Can't see the weight anywhere. Chippy, I think details should go in your Products section and do a review if you get the chance.

While I'm the first to point out that the number of cool and usable iPhone / iPod touch apps can be counted on one hand the general platform is pretty damn good. Installing applications on Symbian S60 3rd edition phones is also quite acceptable these days, the main issue there is that there's no central marketplace to search for and discover software.

I also agree with Micke and MIDs simply being too big. I'd much rather have a really powerful smartphone / PDA sized device combining Cortex A8, Android and Google's AppStore (another potentially major advantage compared to MIDs).

I will get mine around september 15th but expect reviews very soon on french archos-related websites. Cortex processor should completly change the way we see Internet on mobile devices. The Archos 5 is not a UMPC, it is smaller than a UMPC. 12mm thick is incredible for a such device of 60GB. It's an ultra small pocketable device. And get even more possibilities will all the avaible accessories. We can't really compare to a UMPC because Archos is not open-source and you cannot install your own OS on it but I think Internet on this little device should perform excessively well, especially with Flash content which other devices have problems with.
