According to the Archos website, the 705 comes with a remote control that has a built in keyboard. (It's probably closer to a thumb-board.) But how many devices in this price range have a 7" touchscreen and a keyboard?

You know, I really think I might get this device. It has most everything I want.

big touchscreen
< 2 pounds
keyboard
Wifi
USB host

The main downside of this device is the difficulty of hacking it to provide more functions. The easiest way around this limitation might be to find or modify plug-ins for Opera, the web browser.

P.S. I think this should be moved to the Lounge, since the thread is rapidly becoming my love note to the 705.
