You can surf the internet, but many of the pages are too big to view properly - think of a pda. (see my post above, it talks about wht I like about the wifi)
You are able to zoom in or out, change from landscape to portrait and make the page you are viewing bigger or smaller.
It currently has no support for flash or java but that is supposedly in the works.
Even with it's shortcomings it is an incredibly versitle device. The SQ is very good especially after the latest firmware.
The engeneers have been very responsive in listening to user requests and publishing frquent firmware upgrades. Archos has a huge investment in this product line.
All I can say is everyone is always looking for the "perfect" device - you are never going to find it.
If you buy this (or any) device you can find plenty of things about it to complain about if you want to.
However I personally have few gripes w/this player and will tell you that of all the players that I own, this is one of my favs.
Before buying be sure to check out:

Good luck, enjoy it if you buy it
