I have arrived in Las Vegas

Posted by Charbax – January 5, 2010

And here is what you can find in all Radio Shack stores in the USA, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet (8GB) selling right there for a very affordable $249 price. If Archos markets this device the right way and provides a perfect Android firmware for it with full Google Marketplace integration, and soon announce 3G and 7″ versions and solutions for Camera and Compass, I think Archos has a huge opportunity right there to make a very big influence on the market.

You can follow my extensive HD quality video coverage from CES here on http://armdevices.net during the next few days.

    Yep, I went into a Radio Shack to get a look at the Archos 5 in person. When I asked the salesperson if they had it, they had no idea what I was talking about. Then after walking around a bit I saw they had it being sold with the GPS devices…which seems like very bad placement to me. Also, they couldn’t get it out of the holder it was in and had no wifi in the store, so I couldn’t test the device’s unique capabilities very much at all.

    Note to Archos–Radio Shack is not the best retailer to stock your device with.

    @Brett: and we can see on Charbax photo, that the Archos 5A on display is not connected to wifi (see no wifi icon by the clock)… assuming that the photo is from a radio shack display.
