I didn't consider the iPads cost when I posted as most eInks around that size aren't really much cheaper. But otherwise a good point. Cost wise I went with the smallest iPad model available. I still wish I had spent 100 more for the GPS thingy (it just seems like a great feature to play with).
If possible I would advise checking out the archos vs. an iPad in store, just to see how one operates the units.
I'm pretty satisfied with my iPad. I think one of its main advantages is that the OS and GUI were made for a touch device. I don't know how this is with the archos.
But I did put a remote app on my iPad to have remote access to my win7 machine, and win7, even if some icons are a bit bigger due to the in built touch functions still seems to be programmed around "mouse-and-cursor"-centric operation.
