I find it cute how he talks about travelling with his keyboard
The best thing about the Archos is its huge storage capacity. 30Gb! There is no way I could store that amount of data on my Dell Axim (I have a 2Gb SD Card and it constantly runs out of space). Other than that, I don't find a justification for spending $700+ on another gadget that apparantly doesn't do more than my Dell. I can play any DivX/XviD video as well, using the fantastic free BetaPlayer movie player for PPC.
I guess you have to be either really rich or not in the possession of an Axim X50v to be interested in buying this Archos device.
