[Only registered and activated users can see links] Back in February ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) we first got word of Archos' plans to release an IMT (Internet Media Tablet) which combined a 5" media player with 3G voice support via Android's telephony stack. This speculation was confirmed ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) again in March when the company's 2008 financial results were published, making mention of the IMT with a Q3 release date.
This month the French site ArchosLounge ([Only registered and activated users can see links]) published details of an event to be held in Paris next month (June) which many have speculated hints at a possible release of the Android IMT based on the colour of the event invite, what you may call Android-green. The connection seems a bit tenuous, but may prove true. The real question however is does anyone care? Traditional smartphone users are not going to be tempted to move to the new Archos for its media player capabilities and it remains to be seen whether or not existing Archos users will buy into the idea. Archos obviously hopes that they will.
