French webTV journalists from lachainetechno.tv were present at the MEDPI 2013 tradeshow last week in Monaco, they have just posted their report about the new ARCHOS Smartphones.

ARCHOS 50 Platinum smartphone release date in June ?
Grosbill French online store is one of the only shop to display a shipping date for ARCHOS 50 Platinum smartphones and is currently announcing for 14th of June 2013, this date being delayed every day lately. There is no clear sign that the availability for end of May announced by ARCHOS will be met, something which is quite common with ARCHOS, the GamePad has shipped with about 3 months delay, the TV Connect…
