Archos is finally shipping some of the Android 2.2 tablets it announced earlier this year and the devices look pretty good but may not be able to go toe-to-toe with the Apple iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

If you caught Mike Lazaridis on-stage back at the Adobe MAX conference in late October, you’ll no doubt remember how pumped he was about the BlackBerry PlayBook. Among other things, he noted to developers at that time that if their PlayBook apps were approved for App World inclusion BEFORE the actual PlayBook launch… they’d be…
