Laptops, iPhones, Netbooks all sit amongst the most wanted portable consumer electronics that are being leveraged for both entertainment and business applications. Most recently internet tablets have been gaining momentum with recent launches. Specifically, Archos recently announced its Archos 5 internet tablet which includes ThinkFree support for Office and PDF type documents. With a strong review of the Archos 5, CNET has delivered confidence amongst early adopters for the new internet tablets. Combine that with the integration and support of major software including Google’s Android, Twitter, IM, LinkedIn, Wikipedia and you get a sense of this internet tablet that will play many roles including mobile business support. While the challenge of viewing apps and documents on smaller screens such as an iPhone has not been overcome, internet tablets are banking on larger screens and touch capabilities to deliver a fully functional (with editing capabilities) mobile tablet.
