I suspect that the port under the battery is not intended for end-customer use and the "port" under my battery doesn't look like a card slot. It's likely there for testing like the port under the rubber foot that only looks like a second headphone port.

As for Archos, I liked my 605 well enough and you only pay for the add-on codecs and functionality that you want so you could also argue the basic unit is less expensive for that reason. The Archos 7 is very nice, my son got one and it's a bit thicker and heavier than my A81 with a screen I don't like as well. But it plays videos, surfs the web and so on while my A81 waits for a firmware update to make surfing bearable and videos playable. It does work great as a reader so I'm happy with it but I'd really like to have it do other things well, too. If all I wanted was a reader I'd have stuck with my Sony 500.
