This review is from: Archos 70 - 250 GB Internet Tablet (Black) (Electronics)
I have had it for 2 weeks now and I am happy - not overjoyed. Lots of space after my 32 gb ipod ran out. I also keep 30 gb of photos and this third backup gives me peace of mind. I love that it mounts as a disk unlike Apple products - you actually are allowed to control the device you own. Open source is a big plus in my world. Easy to install google app market with another app. I plan to backup all my work (we are an XP only workplace) on it and use as external hard disk when I take my small laptop running Ubuntu on trips. Call home no problem.
My biggest issue is that it is a bit slow. Battery life is poor. Playing music about 1% battery loss per minute.
I consider it an external hardrive that plays my music backs up everything important and lets me do some extras like email and video call home.
