The first pictures of the Archos 35 have been released confirming the existence of Generation 9. Also if you look at the pictures you will notice a microsd slot a feature that was missing from the Archos 32 an 28, but it doesn't have a camera. This should still be a nice upgrade.

Android differentiated Archos from other MID/PMP/UMPC maker MeeGo could help Archos differentiate themselves from Android tablet and Media player makers and it would be another thing they could add to their list of tablet innovations. First widely available MeeGo tablets and first Arm based MeeGo tablet available to consumers.
Although, I don't disagree that they should officially support and bring Maemo, with the exception of Honeycomb (which was kept close to the vest, for some insufficiently unexplained reason), Google's Android has been pretty much open-source... and increasingly more open with every revision. Especially as they begin to split off the proprietary portions out into separate apps that can be replaced (thusly, no longer part of the root /system and instead, now, part of the /system/apps where normal apps are located).

Naw, I think it's great that they keep on putting Android on their devices for the majority of people buying their devices, but I'd really like them to augment their hardware with the availability of MeeGo and Ubuntu and other very open OS's as well.

Also the patent with Archos' new 3G solution has been revealed to the internets http://worldwide.espacenet.com/publi...R=506713T&KC=T
Unfortunately the page is in French.
Still it confirms the existence of a 3G solution.
I wonder how they will implement it.

Also Archos now are flash capable out of the box.

Only took them so long. It seems as if the appslib may have a chance of competing with the Android market.

Also Archos has officially announced an event for Generation 9.
http://www.jbmm.fr/2011/05/23-juin-gen-9-day/
The message translated from the pictures says on Thursday June 23rd at 18:30/6:30(Paris Time) Archos will unveil the 3rd Generation of Archos Android Tablets. Also look at picture of the Android robot he is holding an Android Market shopping bag and a bee is buzzing and flying by him, this clearly indicates Honeycomb and Market support out of the box. Cool stuff!!!

Archos in future devices will be using a special transparent film technology that charges your devices through solar power, and get this Archos got it before LG, Apple, Samsung, Nokia, HP ETC. Another innovation for Archos. This will bring us closer to true mobility and never even needing to plug in our devices!!!

Very, very nice... I doubt that we will never have to plug in our devices, but this should help extend the battery life greatly, and even allow us to charge the device when not in use (eg. a well lit room during the day). But I agree that we are closer than before.

Good move, Archos.

Just don't leave it in the car in the summer!

Also whats even cooler unlike Pixel Qi or Mirasol it isn't vaporware!!! According to the article the technology is available TODAY, which is so many levels of awesomeness.

Also Archos leaked another thing about generation 9 over their facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/ARCHOS.Enter...50639361180587
"@Zachary - there will not be a new 43 offering at this time"
and Archoslounge got word of it too
http://www.archoslounge.net/Archos-a...s-rumeurs.html
So I think for Archos' product line will look something like this.
Archos 35, Archos 50, Archos 70v2, Archos 80, Archos 84, Archos 101v2

Naturally, it's the Archos 43 that (especially if well-updated) was the one that interested me!
