This + netbooks/ultraportable is probably a very good combo rather than UMPC + anything for someone on the go ie

netbook/ultraportable (computer and media point for other devices like digital cameras and their SD cards)
archos (PMP, external storage and backup)

This'll last me a month's trip into Indonesia!

As far as Archos providing a plug-in - there's nothing mentioned on their website and they've never bothered to provide one in the past. I'd be amazed if it ever happened. If it did I'd probably run out and buy one the next day.

Our needs have changed. We store television shows in HD now, dumped in H264/AC3 MKVs. The new Archos range doesn't support that so it's useless to people like me.

I hate how its concentrating more on the Internet/other aspects when it's supposed to stick to being the king of media players (in other words most codecs/resolutions).

I guess Archos has forever lost me as a customer. I'm waiting on compact UMPCs/Tablets with dual-core Atoms and decent-sized SSDs -- having a PC on the go should sort out codec issues even if it introduces a short battery-life issue.

I am hoping that since it supports WMV 720p HD, that it should as well be able to support H264 720p using the MKV container, and also hoping that there is some trick to store MKV files larger then 4GB on this devices FAT32 formatted hard drive.]]>Aug 20th 2008 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/archos-5-5g-and-7-internet-media-tablets-are-here-to-slap-you/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/19/archos-5-5g-and-7-internet-media-tablets-are-here-to-slap-you/Aug 19th 2008 1:23PM
