Can't wait for them both to hit BestBuy so I can get a hands-on eval of my own.
Well, not so fast! The Archos site no longer lists this as available, returning the "Notify Me" button to its page instead of a link to make an order.

Edit: We'll see, but the perspective from pocketables.net is that it went back to "Notify Me" because it sold out in <24 hrs. Is that spin?

I ordered a 70 last evening, worked just fine. Got the billing confirmation, but still waiting for shipping confirmation.

I'm excited about it. I was thinking to myself, as soon as decent tablets come in the $200-300 range I would think about it, and Archos answered swiftly.

I mean, it's not a beast by any means, but a 1ghz, Open GL, Capacitive 800x480, HDMI out tablet is a pretty good deal. Maybe I'll write up a mini review here when I get it.
