Some weeks ago Archos was all set to unveil its latest media device at an Android event in France, but we managed to get a hold of their Archos 5 Internet Tablet, the company’s sixth-generation handheld part of their A5 lineup. The Archos 5 comes with a touchscreen interface that is a fantastic upgrade over their last-gen and acts as a great personal media player with net connectivity .
This sleek device comes in four flavors, two flash based 16GB and 32GB ones at $294 and $270 respectively and two HDD-based versions with 160GB and 500GB priced at $320 and $420 respectively.

It features a 4.8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 800×480 pixels which is great for watching videos without straining your eyes, an ARM-Cortex 600 MHz processor, 128 MB RAM, WiFi, 3.5mm jack for headphones, Opera Web Browser for a fast browsing experience and will also be capable of 720p HD video output.
The new Archos 5 Internet Tablet runs on the Android OS — the same software running on smartphones like the HTC Hero and T-Mobile G1.

Other details remain unknown as of now, but we’re pretty sure Archos will make an official announcement soon.
