Archos 5 versus Archos 5 Internet Tablet (Android)

I am very sure that are tons of Archos 5 users that have their eyes on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, that runs Android OS.

One of the many things that people are expecting to work on the Archos 5 Android Internet Tablet is the Archos 5′s remote. So, does it work? Well, simple answer is NO. It won’t work.

What about the plugins that the people purchased for the original Archos 5? Do they work? NO again, but there is little Archos can do in this regard as Archos 5 Android runs Android OS and thus it makes all the plugins incompatible. Again, NO GAMES of your old Archos 5 would work.

I am many of current Archos 5 users will feel cheated about their accessories being rendered completely USELESS and the inability to use their Archos 5 apps on the Android Archos 5.

Bottomline: If do not own any Archos branded product or you do not have any regret about spending that EXTRA money on games, apps, plugins and accessories, then you can go ahead and still buy Archos 5 Android tablet.
