  • Why has this gotten 10.0?

    This doesn't deserve 10.0! It doesn't have any real pros, except a big screen! The Archos 7 is way better, but that is to big. the archos 5 is the 10 candidate. Or Creative Zen X-Fi. This isn't a popularity contest, but a quality test. I am asking why this got a 10, when it at most deserves a 7.5 or 8.0?
