Archos Launching Android 3G PMP On June 11th?

Archos have announced a press event to be held on June 11th in Paris, France.  While there's no actual written confirmation of what the event might be about, the shadowy PMP/MID device visible on the invite and the bright green color-scheme has led to speculation that it concerns Archos' Android-based Internet Media Tablet (IMT) phone.

The company announced that they would be developing an Android device back in February, with the IMT measuring just 10mm thick and having a 5-inch high resolution touchscreen.  Connectivity will include not only WiFi, like existing PMPs from Archos, but 3.5G HSUPA/HSDPA for up to 7.2Mbps downloads.

Archos then tipped the Android IMT for a roughly July launch in their financial performance report.  We're expecting the device to include DivX, Adobe Flash and full-screen Flash video support, to have up to 500GB storage and run for up to 7hrs of video playback on a single charge.
