I stepped into this thread because I feel a greatly overlooked aspect of the tablet vs iPhone vs Archos chatter is that even though its not *great* with some video media, its media access capabilities are really strong. You simply cannot beat the fact that its a UMPC. That means that it can do a lot of extra stuff such as SSH - VOIP etc but still show me the iPhone or Archos that can connect to a torrent tracker, download an entire album in zip format, unzip it and load it into a media player that grabs album art from the internet in <10 minutes, while sitting on a park bench. Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but when I did that last week next to my buddy who was playing with his ipod Touch, even he could agree that there was a definite advantage to the IT.
