Hmmmmm..... Ok, I will make a statement that ANY consumer can understand.

N800 -> About 200 Used
N810 -> About 300 New
Archos -> About 350 New

So, N810 is cheaper! Wow! Oh, and it has a more features, like Bluetooth, SD card slots, Real software, a keyboard, GPS, etc..... and don't have to pay for every additional feature! What a shocker!

The Archos is for playing music and watching Video. Unlike the iPhone or the N810, there will most likely never be a App Store like thing, because there is not enough demand. Apple opened up the floodgates, and now the iPhone has so many apps its amazing. The N810 was open since the start, and it too has so many apps. The Archos is a "dumb" device that will only work with what it shiped with. That is all there is to say...

What did the article mean by

"N810's power-saving mode was enabled for these tests because it is the default setting." ?

What power saving mode?

Actually it's pretty difficult to tell you which is better objectively. I can tell you subjectively why I think my n800 is better than the archos5 or iphone: It's more open and hackable. If you want us to help you figure out what's better for you, then you at least need to say what you plan to do with the device. Web surfing? movie watching?

Yeah, that makes sense. I highly doubt it was the CPU mode...

qole says it took about 30 seonds off the start time of open office with performance mode.
I notice great usability improvements when compiling on device and within lb.

Don't underestimate it - try it yourself with real tests outside of liqbase.

I don't know about you guys, but since I found WorldTV99, I've found another reason not to get an Archos.

Well, I just wanted to see the results for myself. Not meant to be scientific. This is on an N810 with the latest ssu. Engadget complete load times...

On-Demand: 41 seconds
Performance: 32 seconds

That's over my home wifi network, from the same location on both tests.
