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
Browser could be better
AppsLib store is bare
The new Archos 5 Internet Tablet may run Android

Abstract: Except for maybe the keyboard, web browsing on the Archos 5 Android is a significant across-the-board improvement over the Archos 5 IMT. The Android tablet loads pages faster, has more connectivity options, offers better scrolling and browser navigation..
