Being the owner of previous Archos products, I have a very bad taste in my mouth from their products. The other boards are already confirming that the base Android OS and certain apps are integrated into the flash and check the encrption key that is hardcoded into the chip on the device. The same way that it prevented any of their previous devices from running updates from other sources or from running other OS, i.e. Maemo. If you want a very locked down system, i.e. no Flash 10 support, then by all means, go buy one. In have a 704wifi that is still a great DVR after 4 years, but you will NOT be able to expand it or customize it, just load the applications that they allow you to, as long as you do not try and mess with their base system. Be prewarned befor you lay out you $$$$$.
