We have seen images of this yet to be named Android MID making the rounds for a few weeks now, and once again there has been another set released. Unfortunately, while this latest set of images does provide some nice views, it once again comes with no details which ultimately means we still have a mystery device.
Some are speculating that this could be the Archos device that is expected to be released on September 15, and the timing would seem appropriate. Otherwise, the team over at SlashGear have suggested that it may be the Wallet MID that is upcoming from eviGroup.
The Wallet MID is expected to be available sometime before the end of the year and will be featuring a 5-inch touchscreen display and be a “unit halfway between a cellphone and a TabletPC.”
Basically, what we have is a nice looking device that is still a mystery.

Three things rule out the Archos suggestion to me;
1) The lack of a customer status bar. AppsLib.com states quite clearly there are buttons in it (see http://appslib.com/img/website/screen_dev_big.jpg... the deivce shown hasn't got buttons in the status bar.
2) Styling. Every Archos device I've seen has their name stamped on the front (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos for examples), this doesn't.
3) Naming. The device is called the "ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet" according to appslib.com, it'd be bizzarre to give the same name as an existing product to something that totally changes the styling and OS.
I don't know what it is, but I very much doubt its' the Archos device.
