According to a leaked B&H Photo product page, Archos is set to refresh their Archos 5 Internet Tablet with not only a new, svelter form factor but a brand new OS.

The 5-inch touchscreen device’s OS will now be Android.  It will be avaialble in a variety of capacities and include an optional $130 DVR system.  While the prices have now been taken down and replaced with “tba”, Archosfans.com was diligent enough to snag a screen capture.  The 16GB and 32GB flash based models will cost $293.95 and $369.95 respectively, while the hard drive based models, available in a 160GB and 500GB capacity will set you back $319.95 and $419.95 respectively.

Word is that the updated Archos 5 will hit the street on 9/15, but I can neither deny or confirm that date.

Although we’ve known for a few months now that Samsung had plans to enter the e-reader game, we didn’t know when the device would emerge.  Today the company made the device official and what was known as the Papyrus has now become the SNE-50K, at least as far as I can tell.

It sports the same 512mb of storage as the Papyrus, a 4320 continuous page view battery life, 5-inch screen, 6.5oz weight, lack of any wireless connectivity (everything must be downloaded from a computer iPod style) and costs about $270.  Right now it’s only available in South Korea, but Samsung says they’ve got plans to show off a prototype e-reader to international markets at CES 2010.

To put it in perspective, Amazon’s Kindle 2 offers a 6-inch screen, wireless connectivity and its very own e-book store.

For more details hit the ‘leap’ for the full press release

Mio brings Digital TV to the dashboard

Mio revolutionises sat nav with launch of first ultra-slim device with integrated Freeview tuner

London, UK, 22 June 2009: Leading sat nav company Mio today becomes the first to offer a range of products combining state-of-the-art satellite navigation with a digital TV, providing users with easy-to-use, multi-channel entertainment they can enjoy during breaks in the journey or at their final destination.
The Navman Spirit TV range continues Mio’s history of ground-breaking innovation in sat nav design and functionality. They are the perfect companion for family outings, driving holidays and camping trips, providing mobile entertainment when a destination has been reached. In addition, professionals who drive as part of their work (for example taxi drivers, truckers or salespeople), can use the Navman Spirit TV’s to relax and enjoy their favourite TV programmes or catch up on the latest news while on breaks between journeys. When not travelling, the Spirit TV can also be used as an additional portable TV for the home.
The Navman Spirit TV range comprises two highly portable, ultra-slim models – the V505 with a 4.7” widescreen, and the V735 with a stunning 7” widescreen.
Huw Bush, Head of UK Marketing, Mio, said: “Our existing range of sat-navs already encompasses photos and the ability to play MP3s and video, so a digital TV tuner is the natural next step in sat-nav innovation. The V505 and V735 combine our cutting-edge navigation with the ability to watch hundreds of digital TV channels across Europe – making it the perfect companion for family outings or professional drivers.”
Digital TV wherever you are
With their wide, flat displays, watching Digital TV on the V505 or V735 is a pleasure. The auto-tuning is easy to set up, so users can be viewing their favourite Freeview channels in seconds. Both models include a seven-day EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) which lists what’s on every available channel up to a week ahead. With two antennas available to facilitate the strongest signal, the simple touchscreen menu and remote control make finding programmes a breeze, and the sharp, bright picture and powerful speaker provide a great mobile TV experience.
The V735 also includes full media device functionality, enabling users to store and view video and photos, and listen to their favourite MP3 music tracks.
Spirit software and new slidetouch™ screen
The ‘Spirit’ part of the name refers to the software that powers the V735, V505 and the other recently released sat nav devices in the Spirit range. Redesigned from the ground up, Spirit uses a simple and colourful menu system that takes users to all of the features within a couple of ‘taps’. The new slidetouch™ screen brings up windows that glide on and off to help find what you are looking for quickly and easily, without needing to go back to the main menu unless you want to.
TruMap™ Views, Junction Views and lane guidance make navigation easy
Navman Spirit TV caters for all the basic sat nav functions, such as finding your destination easily, being aware of road speeds and safety cameras and helping the driver negotiate difficult junctions, with some important additions. To improve map clarity, Mio has added new TruMap™ Views that strip away clutter for a cleaner, much easier to read map display. New Junction Views have also been added, giving drivers an accurate representation of motorway signs in 3D as they approach an exit. Intelligent text-to-speech provides spoken next turn road names and directions, enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the road, and both models also include built-in Traffic with a lifetime subscription, meaning drivers can easily find ways around hold-ups and traffic hot spots.
Spoken navigation is now louder and clearer on the V735 with its built-in FM transmitter, allowing users to tune the device into their car speakers via the radio.
Go further with Explore Mode, Google Local™ and Wcities Travel Books
The Navman Spirit TV range also includes Mio’s suite of innovative new features that sets it apart from other sat nav devices, and helps drivers get a lot more out of their journeys.
First up is Explore Mode, an ingenious POI (Point of Interest) feature that really comes into its own when exploring new places. From any location in Europe, touching the map makes a cluster of icons ‘grow’ from that point. Users can immediately see what’s available in or near that location, from cash machines to hotels, museums and local attractions, car parks, restaurants and more. Zooming in on the map gives more location detail, while zooming out shows a wider choice of POIs. Touching any icon brings up a name and address, then by clicking ‘Go’ Navman will navigate there. Explore Mode works on the go, or can be used before drivers set off so they can plan POIs in advance.
Mio takes the idea of exploring even further with Travel Books from Wcities. Pre-loaded into every new Navman Spirit TV is a selection of Travel Books, featuring in-depth listings of places to eat, stay and visit, combined with facts and photos. There are hundreds more to choose from which can easily be downloaded onto the new devices.
Pedestrian mode – take shortcuts that your car can’t
Featuring the world’s most accurate walking mode, Navman Spirit TV also helps users explore more on foot. With built-in 2D city maps specially designed to work out of the car at walking pace, creating a seamless navigation experience. With details of footpaths and building outlines, each device works with the user to cut travel times.
Find your way with geo-tagged NavpixTM pictures
The Navman Spirit TV range also includes the market-leading NavPixTM geo-tagged photo navigation feature, pioneered by Mio in its previous Navman devices. With the built-in photo album, users can browse through a huge variety of pictures such as tourist sites, hideaway beaches, hotels and restaurants. As geo-tagging becomes more popular, and with over a million tagged photos free on NavPix and Flickr® websites, this feature really starts to come into its own.

