We’re not sure if you can really call a device with a 3.2-inch display a tablet (we are thinking that’s more in the range of MID), but Archos has gone ahead and done it. Their Archos 32 Internet Tablet has hit the FCC, leaving a trail of pictures and even a manual in its wake. The Android-powered device features capacitive touch-buttons for navigation below the screen, including a directional pad surrounded by your standard Android buttons.
Connectivity is as expected: GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack and integrated speaker, and the device contains a microphone but seems to lack any sort of camera based on the user’s manual. You’ll be able to pick up a 720p video dock among other accessories. It should be selling for right around $150 when it goes out for sale over the coming months.

I will call it a mobile :)
Give me access to the Android market and a good battery life for tunes and i’m sold.
Seems more like a PDA than a tablet.

This could be the device I am waiting for. I can’t believe Dell blew this opportunity.
Atleast it’s only $150 :)
why not just buy an HTC Hero off contract on Ebay for the same price or less. You’ll even get a camera included.
Simon,
Yeah, that has me a bit worried. I don’t think you can get an Archos 5 for that.
Doesn’t look to coolish
its deffintely worth the price if it is everything they say it to be, camera, touch screen,wifi, music, vids, seems pretty good price too
