Wodner if the hacking community can fix that? My G1 is better now that I run the Cyanogen mod. Hmm. Wodner if the hacking community can fix that? My G1 is better now that I run the Cyanogen mod.

I even remembered to charge it first. :) Seriously, I loved the hardware and really really wanted to like the device. Besides the video issues the device, the constant crashes and lockups and hidden costs all became just too much. Of course I did… I even remembered to charge it first. :)

What I don't understand is your problems with YouTube videos - from what I have read and saw Archos plays YouTube better than any other ARM based device on the market. Just look at this video - it plays HD YouTube Video quite well and in sync... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH8qhGPeDDY&feature=player_embedded Did you try to upgrade the firmware?

I sent one email about getting a refund for the HD Plugin and within hours they had taken care of it! One thing I musy add to this post- I have been very impressed with Archos’ customer service.
