Indeed. I was looking at IIRC the 700 series (tho might have been the |
| 9 |
500), and came to the same conclusion. The simple fact is that nothing |
| 10 |
they currently have available seems to be even remotely close to being |
| 11 |
supported by the community stuff. By the time it is, it's very likely they |
| 12 |
won't be selling it any more. |

For that reason, I'm writing Archos off as a choice at this point in time. |

Due to their popularity, support for iPods is a fairly good gamble, even |
| 16 |
yet to be released models with different hardware. It may take awhile, |
| 17 |
but it's fairly likely to happen. The iriver h10s look to be the only |
| 18 |
other close to viable alternatives in the 20+ gig range, at this point. |
| 19 |
There are several sub-10GB flash based players in various stages of |
| 20 |
support, but that's not what I'm looking at. |
