Amazon has begun sales of the Android-based Archos 5 PMP today, and the player has some impressive specs.
The Archos 5 includes a 5-inch touchscreen with 800x480 resolution, 720p HD decoding (H.264 HD, MPEG-4 HD, and WMV HD5) as well as format support for mostly all common file types (not just MP4).
The device has full GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G (through Bluetooth from phone), apps (Twitter, Facebook, many more), WebTV and Internet Radio, Flash 9 support, HDTV-out and an optional DVR dock.
Amazon is selling three different versions so far for the American market, 160GB HDD for $390 USD, 32GB SSD for $370 and a 500GB HDD version for $500 USD. There are 16GB flash memory and 250GB HDD version expected soon.
