It seems Android phone tablet plans were not scrapped after all. Or at least the presence of the Archos 32 at the FCC’s website says something like that.
We’re talking about a touchscreen device with a 3.2-inch 400×240 pixels display that made us think why it’s called “tablet” at all. Go figure…
In addition to the not-that-big screen, there are also dedicated buttons for home, back, enter and menu. Rest of the specs include a 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 CPU, 8GB of built-in storage, Android 2.1, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, video out and a camera that can take 640×480 pixels video clips.
The question now is when will the Android 32 be released, if ever. Honestly, I don’t see much space on the market for such a device, though I may be wrong. Maybe Archos wants to compete with the iPod Touch, which as we all know proved a big success for Apple. Do they have what it takes for that? I don’t think so. What do you say?
