Could it replace the apple TV ?
The integrated webcam system seems interesting, and so is the remote control for games.

This + XBMC could put an end to my XBMC PC.....

In the pre-iPad days, I owned many Archos iterations of their products. This product, like all others before it, is likely doomed to fail due to Archos' HIDEOUS support model. Absolutely horrid, like worse than old-Garmin-GPS-map-update-horrid.

They always come out with a cobbled-together gadget that they never support after release. I pity their future customers.
