Seriously pointless device.
That said I might get a Kindle though. Bookshelf space getting very crammed

I wish Archos would come out with an improved but slightly larger version of the PMA400. The Kindle won't fit in a pocket. The PMA400 is a Linux computer and you can downlload or cross-compile applications. The JustReader program makes it a book reader. The Kindle only has 2 gig of storage and this has 30 gig. I have 5 gig of music and can play music and while reading. It also records and plays video.
I don't know why they discontinued it unless it is too complicated for too many people. I bought mine off ebay. The man said he bought it for his wife and she used it one day and put it in the closet.

Now if it was just a little bit larger and had a fold down keyboard it would not need thos controls on the right side and could have a larger screen. Too much bigger and it wouldn't fit in a pocket. And then a 64 gig SSD and 600 MHz Snapdragon processor. It does pretty good for only 200 MHz.
I just saw one on ebay for $150 starting bid and no one was bidding. He didn't have a real picture so there was no way to tell how beat up it was.
um
