Archos also showed off its Classmate PC at a media event in London on Thursday.

Pitched to the education sector, we've seen the Classmate in another guise as the FizzBook Bang. Archos have at least kept the name of its original form, the Intel Classmate PC.

With an integrated handle, the Classmate is shock-proof and waterproof with a keyboard designed especially for kids, although adults may well find it just too small to use.

Complete with educational software, the 9-inch Classmate boasts an Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM memory, a webcam, 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Ethernet connections and Windows XP.

The Archos Classmate can be yours for £319.99.
