They take sweet hardware, put some nice software on it, and completely lock down the device. Apple tried that, failed, and opened the App Store. Will Archos open a App Store? No...

But don't worry, someone will find a backdoor and unlock the device. Just like everything else.
Given how TI has spread the specs of the 3530 around (compared to the predecessor, that is), I should think it won't take long before the "5" and "7" get hacked wide open, if only because Archos' current firmware is heap crappy.
