The Archos 8gb, 16gb, and 32gb versions have microsd card slots while the n810 has minisd card slot. However 160gb and 500gb versions don't have memory card slots. As for the physical keyboard on the n810 is decent but not enough to be a deal maker for me if it was as good as the keyboard on the Htc Touch Pro 2 or MyTouch 3g Slide then you may have an argument but the virtual on one the Archos is just fine.

I wonder does the Nokia n810 have an fm radio or fm transmitter. I know the n900 does but that thing is way more expensive.

@railroadmaster
N800 has a FM radio. No transmitter (only Nokias that do are AFAIK N97 and N900). Good luck finding a N800 though.

the transmitter in the archos only officially activates when docked in the car dock, right?

Actually it can do it without the car doc you go into the settings and fm transmitter and select where you want to to transmit sound to.

hmm, interesting. I thought i read a update log claiming that it had become dependent on detecting the car dock.

Actually in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZjSoKn01VU it show the fm transmitter about to be used.

Re: Archos 5 Internet Tablet
 
that video is nearly a year old. There have been quite a few firmware updates since that video got made.

ah, here we go: http://wiki.archosfans.com/index.php...FM_Transmitter


note this bit:
Quote:
The FM transmitter option no longer works simply by using a pair of headphones. That option was deemed as inferior and because it didn't work for so many, Archos now requires the use of the car mount's car charger cable for the FM transmitter to be activated.
