Blockbuster to push digital OnDemand videos with custom Archos 10 netbooks

The other day Blockbuster announced a tie-up with Samsung to push its digital video download service, Blockbuster OnDemand. Today, the movie retailer says it'll also offer a custom version of the Archos 10 netbook. The 10-inch portable will have a shortcut to the Blockbuster OnDemand on its homepage and will also be cheaper than the usual Archos 10, retailing for only $300.

The Archos 10 has the usual hardware specs that accompany the majority of the netbooks on the market today including a 1.6 MHz Intel Atom CPU, 1 GB of RAM, a 160 GB hard drive, Windows XP and a webcam. The netbook does boast better software than most models though, with custom apps for online TV and audio consumption and photo-viewing.
