We'd already heard that Archos' Android-based phone tablet (http://www.engadget.com/tag/archosphonetablet) might be in trouble if the company wasn't able to line up at least two carriers (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/16/archos-phone-tablet-in-limbo-awaiting-at-least-two-major-opera/) to support it, and it looks like that unfortunate end may have now come to pass. While Archos itself still isn't saying anything, French daily Les Echos is reporting that the company has indeed shelved its plans for the phone, and is apparently returning its focus to its line of non-phone internet tablets (http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/04/archos-announces-new-line-of-internet-tablets-for-summer-2010/). Of course, the phone does still exist, so there's always a slight chance that it could make a comeback, but the word out of CeBIT seems to be painting a pretty grim picture.
