| Sure, you might not spend long nights writing new widgets and

| someone will.. and when they're done, they'll probably release the
| source code. No word yet on how easy or hard software tinkering
| is on the device.

Archos (Linux-based) 604 WiFi Ultimate Gallery: Why It's a Zune Challenger
,----[ Quote ]
| The Zune, which comes out next week, isn't the only WiFi media player
| out there, remember. The Archos 604 is here today, and I think the
| Archos might be better by some measures. Simply said, the
| 4.3-inch touchscreen is perfect, and extremely fingerprint
| resistant.

| terrain of technology needs on the go.
