I picked up an Archos 32 for the same reason. It was cheap (just over $100) and it will run linux if I want to switch. Right now, 2.2 is entertaining and curiously enough, surprisingly robust. I even use it with my Asterisk system. Email and RSS are the primary requirements. I do like access to Youtube and the browser. Even VNC client was a bonus. It is replacing my N800 with maemo. The battery isn't replaceable, so I figure about 2 years before I get my next playtoy. I got more than I expected for the price.
