Nope. Nothing new.
Not from Samsung or Archos or anybody else.
Nobody has really shown any stomach for going after the iPod Touch since MS pulled the plug on the Zune hadware.
You'd think somebody would show an interest in the corporate PDA market..

The Samsung Players 5.0, 4.0, 3.6, and on and on do give you PDA capability and Wi-Fi as well just like the Apple iPod Touch.
What I would like though is for the Samsung Players with 800 pixels across all the screens (5", 4" and 3.6") to have the same or similar screen as the Samsung Note Phone. I think it is 1024 pixels across.
In Comparison the iPod Touch (and iPhone) has 954 pixels and the Archos 43, 854 pixels.
Those numbers might be slightly off. Apple just stripped out the phone part of the iPhone, and reduced the thickness cutting out the auto focus part of their camera and also slightly changed the IPS screen and cut out about $300 from the price and got their iPod Touch. (That is what I wish Samsung would do with their Note.)
The problem with a Smartphone is that you can't get it onto a carrier in the US as just a regular "feature" phone plus Wi-Fi. They won't do it, so you have to have 2 devices to get around the pricing obstacle, a regular phone and a Wi-Fi device that doesn't need cell service.
I just don't see the need to pay that extra smartphone monthly charge.
