Archos pokes the itouch in 1,2,3,4,9999 places

Just yesterday, Archos released a lineup of its 6-gen portable multimedia players, oh wait, they call it Internet Media Tablets now, which totally made me go ‘woah’. Is this the makeover of PMP to IMT that everyone has been waiting for?

It’s got Wi-Fi, HD video support, web browsing, email, a huge HDD (up to 250GB), and built-in HSPDA 3G connectivity. It’s also got dock connectors, GPS, DVR, video/audio recording and more.To summarise, there’s (From left) Archos 7, Archos 5 and Archos 5G. The main difference between 5 and 5G is that the latter has only 30GB HDD but can have a 3G enabled SIM card plugged in to surf the net on the go. The former have 60,120 and 250 GB versions but requires a USB dongle 3G modem to surf the net unless you have a nearby wifi spot.

All I know is : my cowon A3 still plays mkv and ogm. But these IMT SURE LOOK GORGEOUS. Read on for full specifications.
