Archos 5 Internet tablet with Android
Meet the Archos 5 Internet tablet with Android (500GB). This may be the ultimate music machine on the market at the moment. To be honest, the image here doesn’t really do this MP3 player justice. It’s really a lot more than an MP3 player. Even more than the Apple iPod Touch maybe. It’s run with Google Android, which is a powerful new OS for smartphones and internet tablets. Yes, just as netbooks are hitting the scene, there’s something new called an Internet tablet.
With a LARGE touchscreen (high resolution) and a whopping 500GB of storage, this may be the king of MP3 players this holiday season. While it does have Google Android and it touts itself as a full Internet tablet, there are those who say it’s better as an MP3 player than a full-blown Internet tablet. That said, it’s still a pretty amazing piece of MP3 machinery when you think about it. (Especially if you remember the super expensive 256M (yes, MEGABYTE) MP3 players that first came out years ago.
If you’re looking for one of the best MP3 players on the market this year, the Archos 5 Internet tablet with Android just might be the best choice for you. Not all Google Android apps are supported and the GPS can be hit or miss for some people in some areas, but that aside, there are many who are really digging this new MP3 player. Will it replace the Apple iPod touch as king of MP3 players? Only time will tell. If you’re looking for something a little different, though, you might give it a look.
