Archos has taken Google's Android mobile operating system and rather than build a phone - as most companies have done - has installed it on a portable media player (PMP) instead.
The Archos 5 can do everything a normal PMP can do - such as play music, movies and photos - but you can also download additional applications to expand its functionality from the Android Market.
It supports video up to 720p HD resolution, so you don't need to re-encode it to view it on its 800 x 480 resolution 5in touchscreen, and it'll look great when you hook it up to a big screen TV.
The Archos 5 will be available from 16 September for £199.99 to £369.99 depending on capacity. See Archos for more information.
