PMPs run Linux on ARM Cortex

Contributed by: sde

Archos announced a new line of portable media players (PMPs) that run on ARM Cortex processors. The Archos 5 and Archos 7 (pictured) offer 4.8- and 7-inch touchscreens, respectively, and include WiFi, hard drives, HD (720p) video playback, and an optional 3.5G cellular connection.

The new Archos PMP tablets are re-engineered upgrades to the 4.8-inch-screen Archos 604 and the later, 7-inch Archos 704. Whereas the 704 topped out at 80GB of storage, the Archos 7 provides up to 320GB and is also said to offer better video playback.
