for those that are looking to be among the first to get their hands on one of these. The archos store started shipping these now. Everywhere else I've seen them is pre-order only. Android Tablet

Thank you Nicolas. I am aware of some of the advantages of the Archos lineup. But don’t you think “cheapest” being the major point is bad marketing? You see how the most successful brands out there overcharge their customers, and not only get away with it, but also get fat.

When spending money on such leisure items, people want to indulge themselves with the best, not the cheapest. I don’t want five cheap half-assed gadgets, I want one — three times as expensive — that will be better than all the other five together.

I have faith that Archos can deliver it, that is why I am criticizing.

This is the cheapest ARM Cortex A8 Android 2.2 experience so far. Worth reporting on. The Chinese tablets usually have an ARM9 processor, like the $199 Archos 7 Home Tablet, cheapest 7″ available broadly on the European and US markets.

720p — to enjoy on a 240p 3 inch screen!

I know of at least three Chinese tablets that a more worthy of reporting. With their latest cheap-o offerings, Archos are about to win the race to the bottom. Cheers!

PS. I am waiting for an upgrade of Archos 5IT, the best PMP so far.
