Well, the ipod still beats the crap out of the Archos stuff ...

I agree that the rockbox software turns it into a better player... amazing archos couldn't do that themselves...</font>

I dearly want to like the iPod, but it carries the typical Apple baggage:

Twice as expensive ($500 for 20gb compared to archos $250)
Non mainstream interface (Firewire vs USB)
Only recently added windows support (Don't market to the masses)