The Navman Spirit TV range is available in stores in July. For more information please visit www.mio.com .

Garmin announced their 1490T today, a GPS unit that they claim is 25% thinner than ‘most’ nuvi models.  It sports a 5-inch touchscreen, lane assist, Bluetooth for handsfree calls and free lifetime traffic updates, something we’ve seen in Navigon’s line of GPS units.  They’ve also tossed in lane assist with junction view to help you get through the complex urban sprawl I often refer to as Los Angeles.  And like the nuvi 1300, the 1490T include ecoRoute, which finds the most fuel efficient path to your destination.

The Garmin nuvi 1490T is expected to arrive this July and cost $499.99.

I don’t know much about Telecast, but the company looks like they’re set to introduce the M66, a 5-inch screened PMP with a 720p output.  The UI forgoes any touchscreen wizardy and instead opts for a 7 dedicated hard keys that could either simplify or convolute its usability.  Currently, the M66 is compatible with the h.264 MKV, RM/RMVB and AVI codecs and appears to be very slender given the screen size.  I doubt we’ll ever see a US release.

Although nothing beats a beastly steel chain, finger print scanners can still deter a thief or two, especially if it renders the product useless.

MEDION today announced 3 new GPS (GoPal P5235, 5435 and X5535) units that sport not only voice control and 5-inch LCD touchscreens, but finger print readers that can store up to 5 user’s prints.  In addition to Biometric security, all units include FM traffic updates, while the GoPal P5235 adds Bluetooth and the flag ship model, the GoPal X5535, includes a built-in gyrometer that keeps track of speed and direction in the event that a GPS signal isn’t available.

The GoPal P5235, 5435 and X5535 are currently available in select EU markets, but no word on price.

Boxing analogies aside, Tawainese USI’s latest MID is one sexy and svelte beast.  Showcased at the Intel Developer Forum this week, the MID-160 is rocking a 5-inch 800×480 LCD touchscreen, which can produce over 167k colors.  Inside the MID-160’s 1.5cm thick chassis is an unnamed Atom processor, an 8GB SSD, WiFi, Wimax, 3G chipset, 512MB of RAM, Bluetooth and GPS.   The device runs Ubuntu, which is surely a welcome over any Windows OS.  Portage includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, docking port, microSD slot, SIM slot, front facing webcam, and an ambient light sensor.

Unfortunately, there’s no word on price or release date.
