As the name suggests, it is a 2.8" media player running Google Android. The user manual and internal photos are available on the FCC website."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1282092572.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>I think Android makes a fine core OS for a PMP. All the basics are already taken care of and a lot of expandability is already there. But, I also see the stand-alone PMP going the way of the stand-alone PDA. From a hardware perspective, my Droid makes a fine PMP, all it really lacks is a really great media app. So if Archos develops one for their own Android devices, I wonder if we'll see it released on the market for other non-Archos devices?</p><p><em></em></p>
