Archos just revealed what thatcurtain teasewas all about : the 6th Gen Archos 5 , 5 gravitational constant and 7 series PMPs . The 4.8″ flagship 5 gigabyte ditches the tired interface and buttons of theGen-5 devicefor a slick UI and touchscreen - only process . It ’s got Wi - Fi , HD video support , entanglement browsing , email , a Brobdingnagian HDD ( up to 250 GB ) , and built - in HSPDA 3 G connectivity . It ’s also sire dock connector , GPS , DVR , video / audio transcription and more . In short , it ’s everything that the iPod touch is n’t , and I got to touch it . The user interface on the 5 G is incredibly suave , scrolling is similar to the iPod touch , and the include Opera World Wide Web browser app does zoom and looks excellent . The gimmick is visceral and the touch screen is responsive and big enough to really enjoy movie observation . The 5 and 7 are also great gimmick , featuring 4.8″ and 7″ video display , respectively . They are 3 gravitational constant open with a separate dongle , and otherwise have all the not bad spectacles of the 5G. The 5 will be available in 60- , 120- , and 250 GB diversity , while the 7 carry either 160 GB or 320 GB under the cap . The product will retail between $ 350 and $ 550 when they come in September ( 5 ) , October ( 7 ) and January ( 5 gram ) . It ’s a good day for the little portable - medium underdog .
