To me that looks like it's just about perfect, with the only downsides being that it runs a hobbled OS and that the screen is not multitouch. I'd definitely consider one for surfing around the house and as a home entertainment device (mostly audio) especially if it had HDMI out. $500 is pricey considering where netbooks have dropped these days, but not too bad in the scheme of things.
Holy crap. How did this turn into an Apple thread? This is an Archos product! Read it for what it is, a new interesting gadget.
Why does every damn PMP, Tablet (now), and laptop thread have to turn into "my Apple/Windows/Linux/Unix computer is better than all others and you are retarded for thinking otherwise?"
Looks a lot like the crunchpad to me, albeit at twice the price.
I had a pepperpad for a bit and I thought it was a pretty great device for brosing at home and entertaining on the road. But it had a keyboard that made it much easier to use. I'd buy one of those again if it came with windows and a decent ssd.

Not sure I like the keyboard though. Maybe a natural version of it would have been better for this application.
