Looks like VGA out - specs and comparison table with iPad and Archos 9 on
this page - in French, but you can get the gist of it. I wouldn't bank on being able to swap out the batteries easily; my guess would be that it's a screwdriver job, but who knows?
I think it's quite telling that the best they've managed to build is something almost twice as thick as an iPad but with less than half the battery life. Building one of these is clearly not quite as straightforward as some folks seem to think...
