N900 has composite out.
That seems to be correct re: OMAP3 usage by both n900 and archos 5. However the current situation is that 720p resolution files are rejected by the dsp decoders used in the N900. Best to file a bug report if you really want 720p playback on a system that has a max resolution of 800x480. I believe the dsp video decoders on thne n900 have been made by TI (makers of the OMAP3) while ones that support 720p on same hardware have been done by 3rd parties like Ingenient. I may be wrong on this though.
