The Archos 5 Internet Tablet (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/archos-5-internet-tablet-makes-an-honest-pmp-out-of-android/) hasn't had the smoothest ride (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/12/archos-5-has-99-problems-and-a-glitch-is-one-160gb-version-pull/) into the commercial realm, but thanks to a few firmware updates (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/archos-5-firmware-1-1-01-rights-all-wrongs/), the Android-based player seems to finally be humming along just fine. That said, not everyone's interested in shelling out big bucks for a capacious version, which makes the latest edition perfect for those simply curious to see how Google's mobile OS fares on a portable media player. The 8GB model has surfaced over at Radio Shack, bringing with it all the goods on the larger siblings but with far less internal space. The best part? That $249.99 price tag (and that little "In Stock" icon beside it).Android-based Archos 5 Internet Tablet surfaces in 8GB form for $250 (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/08/android-based-archos-5-internet-tablet-surfaces-in-8gb-form-for/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 08 Dec 2009 10:28:00 EST.
