I held out on these portable deivices for quite some time, and judging by your post, it seems like it may have paid off. Why? Because the latest Archos is much improved. The touch screen is a very nice "touch". Looks very promising indeed.

That's wonderful, perhaps they can take a few whacks at pushing the design envelope?

Well...if I sell one arm and leg I'll still have another arm and leg to enjoy it....right...?

People are complaining about the price? Sheesh man. Fuck.

Internet, Divx, MP3 and WMA, E-mail, TiVo, adress book, games. Sorry, that is fuckin cheap as hell. If they had a larger capacity, I'd get rid of what I have and buy that. The interface is easy as hell to use as I can see. Minor design changes from what I have. This is dope

looks awesome. way out of my price range, though.. for c.a. 2 years+.

Looks incredible, but out of my range as well, maybe in a year or so.
