“Archos 5 with Android” update #4 (160GB version pulled from Amazon for the time being)

By runagate

From Engadget comes the news that the 150 GB HHD version of the Archos 5 with Android has ceased being sold by Amazon due to glitches:

“Amazon customer reviews, however, paint a different picture: there are consistent complaints about bugs and lock ups — software issues that could well affect the other models in the line — with some going so far as to suggest Archos has used its customers as Beta testers. There doesn’t appear to be anything structurally wrong with the device, meaning a robust firmware update could remedy all ills, so now it’s just a matter of waiting for Archos to do what it should have done before release.”
