Archos 5 Android Tablet. Full Review at Carrypad.

Posted on 07 December 2009, Last updated on 10 June 2018 by

Archos 5 Internet Tablet - backlight Let’s be clear; the Archos 5 is neither a pro or mobile internet device. There’s no 3G, the web experience isn’t complete and the stability of the device means you probably shouldn’t be doing anything important on it.

Having said that, the Archos 5 is quite an amazing multi-faceted handheld web device that sets a new standard for an ARM-based web experience and pushes the entry level pricing down to consumer levels. Battery life is great and the video performance beats anything you’ll get on a UMPC.

If you could cherry-pick for the perfect UMPC, I’m sure you’d be picking a lot of features from the Archos 5.

I’ve written a full review of the Archos 5 Internet Tablet and published it at Carrypad.com, our consumer-focused sister website.
