The ipod and the Archos are two totally different machines. Even though you can watch videos on the pod, I really seldom choose to do that.

When I go somewhere and want to watch a movie or two (ie plane, long car trip, doctor's office, etc) I love using my Archos. Since it also does a great job with music, if I want to listen to tunes in addition to or instead of they are there.

IMHO the Archos is much more versitile, but it's a bit bigger and heavier - not a deal breaker for me. If you don't mind the increase in size that 80g you were looking at, is a great deal. I would get it over the pod if I could only get one, but that's me.

It's a well built machine.
