The new design is intended to be built on a newer 40 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process and so achieves the added speed without consuming much if any extra power versus slower parts; ARM estimates just 0.25W per CPU. The design is pitched as ideal for particularly fast home devices that still need ei... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/16/arm.preps.2ghz.cortex.a9/ Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/archos.phone.tablet.confirmed/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/archosphonetablet-photo.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Archos in the same presentation that unveiled the Archos 5 has also confirmed that the company plans to enter the smartphone market with a high-end media phone. The tentatively-titled Phone Tablet is aimed at the same high performance, full touchscreen category as handsets like the iPhone 3GS or Toshiba TG01 and would be tailored to match.

The Archos 5 Internet Tablet still uses Archos' own more developed interface for media playback but takes advantage of Google's platform for more advanced web browsing, e-mail, and true third-party apps. Speeding this along is a new app portal known as AppsLib that carries Android apps written with the Archos ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/archos.5.with.android.official/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/archos.android.tablet/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/a5sml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Prices and storage capacities have slipped for Archos' upcoming Android-based Internet tablet.
