Well I'm not one of those people who want 7inch and 10inch devices because you can't really fit those into a pocket and there is the fact with smartphones you have to pay a lot of money for cellular service and pdas are essentially dead. Nokia doesn't seem to have intentions on making more Internet tablets. The ideal form factor for me is 4-5inches where the device can do a lot but it can also fit in a pocket. Ok so archos is making a new Internet tablets. This one is called the Archos 43 http://www.archos.com/products/ta/ar...try=us&lang=en

What I like about it:
Adobe Flash 10.1
Super Fast processor
Very Nicely designed
HD Video recording
HDMI Out
Kickstand
Indications of $200 pricetag
What I Don't Like:
The still camera is only 2mp
Divx support would be nice
Other than a few things this device is very nice. for the price tag this device is incredibly capable. So I think I will get my hands on one when this comes out.

Is there any real use today for such a device? It is the same size as some of the current android phones. Why not just get a phone and carry only onr device around? If you get this you still need to carry a phone with you.

Please name me a super high end Android phone that is $200 without contract. I kinda like the form factor (but that's just me).

Not everyone needs to carry a phone.

the price is right, but a mobile device today without phone connection, is a dead end road except a couple of niche markets.

Again not everyone needs a phone that is why people have bought devices like Nokia Internet Tablets, Archos Internet Tablets, and iPod Touches because cellular service and the devices themselves are too expensive for some people.

You assume the point of view of the seller. As an end user, one doesn't care if one gets a desirable product from a niche market or from a large market. On the contrary, I would never buy something I do not need just because it is popular.

Archos AV440 is still probably one of the best gadgets i have owned and while it was not cheap that package came with everything and i really wouldn't mind to buy the Archos 70.

Problem is that i believe this wont have Android market as these new Archos tablets are missing phone cabalities that Google demands.
