I have one and its worth the purchase. I bought it on Boxing Day 2007 and its been working awesome ever since. The only downside is you have to pay for the plugins (Web browser, Video, Web TV, Web Radio). Apart from that this baby is awesome. It plays lot of video formats (with the optional plugins) and quality is excellent.
The touch screen compatibility is perfect. The use of stylus is really unnecessary. Quality of music streams from Web Radio is pretty good and accessible worldwide. I can watch and listen to asian streams or European streams as long as you have Wifi.
The internet is pretty fast with multiple tab features. You could download and play Java games too which is pretty neat.
Its not too heavy and the battery life is really long.
With a optional DVR adapter, you could record directly from TV, schedule TV programs, etc. The quality/playback of recorded programs are excellent.
I would definitely recommend anyone considering to buy Archos 605 Wifi (80GB). If you want a bigger screensize, you could opt for Archos 705 Wifi or even the GPS version.
