The Android-powered Archos 5 portable multimedia player is now being offered online through Amazon. The device is equipped with a 5-inch screen that supports an 800×480 pixel resolution.

The Archos 5 will be available in a flash model at 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB capacities (with a MicroSD card slot) and a hard drive version with a choice of 160GB ($390) or 500GB ($500).

Thanks to its ARM Cortex-A8 processor, the Archos 5 is capable of decoding 720p HD video smoothly and has an optional HDMI dock that lets users output the video at its full resolution.

In addition, the Archos 5 offers some functionality that is optional via paid extras. If you have the DVR station accessory (or purchase the new one), you’ll be able to record video. The device has an excellent integrated GPS (with a neat real-3D option), which allows you to access for free (for the first month) and then will have the option to buy flat out.
