Two Internet Media Tablets from Archos

"Announced alongside the Archos 5, the Archos 7 is in the same class of devices, except that it boast an even larger display and storage (320GB max). The display resolution stays the same (800x480), that might be great for those who think that such a resolution is too small on a 5" device. That might make the touch-interface even easier to use as well. Just like its smaller sibling, it supports WiFi and 3.5G, making it a potent wireless device. Other than that, they pretty much share the same capabilities."
Prices range from $350 to $550 depending on the screen size and the drive capacity. If you like the tablet options of something like the Nokia N8xx series, but long for more storage and can live with a little less ability to customize, this could be a sweet device.
Edit: The above quote references 3.5G for some reason when it really appears they mean that it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. Good catch Dyvim. Or them mean 3G. Thanks lobber. Or maybe they mean both!
