Comment on Motorola XOOM priced at $800parent

This is a huge frustration to me as a developer, I wish I could buy an iPod touch style android device.

Archos has an entire line, from 2" screens to 10" screens.

Thanks for the suggestion. The Archos 32 http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_32it/index.html?cou... seems like the closest to an android phone in terms of size.

Samsung were talking about making a galaxy player, I think they've released it in some places, perhaps not world wide?

Only in Korea. No plans for releasing it anywhere else.

Edit: Gadget blogs suck. Everyone I looked at says something different, it might be the case that the Player is also available somewhere in Europe. I can‘t buy it on amazon.de (Germany), though. To continue the theme of this discussion: The price also sucks when compared to the iPod touch (something between 200€ and 260€ for the 8GB model, you pay 230€ for the 8GB iPod touch).

The closest thing I've seen is a Zii Egg: they just released an Android 2.1 build to developers.
