Archos Tries Internet Media Angle

Archos is trying a different portable media tactic, PC Magazine reports, with its new Archos 5, Archos 5G, and Archos 7 Internet Media tablets, one of which includes a SIM card slot for use with 3G cellular networks.

The new devices no longer require stylii, and can access the Web via built-in Web browser over Wi-Fi radios. They also play (with an extra plug-in) high-definition, 720p video content—try that on an iPod—and also come with Internet TV and radio plug-ins. They’ll be available beginning in September with the 5, and later in the year for the other two, at rather high-end prices ranging from $350 to $550.
