Actually, the archos 101 does look a lot better. They actually have released the hardware specs on that as well, and it's comperable to the ipad, so hopefully that means it won't be sluggish like the Velocity Micro Cruz. I'd much rather use something that works out of box like this than something that I'd have to potentially fight with to get working the way I want. The only thing that the Asus Eee PC T101MT-EU17-BK has over it is that 160gb hard drive, which would let me keep all my PDF's on it instead of having to swap out with a MicroSD card. But I think I could live with that, especially since it falls a couple hundred short of my upper spending limit. That did help, thanks!
