It too is very interesting but I believe the ereader apps will be much better on the color nook. Having a major app focus with a proven history is an excellent hook vs a general list of good but overall unimpressive features. The reader is still a major hook for me and I don't believe the generic andriod app version will compete in the near term with the color nook version.

Also, Archos, while a good company in the past, hasn't been so great about producing good products lately. As well as a fiasco recently where they charged existing owners for an update that provided extra video codec support. I'm not too confident about purchasing an Archos product these days.
