I was going to buy one of these (maybe not this exact model, but an archos).. until I realized that I would have to spend another couple hundred dollars in add-ons and upgrades before it did what I wanted. I think I'll pass.

(Charging for an internet browser? f'k off.)

Opera will be charging _them_ :)

It works if you realise the archos ISN'T amazingly cheap, it's just modular... with all options and gizmos it costs the same as competitors. The advantage is, you just pay for the ones you want.

eg I have no interest in random apple-sponsored codecs, I transcode all my media before transfer and save myself the licensing fee
