Archos preps "gen-8" Android tablet lineup

"[Think of] it a bit like an Android smart phone, with WiFi but without 3G (you can use Mifi or Bluetooth tethering) - you may even be able to use it as an excellent VOIP Android phone on Skype, SIP maybe even Google Voice.

"It comes with much better codecs and multimedia support than most existing Android super phones by HTC/Motorola/Samsung/Sony Ericsson/Huawei/Dell and most importantly, consider this is much cheaper unlocked Android device than buying one of those phones often for over $500 unlocked or only with a $2500 2 year contract! [Of course], we expect at least 5 devices, maybe as many as 8 new Archos Android devices to be announced/released by Archos in the [near future].”
