Archos 5 Looks like a Tablet Computer But Has a Very Limited Browser According to Gizmodo

My personal opinion of what a modern tablet computer is goes something like this: A netbook sized device (or slightly smaller) without a physical keyboard. Its screen size can be between 5 and 10 inches. Aside from the lack of a physical keybaord, it is functionally equivalent to a netbook type device.

The Archos 5 with its 800×400 resolution 4.8 inch LCD screen and 60GB (or larger) hard drive physically seems to meet the physical part of my idea of a netbook.

But, Gizmodo notes an issue with the way the Archos’ Android provided browser works…

The problem is that the Archos looks like it should be a near-full function computing device but behaves more like an Android smartphone when its web browser is used. Ouch.
