Stretching the bounds of what can be called a Tablet and not a "Personal Media Player", Archos has recently announced their Archos 43. The Archos 43 - similar to the 32 pad - is marketed as an "Internet tablet" with media playing abilities rather than a true Personal Media Player. With only a 4.3" screen, and ultra slim design allowing it to fit easily in a pocket, this on the surface certainly is stretching the classical definition of "Internet tablet"!
Further muddying things is the relatively small 4.3" only has a resolution of 480 x 854 which is less than that of the iPod Touch 4. However, when you look at some of the other features the Archos 43 boasts you can see why Archos wanted to brand it as a tablet rather than a player. After all, it uses the Android OS 2.2 (a.k.a Froyo) just like a tablet; has email, Internet and all round wireless abilities much like a tablet. It even supports Samba and UPnP for remote streaming of movies and music to it from your NAS! Though, the biggest features most mere PMPs don’t have which pushes the Archos 43 firmly into tablet territory are Bluetooth & USB tethering, and a HDMI port for HDTV output. And that’s not all... the Archos 43 also has a HD camcorder as well as a USB 2.0 host capability to connect digital cameras and USB flash drives.
