PS. It's almost exactly of the dimensions of the N800, see here
I rather like the idea of a cheap core hardware with LOTS of accessories that I can buy to supe it up externally. Especially if it means that the core device is a perfect portable and a great home docked station.

What's all this about carrying more than one thing? What else are you expecting to carry around with an Internet Tablet? Couldn't care that you can't wait for the N900... I don't want it. This Archos seems a tad more in-line with what I wanted, although I'd really prefer the clamshell style of the Pandora and the SD-centric design on the N800 and Pandora... but otherwise, this Archos 5 seems to be right up my alley.
