Rumor has it that the French company Archos is releasing a new model in 2008 that has a 3G SIM card and high-speed connectivity. French tech sites say that the wireless connectivity will build on Archos’ strengths with the WiFi connectivity in their players, allowing users to access media over mobile phone networks rather than through WLAN set-ups. The story gets even juicier with reports that say the company intends to partner up with Orange at the lunch, which is the carrier that offers the Apple iPhone in France. SFR and Neuf-Cegetel are reported to have shown interest in the new PMP too.
