The Archos 5 IT is ambitious and based on a nice concept. Howeve
Implementation of Android OS could be slicker. Lack of apps. Poor build quality of headphones and speaker

AppsLib store is bare
The new Archos 5 Internet Tablet may run Android

Lack of 3G support, Limited apps in the Apps Lab
A fantastic multimedia performer with some extras to boot. With a stronger app offering and 3G compatibility this could have been a competitor to the iPod Touch. For now, the App Store remains the Touch's biggest trump card
