After making an initial appearance at the FCC in August, a new model of the Archos 5 Internet media tablet popped up on B&H on the first of September.
The recently announced Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet renews our hope for an agile, inexpensive Android alternative to Apple's runaway hit. Due out in September with a 7-inch capacitive touch screen and an affordable price of $ 299, the Cruz Tablet delivers a (mostly) complete Android OS 2.1 experience, including compatibility with Flash 10.1.
You also get 802.11n Wi-Fi, an SDHC memory card slot with an included 8GB card, 4GB of integrated memory, 800x480 native resolution, multitouch, accelerometer control, a front-facing camera, speaker, microphone, headphone jack, and plenty of media playback support (music, video, and e-books).
The product listings briefly showed pricing for four models of the updated Archos 5, as well as a page for the Archos DVR Station. If the listings are accurate, consumers can expect to see 16GB ($ 293), 32GB ($ 369), 160GB ($ 319), and 500GB ($ 419) versions of the updated Archos 5 in the not too distant future (September 15, maybe?).
The odd pricing discrepancy between the $ 369 32GB Flash memory model and hard drive-based $ 319 160GB model likely reflects the relative bulkiness of the hard-drive models compared with the thinner, less fragile Flash versions. Without further details, we can only guess.
In fact, there's still plenty we don't know, such as where or when we'll see the white Archos A5S glimpsed from the FCC filing, or how the new tablets will leverage Google's Android OS. I'll also be curious to see if the GPS icon shown on the main screen implies an integrated GPS receiver, or further reliance on a separate GPS cradle. Considering Archos' penchant for upselling users on software add-ons, battery packs, and accessories, I wouldn't bet on built-in GPS--but who knows?
I know you're not exactly the least busy person out there but it's almost been a month!!!! I'm trying to be patient but you of all people should know the importance of trusted review, or lack there of in this case, so please get to work on that. A month is a very long time in the tech world, as you know, and besides, you had a review for the Ipod less than a week after it came out! Is it to much to ask to have a review for the archos within a similar time period? Even two weeks would have been acceptable but now....tablet pc
