I saw the Archos and wanted to get it for my wife while she worked out. I actually saw it for $99 a few months ago. I saw skeptical, so I asked around. A friend of mine who commutes to NYC has it, but he replaced it 2 times so far. The reason it got damaged was not from dropping it. He is a very hard walker. He pounds his feet when he walks. All the pounding shook loose the mechanism inside of it. It is like a small hard drive inside, not a memory card. So far Archos replaced it both times for free for him. He loves it. I guess it depends on what you are using it for. If it is for workouts, it may not be for you.
