That would be the store page i mentioned. See the store. part of the url?

www.archos.com in any nationality makes no mention of a archos 7b, tho there is a 70c in the ereader section (that looks nothing like either the 7th or the 70, unlike the 7b).

Well the 7c is available in the US for me and it gives me the ability to add to cart.

Wait, the Archos 7c, released a few weeks ago, has Android 2.1? The existing Archos 70 had 2.2, suggesting some kind of hardware shortcoming of the 7c?

I don't mind not having cameras or wireless-N, but no bluetooth could be a bit of a drag.

Added: it looks like they've now got a 4.8" tablet with a 500gb disk! That is tempting... I always felt the 250gb disk in the Archos 70 was too small... but it has 128mb ram (instead of 256mb like the other models) and no bluetooth... obviously a low end device. Sigh

Also Archos is killing their home tablet line in favor of Arnova.

I could see the Arnova brand be useful for other appliance like devices such as camcorders and eReaders.

I would love to see true pen input on future Archos devices so they could be used for taking notes and drawing. I think a solution like a active digitizer or capacitive touchscreen with a transparent resistive layer for pressure sensitive input. It would be a good differentiator and the HTC flyer is way to expensive. Bringing that functionality to affordable devices like the Archos one would be great.

I think it would be good for Archos to adopt MeeGo because at this point Android remains quite closed and it is stupid to try to build an ecosystem where one already exists. I think Archos should either use MeeGo or Ubuntu and build a Software UX on top of either and build an ecosystem on top of that or they should make their own Linux distribution. Android differentiated Archos from other MID/PMP/UMPC maker MeeGo could help Archos differentiate themselves from Android tablet and Media player makers and it would be another thing they could add to their list of tablet innovations. First widely available MeeGo tablets and first Arm based MeeGo tablet available to consumers.

err it seams most rockchip devices lack bluetooth. Their will be a new version with capacitive, RK2918, Gingerbread, and 512mb of ram. This version is the Eclair resistive version I think.

Also Archos will adopt a new Screen technology. That is "revolutionary"
So the best guess is a transflective screen like Pixel Qi or Mirasol

These devices are getting better the more I hear about them.
