The article doesn't seem like a real attempt at testing anything, just something to get pageviews.

the problem is that it can be affected by adds loaded (flash, javascript), wifi signal quality at the moment (or a bothersome router/ap with no understanding for power saving signals), or just about anything else network or server related...

Actually it's pretty difficult to tell you which is better objectively. I can tell you subjectively why I think my n800 is better than the archos5 or iphone: It's more open and hackable. If you want us to help you figure out what's better for you, then you at least need to say what you plan to do with the device. Web surfing? movie watching?

People feel comfortable using different devices and systems.
On the desktop I prefer windows, for my handheld I like my Nokia.
The iphouch devices certainly have their skills and I take my hat off to Apple for producing such a great end user product.
However I don't see why the nokia cannot also have shinyness and speed and ways to differentiate itself from the crowd.
We have a lot of hardware on this device and features which let us do a whole lot more than the restricted locked in devices, and the next generation is looking to be even stronger.
I would say the future is bright for this platform, this community are innovators and we will continue to leave our mark in numerous areas for years to come.

In other news, just look at some of the crap Archos pushes on you to "complete" the product:
DVR Station ($100)
DVR Snap-On (N/A)
Mini Dock ($30)
Battery Dock ($50)
GPS car holder (N/A)
Helmet Cam (N/A)
FM Remote (N/A)
and the plugins:
Cinema, Video Podcast, and HiDef Video ($30 for all of them)
Seriously, if added in the functionality of these things INTO the product, and sold it for 100 dollars more, it would be SO much better. Now, there are 4 docking solution, and a bunch of confusing stuff, that most people would be overwhelmed. And, going by the current prices and the prices for the last generation, the
DVR Dock + GPS + FM radio + Camera + Plugins = $300 or more!!!
So, if you want the full functionality, it is over $700 (with taxes)!!
