I don't have experience with the archos 5 internet tablet but I was thinking seriously of buying one until I got my phone.

Archos preloads it with a demo of NDrive navigation software which is the same thing I have a demo of on my phone. I find NDrive to be super flaky and crashes at least once every time I use it.
