Archos to introduce new media players with SIM cards

Word on the street has it that Archose will be introducing a new line of portable media players that come with SIM card slots. One can only speculate as to why Archos would want to do that, and chances are this SIM card will be used to give user access to 3G networks as well as the capability of downloading music on-demand without the need for a WiFi hotspot. Orange has so far been targeted as a possible network partner, although recent ripples in the industry seem to point toward AT&T and Neuf-Cegetel as well. As with any other rumor, time will tell and verify its truth.
