Re: ipod
Its not even official. Everything that you have heard about the iPod video is just speculation. If they actually have such a thing as ipod "video" than they would have released it in their Paris Expo when they released the Nano (sexy) and ROKR (crappy).
And most people (like me) don't need their mp3 players to play videos so Archos is really not necessary. Ipods are really slick and sexy and easy to use for people who just want to listen to their music on their mp3 players and not end world poverty with it.
