It was just a matter of time. With the Archos Android announcement scheduled for September 15, the boys at the FCC have splayed the Android-powered MID that popped up on the AppsLib site. The A5S (#7501) was tested with a 5-inch touchscreen, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and FM transmitter/receiver.
Also mentioned in the user manual is the A5H (#7502), which may or may not pack built-in 3G WWAN. It could, however, show up on the A5S, but was not tested by the FCC. Both models should ship with a microSD slot and a microUSB port. One of the FCC images shows the A5S running a custom UI over the Android OS.

I don’t really see the point of a 5″ PMP. It’s not that much different from the phones/iPods that most people have already. If they’re going to go outside of the pocketable size, go for 7″ or 9″.
Oh, but I would buy one in an instant if it came with a double DIN mount. Would still prefer 7″ screen.
4.8″ fits perfectly well in a pocket. Even though the screen is 2x larger than on an iphone, and the resolution is 2.5x superior.
Wallets and passports are all designed at around 5″ in diagonal, you don’t see people complain that it doesn’t fit in a pocket.
you make an excellent point
