Archos Combining Phone, Tablet with Android

Archos%205.JPGIn a joint statement, Archos and Texas Instruments said Monday that Archos will launch a so-called Internet Media Tablet that will use the Google Android software stack to add phone functionality.

The tablet will be released during the third quarter, the companies said in their statement. The new IMT will be a followon to the Archos 5, pictured, which was launched in October.

The flagship addition is obviously the Android stack, which will turn the tablet into a full-fledged smartphone. “With the integration of voice, ARCHOS is looking to expand beyond portable media players to provide solutions for the converged space, where a foundation in high-quality video content delivery is a benefit,” the company said in a statement.
