poor, nine years after Microsoft made a
| big push for its Tablet PC version of Windows XP. Clearly,
| Microsoft hasn't really adapted Windows properly for this type of device.

Archos 5 Internet Tablet Android-based PMP
,----[ Quote ]
| Gone is Archos' own - not exactly super
| swish - Linux-based OS and in its place
| sits Google's Linux-based mobile operating
| system, the first time that it's been seen
| in an official capacity on a shipping
| product that's not a phone.
|
| However, it's probably worth getting this
| out of the way early on: not all Android
| devices are created equal. Yes, Android is
| an open source operating system that any
| manufacturer can download and install onto
| its hardware without paying a fee. However,
| don't expect it come with all the
| applications you're accustomed to seeing on
| phones from the likes of HTC, for example.
| Specifically, you won't find Google's suit
| of apps on there by default since Google
| doesn't give those away for free.

| 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.
