Interesting.... I just set my eyes on the Archos 5 and then stumbled onto this thread. The specs and price do look very very attractive, especially when the price is compared to the N900. I absolutely love my N810, but the hardware just isn't powerful enough for today's HD movies. Plus, I prefer the size of the Archos 5 over the N900. Too bad the Archos can't be modded to run something like Maemo.
