Archos 5: The Linux Internet tablet for everyone

[ Thanks to Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols for this link. ]

"The Archos 5 is a do-it-all handheld device. While it's no iPhone, it does everything else. (Personally, as a long-time iPod Touch fan, I'm just fine with devices that don't include telephony.)

"What really impressed me though the Archos 5 is its 4.8-inch 800x400-pixel display. You might not think that it being a bit bigger than the Touch's 3.5-inch display or the Microsoft Zune HD's 3.3-inch display would make that much of a difference, but it does. It's more pleasurable to watch TV episodes or, even a movie, on the Archos 5."
