Archos have just announced the TV Connect.

It future proofs your existing HDTV with this simple over-the-top box, with its a multi-gesture TV Touch remote with game control mapping providing a full multi-touch Android for TV experience. So suddenly you have Google Play store on your TV, video calling, Internet, Apps and Games with a game mapping tool, gesture controls, light wand control, as well as full keyboard for text entry.

The device has 8gb memory, a micro SD slot, HD camera, micro and normal USB slots, wifi, Ethernet, led notifications, mini hdmi , microphone and front camera. Archos have really nailed this one, and made the Apple TV box seem archaic.

I can’t wait to give this gadget a good road test. What do you guys think?
