Yeah. That's true. Guess I never saw that when I was checking it out. Too bad. That (and the non open source OS) seem like the only two barriers to it being a really good device.

How much does a pma400 go on ebay for? I saw a gmini, but I don't know if its the same thing...

I've always been told the Archos is really really slow. Any truth to that?

Not the same. Price for a PMA400 range from $450 - $700 according to froogle. $700 was the list price about 6 months ago.

Archos PMA
Sounds interesting. Same specs as the 770, except the OS isn't open source, although it is linux. It also has a 30gb hard drive, 8 hrs of battery life, and it can record live TV. It's $150 more than the 770, but that's not bad for 5 more hours of battery life, and a 30gb hard drive.
The main reason I didn't end up getting it was the lack of support from the open source community. There aren't any great sites like itt, maemo, or nokia770 for the archos.
Still an interesting competitor.
