5-inch Android-powered Archos Internet Media Tablet landing in September

Just under a month ago at Archos’ Paris reveal, we were somewhat dismayed that an Android-based device didn’t show up… officially, at least. We were told to expect more information about a Google-powered unit this September, but it looks as if said wait has been hacked considerably. According to The Inquirer, Archos has informed it that a 5-inch internet media tablet loaded with Android will be unveiled on September 15th, a date that certainly jibes with prior information. The handheld will boast Google’s sauce underneath with a layer of Archos applications on top, and while the Windows 7-equipped Archos 9 PCTablet (pictured) is expected in October, this here device should hit shelves a few weeks prior. In related news, the briefing also included word that Archos was working on a few “telephony products,” which is just barely enough to get you simultaneously excited / hot and bothered.
