Archos 5 Internet Tablet
To many, it’s still unclear how the internet tablet fits in the scheme of things but I think it will be going in the same direction as the popular iPod Touch. The Archos 5 Internet Tablet should fit the bill.
The Archos 5 Internet Tablet has some pretty nice specs:
4.8” TFT LCD @ 800×480 pixel resolution
8 – 32 GB Flash Memory + microSD card expansion
160 – 500GB HDD option
720p HD movie playback
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.0
FM receiver
FM transmitter
Of course, there’s a built-in web browser for internet surfing, an email client, IM and DailyMotion.
Supported video formats include MPEG-4, H.264, MKV, WMV and M-JPEG. Photo viewer support JPEG, GIF, BMP and PNG while audio formats include MP3, AAC, WMA, AAC, Flac and Ogg Vorbis. There are optional snap-on devices for audio/video recording as well as a TV tuner.
The flash model is as thin as 10.4mm while the HDD model is 20mm thick. Music playback time is 22 hours on a single charge and 7 hours to play videos. Retails for around $300 at Amazon.
