I'm still waiting on my stupid cables... but in the meantime I can direct you to Charbax's "review" videos on youtube. (Charbax's reviews while useful in some ways mostly just praise whatever device Archos has put out)

I think it's his first video on the Archos 70 that shows it plugged into the TV. Skip to about 8:40 to see it plugged into his TV.

From the looks of it, I think you plug the 70 into the TV using HDMI, use the widget to switch modes and then your desktop is viewable on the screen. I think this mode turns the touchscreen into a trackpad so you can mouse-around on the external display.
