New Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet does it all
Sep.18.2009 
(Credit: Archos)Far be it for Archos to sit idly by and watch Apple, Android platform, which the device uses for nearly every function besides media playback (that’s still handled by Linux). And you know what that means: apps!
There is an interesting caveat here, however. Since the Archos 5 is running at the HD-friendly 720p resolution, which is not approved for Android Cupcake, the selection of apps at start-up will be limited to about 300 (with that number increasing to at least 1,000 by the end of the year), and they are only accessible via the Archos app store. Still, the chances are you’ll have the full selection of Android apps by early next year, and we’re willing to wait if it means high-res video on the device, something to be fully-appreciated when outputting to a TV (see the gallery for an example).
So what else have we got here? Well, it would be easier to list what the Archos 5 doesn’t offer, but we’ll give it a shot. Per the Archos legacy, the device offers support for a plethora of codecs–MPEG-4 HD (up to 720p), MPEG-47 (ASP@L5 AVI, up to DVD resolution), H.264 HD (up to 720p), WMV (MP@ML, up to DVD resolution) including WMV protected files, M-JPEG (Motion JPEG Video) in QVGA resolution, MP3, WMA, Protected WMA, WAV (PCM/ADPCM), AAC, AAC+, Flac, OGG Vorbis, JPEG, BMP, PNG, and GIF–except now you won’t have to pay extra to add support for any HD video via plug-ins. There’s also integrated Wi-Fi for Internet browsing and accessing content on-the-go from services such as CinemaNow or through the integrated Internet radio and Web TV widgets. The device includes Bluetooth, through which you can access the 3G connection of your mobile phone. Out of the box, the Archos 5 will come preloaded with several Android apps, including the eBuddy instant-messaging app, Twidroid for sending and receiving tweets, Craigsphone for posting or accessing classified ads, Thinksfree for viewing Microsoft Office files, Quickpedia, and several others.
In addition, the Archos 5 offers some functionality that is optional via paid extras. If you have the DVR station accessory (or purchase the new one), you’ll be able to record video. Also, the device has an excellent integrated GPS (with a neat real-3D option), which you’ll be able to access for free for the first month and then will have the option to buy flat out.
The Archos 5 will be available tomorrow in a flash model at 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities (with a MicroSD card slot) and a hard drive version with a choice of 160GB or 500GB. Pricing starts at $249.99 for the 8GB device and maxes out at $439.99 for 500GB. For more details and up-close-and-personal shots of the interface, check out the slideshow.

Samsung working on a Zune HD-killer?
MP3 player.” width=”206″ height=”375″ />
The Samsung M1 authentically emulates my messy, flower-strewn desk.
(Credit: Samsung)
A portable media player with a 3.3-inch OLED touch screen and an Nvidia Tegra chipset? popped up on the company’s Korean site this past Friday, and that’s existence has been confirmed by the requisite blurry photo.
We’ve yet to see any pricing on Samsung’s latest touch-screen media maestro, or any indication that it will be heading to the U.S. (especially not with that DMB tuner it’s sporting). What we do know is that the Tegra-based PMP will include Bluetooth audio capabilities, DivX video playback, an active matrix OLED display, FM radio, photo viewer, text reader, microSD memory expansion, and an integrated voice recorder. The leaked photo also indicates the M1 will include a standalone Flash media player.
Should Microsoft worry? Well, any manufacturer going up against the iPod juggernaut should be a little worried, but I doubt the Zune team is losing much sleep over the M1. The Nvidia Tegra chip boasts some impressive specs (especially around battery life), but it’s what you do with the chip that counts. Plus, advantages such as HD radio, Zune Marketplace integration, Xbox video compatibility, and one of the best podcast players you can buy make the Zune HD a tough competitor.
Of course, with pricing still unknown for both products, it’s anybody’s ballgame.
