Other than that: sounds nice, but what is it with the stupid appstores for every single device?

How about just producing apps for the OS and not just the device?
Or is this the new trend? Make programs just specifically for one device, sot that we are going to see an apple macbook13" store, an powermac store, a HP pavilon store, and asus eeestore, an acer timeline store, an lenovo thinkpad store and a lenovo ideapad store and so on ...

Ich much rather prefer to have an app that is made for an OS (or better yet multiplatform, like a lot in the open source crowd).

The original Archos was first portable media player to use OMAP 3430 with 600 Mhz Cortex A8 core. Since then many devices, iPhone, Samsung i8910 HD, etc has used it. Archos sets the trend again now, guess we know what next year's portable media player will be powered by.]]>Aug 19th 2009 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/

That would be pretty funny.

On the other hand, if Apple just releases new iPod touches on the Sept 9 Event, and nothing 'new' it will be seriously boring.]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 10:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 9:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/I've been a repeat customer since the Jukebox 6000 and now have an Archos 5.. I LOVE the hardware.. I'm just sick of this company that doesn't follow through with promises of support and add-ons. Take the GPS option for example.. came out for the 605 series.. still no optional maps can be purchases, still no map updates. Then they "updated" the firmware on the Archos 5 to allow using the GPS option with it.. or did they? It was still buggy.. (main problem was crashing when trying to use POI options) dozens of calls to tech support later and being told an update would come someday.. I finally got pointed to an FTP site to download new installer software for the A5.. did it work? No.. the file structure was wrong.. I fixed the file structure and got it working now... I've written letters and gotten no replies and made dozens of calls and the best they could do was (this is for real) advised me to sell the A5 and the GPS and buy the Archos 9.. Say what? To that I say piss off and while I will continue to enjoy my Archos 5 on trips for what it does do well.. (play movies), I will not be dupt into investing any more money in Archos. They have great hardware and shit for software support, customer support, web site support, etc, etc. It's been a steady stream of, let's get new hardware out and drop support for stuff people already bought.]]>Aug 19th 2009 9:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/
They make the best electronic devices in the world.

This device will change the internet as we know it. It has 200 times the screen area of an iPhone and is 1% bigger. It has the fastest processor ever made and will be able to show 2160p video at 98 fps while simultaneously browsing the internet and calculating the first 8 million digits of Pi. Peace and harmony will come to the world as all combatants stop their wars and buy an Archos device.

Soon Archos will be making so much money that they will buy out the lowly Appple and their measly iPhone.

I'm Chorbax, and I own no Archos stock. ]]>Aug 19th 2009 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/
The really significant item in this information release is that Archos is apparently going to allow third party software for the first time. That's a huge change for this company, as the other major criticism against them in the past has been that their device is totally locked down. We'll see if this new system works better. I predict growing pains, but it can't be worse than the current situation where only Archos provides software, so there is nothing really to choose from.

I would like to see Archos pay more attention to software updates, and not promise things they ultimately do not deliver. However, there is no other device for my video needs that comes close to the Archos devices. Also have an Archos 7 with the bigger screen. For my video needs, the iPod touch is a toy compared to the Archos 5. I am talking about video recording, and playback, not the app store. Yes, I do own the iPod touch to gain experience with mobile Safari, Mobile OS X, and multi-touch (all overrated IMO), but rarely use it for video. The Archos is so much better for watching video (bigger screen, higher resolution), and of course, the iPod touch cannot record video directly from an external video source.]]>Aug 19th 2009 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/Aug 19th 2009 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/19/archos-5-internet-tablet-running-android-press-event/
Somehow you think the article talks about "Archos 5", when it just states "5-inch Archos"... Get the difference? Yes, the "Archos 5" has been our for quite some time, good for you Sherlock.

Now, let's clearify:

The Archos 9 is an Win 7 Interned Media Tablet that has been already been announced. It has NOTHING to do with Android.

This article is about an unreleased sequel to the "Archos 5. Read this article:

Archos is more of a portable but more fragile (HDD) player. Also, AVI is supported.
