Archos working on SIM card-equipped players?

Filed under: Portable Audio, Portable Video, Wireless

There’s not a whole lot to go on here, but according to France’s Challenges magazine, Archos is set to further expand its linup-up of players next year with some new SIM card-equipped models. While there’s no indication that the devices will actually double as a phone, you will apparently be able to at least get in some 3G-enhanced web browsing, which would certainly be more convenient (albeit pricier) than tracking down WiFi hotspots each time you’re out and about. Also according to Challenges, it seems that both France’s SFR and Neuf-Cegetel are “starting to look very closely” at Archos’ gear, although that’s obviously still as up in the air as the rumored device itself.
