Archos enters the netbook market with the Archos 10

Archos, a brand better known for portable media players, has announced they are entering the crowded netbook market with the introduction of the new Archos 10 Mini Laptop. From the standpoint of specifications, the Archos 10 is your average 10 inch netbook. You get the following:

Intel Atom processor
10.2 inch, 1024 x 600 resolution LED dispaly
Weight of less than 1.3 Kg
160GB hard drive
802.11b/g Wi-Fi
10/100 Ethernet

The system also comes with a variety of bundled software applications including Lotus Symphony, Skype, BitDefender Antivirus, Xnview, and Outlook Express (which is replaced actually with Windows Live Mail now).

Where Archos is really trying to differentiate the Archos 10 is in the area of media. The netbook will feature instant access to ARCHOS Media Club which provides video on demand content. This will be available as a £40 promotion offer. Users will be able to download content for rent or purchase directly onto the Archos 10 system. You’ll also have instant access to free music via Deezer. If you’re up for a little TV programming, you’ll have instant access to approximately 1,000 Web TV channels, 10,000 Web radio stations, and 100,000 podcasts via vTuner.

The Archos 10 will be available this month for a price of £349 (approx $459 U.S. dollars).
