Thanks for your thoughts.
I hadn't run across the "Archos 5 Internet Tablet" before. The Touch is much more what I want. I knew that I'd need to connect to the net to do the initial firmware installation and later updates. I did not expect its need to regularly call home. I needed to "borrow" a neighbor's (weak) wireless connection to get the clock working. My primary location for the Touch does NOT currently have an internet connection. I simply wanted to: Play ripped CDs (and some 24/88.2 downloads) from a small portable USB disk; Have a nice small control display; and Connect to my existing audio system. -- R Johnson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R Johnson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36462 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=77810 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
