Archos Is Great, But...

I've got an Archos Jukebox 10, and it's great, but Archos' devices in general have two flaws:

1) They're too big. Look at an Ipod or the new device from Napster/Samsung, and then at an Archos device.

2) There's no price incentive to buy an Archos device. As another poster pointed out, to get the same kind of functionality from Archos that you get from the other players in this space, you're talking about the same amount of money for a device that's bigger. Yes, a comparable Archos has more multimedia features, but it's still not what users have in mind.

I've looked at the current crop of music services. My guess is that the Apple service will win out, because it's got the best features and selection. Therefore, I'll probably be looking at getting an Ipod.
