With news coming in of the next-gen iPod, you might be thinking the whole PMP/Internet tablet thing is a pretty good idea, so we thought we'd point you in the direction of Amazon.co.uk, who is selling the Archos 5 32GB for £230.

In our review the Archos 5 internet tablet, which runs the Android OS, was praised for its video capabilities, which proved excellent for watching content when out and about. The Archos 5 gets a 4.8-inch screen with 800 x 480 resolution and will play back 720p video.

Decent audio and a good internet experience, makes this one to look at, although the lack of Android Marketplace means you'll be restricted with app downloads.

At this lower price, it originally retailed at around the £270 mark, the Archos 5 is possibly worth considering, so after checking out our review you can head over to Amazon for a place to buy.
