Archos 5

Is a great device. A "Internet Media Tablet" it works great for my uses. The music and video player is flawless, and sound great. The internet browser works well for mobile uses, but can't nearly compare to a computer experience. Flash 9 support is nice. Email app works great. Mobile TV is cool, but not useful. PDF viewer is slow as molasses, but gets the job done.

Its thick, but still pocketable. The touch screen is amazing. On par or better with the Iphone/touch. It sounds better then my ipod. The built in speaker is weak, but its there. 120gb of storage is amazing.

But, is it better then a touch/iphone? No. The only thing that set the deal for me was the 120gb of storage. A Necessity for me. The apps make the iphone/touch what they are. I would have preferred a 120gb iphone, but this foots the bill nicely.
