<div>This sounds like a cool device. Can anyone comment on the
quality of the screen and how videos look when playing back? Dead/stuck
pixels?</div>
</blockquote>
Playback quality is super smooth, better than my DVD player that plays
Xvids. My videos are encoded with 920kbps (Xvid). The screen is great,
I find it does well in sunlight (I regularly watch videos in my car or
bus). The screen is 4.3" and display at 800x480 with 16 million
colours. I have no dead or stuck pixels.<br>
<br>
If archos would open up the platform, it would have the potential to be
an ultra-portable PC.<br>
<br>
BTW I do know that the 605 has been hacked to allow people to ssh into
the device (but I haven't felt like doing it yet). It runs linux btw.<br>
