  1. Catch up with the times Archos... by }InFuZeD{ · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This thing looks really cool... I mean awesome, except for two things.

    First, it's $800. Second, it has a 320x240 screen. Who wants a screen that small anymore? You get better resolution on any $100 Palm now...

  2. Look at the Price!! by allden · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I can get powerful laptops at this price.
