what's the point?....cell phones do what this thing does and they are better at it, at least the flash enabled ones from HTC do not mention LTE speed

Cell phones aren't 150 dollars with no contract. That's the point.


BTW Archos has had numerous cheap Android tablets out for over a year, so this isn't new, just another model. They can be modded for Google Market, but usually lack 3G/GPS. Depending on your needs they were a good value, but with tablets like the Kindle Fire coming to market now they should be aiming for a lower price point for something like this.

Still a nice high end mp3 player though.

I wonder when TOTO will introduce a toilet with Android.

What do you mean? $150 is extremely reasonable if the sound quality is good, especially considering it's using mobile device hardware.

Who would have thought.. Angry Birds on your alarm clock. LOL!

I could see this on your kitchen counter, skyping with your extended family (front facing camera) while doing some sort of project with your kids. This could easily be promoted as a replacement to your kitchen phone for video chat.
