I am probably going to buy a ARCHOS 7 device pretty soon. I believe that they are the same board as the one from Kmart, repackaged. Here is a link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882501013. This one looks good, too: http://www.chinanewfashion.com/products/product_17689.htm

There appear to be 2 basic types. One has a VIA processor and most people seem to hate that one. The other type has a Rockchip processor and that one seems to be better. The one from Kmart looks to be the same as the ARCHOS 7, but with less memory. (The ARCHOS has 8G of flash)

This is the important part: It looks as though ARCHOS is actively supporting developers. They have pointers to rooted firmware here: http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=us&lang=en See the last panel.

Some also appear to have GPS, gravity sensor, screen facing camera, and lots of other stuff.

Anyhow, I am tired of looking at this stuff. I would love to hear comments, though.

All the best!

Resistance. Here's a video demo. Unfortunately the guy is a iPhone and iPad user so wasn't that familiar with Android. My local K-Mart has two in the display case. I was tempted but I think I'll wait to see what folks who did bite think.

Does it have multitouch? Or is it a resistive touch screen.

It is advertising both free and paid apps through Android Market.
