Say hello to the “fresh-off-the-press” ARCHOS 35 Home Connect, which is available immediately beginning today. The 35 Home Connect is an Android-powered portable radio and alarm clock that blows away conventional devices that offer the same functionality. The device features a 1 GHz Omap 3630 processor with OpenGL ES 2.0 graphic acceleration, 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen and 4 GB of internal storage, expandable to 16 GB via the device’s SD slot. As for Android flavoring, the device falls a bit short — there’s no Honeycomb, nor is their Gingerbread, and there’s definitely no ICS — Froyo was ARCHOS’ choice, which I find a bit puzzling.
