The android based Archos 5 isn’t scheduled to be available by the 15th of September, and its prices were to be kept under wraps until the said date. But slip-ups always find a way to happen, and a certain little mistake by B&H did spill the beans, albeit for a short time. Currently, they are showing the tablet as to be soon available in a number of different memory options, with price currently listed as TBA, but the mistake earlier probably put the price up as well.
Screenshots posted at the forum ArchosFans show the Archos 5 listed with the marked prices. Going by these screenshots, the Archos 5 Internet tablet 16GB SSD will sell for $294, the 32GB SSD tablet will sell for $370, while the 160GB and 500GB HDD variants will be priced at $320 and $420 respectively. Going by the looks of things a $130 DVR station will also be available. The shots seem pretty concrete, but we’ll have to wait till the 15th to get to know the real deal.
