Archos Android tablets get unofficial pricing

I know you're not exactly the least busy person out there but it's almost been a month!!!! I'm trying to be patient but you of all people should know the importance of trusted review, or lack there of in this case, so please get to work on that. A month is a very long time in the tech world, as you know, and besides, you had a review for the Ipod less than a week after it came out! Is it to much to ask to have a review for the archos within a similar time period? Even two weeks would have been acceptable but now....
After making an initial appearance at the FCC in August, a new model of the Archos 5 Internet media tablet pc popped up on B&H on the first of September.

The product listings briefly showed pricing for four models of the updated Archos 5, as well as a page for the Archos DVR Station. If the listings are accurate, consumers can expect to see 16GB ($293), 32GB ($369), 160GB ($319), and 500GB ($419) versions of the updated Archos 5 in the not too distant future (September 15, maybe?).

The odd pricing discrepancy between the $369 32GB Flash memory model and hard drive-based $319 160GB model likely reflects the relative bulkiness of the hard-drive models compared with the thinner, less fragile Flash versions. Without further details, we can only guess.

In fact, there's still plenty we don't know, such as where or when we'll see the white Archos A5S glimpsed from the FCC filing, or how the new tablets will leverage Google's Android OS. I'll also be curious to see if the GPS icon shown on the main screen implies an integrated GPS receiver, or further reliance on a separate GPS cradle. Considering Archos' penchant for upselling users on software add-ons, battery packs, and accessories, I wouldn't bet on built-in GPS--but who knows?
