Archos will unveil new Android powered Internet Media Tablet

Several days ago, it was known that Archos would be selling the Windows 7 powered Archos 9 PCtablet in the United States as well as Europe. Such news is pretty significant as Archos wants the tablet to take center stage before many other netbooks running Windows 7 can be released to the public. In addition, it was known that Archos would be unveiling some sort of Android mini tablet come September 15. Only a few specs and features were announced such as a 500GB hard drive, 3G connectivity, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 7 hour battery life. Today, there are reports indicating the Android device will be a 5 inch touch screen Internet Media Tablet.
If you are familiar with Archos products, then you have probably heard of the Internet Media Tablets before - as they were announced a little under a year ago. Those devices are pretty much your average PMPs, except with strong Internet connectivity features, and other Archos features. In addition, if we look back to February, Archos did make an announcement regarding Android OS in an Internet Media Tablet-like smartphone. While I don’t think the new Archos device will be an exact smartphone, it is said to bear similarities to normal phones, without all those calling features.
It will be interesting to see what is unveiled on September 15, and how that device will do compared to the Windows 7 running Archos 9 PCtablet.
