As James Kendrick noted on GigaOm over the weekend, ARCHOS has set a date--September 15th--for the launch of its new ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet. ARCHOS has made quite a few popular video-centric devices over the years, and this new gadget will have a 5-inch display designed for HD video, a fast chip optimized for video processing, and a 500GB hard drive. In conjunction, though, ARCHOS is also launching AppsLib, a dedicated app store for high-end Android-based devices. Do we really need fragmentation among Android app stores?
