Hello,
@Ndiddly: If you look for a link in my review that talks about the ColdSun Creations UI (near the bottom of the review), there is a link on the UI page to a bunch of free applications that do just about everything you need on the device. There are quite a few free applications for WinCE, and there are some pay applications. I have yet to find a free poker game (I like Texas Hold'Em) for the device yet. There are quite a few poker games that I think will work, but they are all like $10-$30 price range. I'm going to buy one soon.
Oh and I think you mean the W1060 not the Archos 7, correct?
I haven't tested the SmartV7, but I do have a SmartQ7. The SmartQ7 has a great community behind it and a lot of development going on right now. I never had flash working on my SmartQ7, but someone may have done that by now. On the other hand, I have had some flash (not all) working on the W1060. I need to test more flash games. It really is a tough choice between the two. The W1060 is faster for everything except web browsing (and that should be fixed with firmware, I HOPE). It also has a better build quality and smaller footprint than the SmartQ7. In the Q7's favor is you can run 4 (Mer, Linux, WinCE, Android) on the device - and that is amazingly cool. Also, it has buttons on the face which are great for paging in many different applications. It has been out longer than the W1060 and many bugs have been worked out. The V7, according to posts here, is also quite new and they are ironing out the bugs. This makes it a hard choice I know, but all I can do is try to educate you on each one and let you choose the one you feel the best about. You will hate me for this, but you should also look into the Archos 5 Android before you make a purchase. As I mentioned above, there will be a good review from Chippy at UMPCPortal very soon.
@AKD: The best all-around device. Boy is that a loaded question!
I'm going to have to say the Archos 5 Android, at least for now. News released just tonight is that users have hacked the device to support Android Marketplace and all Google apps. It won't be long before Archos releases an official firmware with the market built-in. It has excellent multimedia capabilities, and has proven speed against the best mobile devices out there. To answer your last question, the W1060 has a larger on-screen keyboard that is very finger friendly and attractive. If they can get Internet Explorer working better (without memory problems), Android working, and screen rotation fixed - it will be nearly as good as the Archos with a larger screen size. Of course, the Archos 5 Android also has several configurations that support multiple storage sizes (8GB to 500GB).
@jswinden: I disagree and calling these devices garbage is uncalled for. I've been reading on devices like this for many years. 800x480 on a 7 inch screen is actually quite good. Please refrain from starting the e-ink vs. LCD debate in this thread. There are likely 100 others you can do that in.
And if I was going to go by the theme of your sig, I would say: Never give an opinion if you are too close-minded to discuss it.
