Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet is now up for grabs

You know you want one. Sure, Archos isn’t tops when it comes to sexy, but there’s enough technical doohickery in these new Archos 5 “Internet Media Tablets” to keep you busy for a while — and they’re now shipping. C’mon, live a little. It’s only $350 for 60GB of fun, $400 for 120GB and $450 for 250GB. They’re practically giving these things away.

[Thanks, Pierre B.]

Archos 5, 7 internet media tablets now on sale

August 22nd, 2008 by

Filed under: ,

It’s just been a few short days since Archos took the wraps off its new Archos 5 and Archos 7 “internet media tablets,” but if you’re already sold, you can now get your order in for one of ‘em on Amazon (and no doubt plenty of other places shortly). Prices start at $350 for the lowest-end 60GB Archos 5, and go all the way up to $550 for a 320GB Archos 7. You can also take your pick from a range of accessories, including a DVR Snap-On or more full-fledged DVR Station ($80 and $100, respectively), a Battery Dock for $50, a Mini Dock for $30, and even a Helmet Camcorder for $130. Just don’t expect any of that to arrive right away — everything’s listed with a two to four week shipping estimate.

Archos 5 gets the hands-on treatment

August 19th, 2008 by

Filed under: ,

Archos has only just taken the wraps off its new Generation 6 “internet media tablets” but, right on cue, the folks at Generation MP3 have already turned out a pretty extensive hands-on with one of ‘em, the Archos 5. One thing that was immediately apparent to them is that the device’s shiny new black casing is a lot more prone to fingerprints than the metal casing of the Archos 605 that it replaces but, as they point out, the near lack of buttons (just three on top) at least means there’s less of that casing to get smudged up. They also found that the screen is not as “soft” as the 605 but, unfortunately, it’s not multi-touch, and there’s no accelerometer to allow for quick changes of orientation. Of course, if it’s pics your looking for, they’ve also got plenty of those, and you can find ‘em at the link below.
