A review of the Archos 5 Internet Tablet has been posted over at Nate's Ebook News. 'The Archos 5 is both thin and just the right size that I can hold it in portrait in one hand. It was nice to hold, and having used PDAs with 4" and 3" screen I was quite pleased with the 4.8" wide screen. There's no stylus, but the screen was reasonably fingertip friendly. The hardware is great, but I had serious issues with the software. I'm about to return this tablet, again, because it keeps crashing. I can live with system crashes for a little while, but the first unit also lost Wifi. I've also had to force a reboot a number of times because half the screen went black.
