Thanks
No, that was one of Archos's older devices. Back before Archos released the internet tablets, they developed several generations of media players that used ArchOS, their proprietary OS. I still have my Archos 705 somewhere. It's not all that great as a media player, and it's a disappointment as a web browser.

The Archos 5 runs Android, which is considerably more open than ArchOS.
