| Geeks.com sent us in one of their consumer electronics, the Linux-based 
| Archos 604 PMP for a whirl, and we surely gave it one. This 30 GB PMP is the 
| fourth generation video product from Archos, one of the biggest names in that 
| market.

| Very little is known about the functionality so far, but that whole
| "Mobile DVR" tag on the name could imply that Archos is packing a
| bit more TV-centric functionality into the device -- rumors have
| mentioned the possibility of a built-in TV tuner -- or perhaps just
| trying to position the same old, same old a tad bit better in the market.

This happens to come from Samsung, which betrayed Linux by signing a patent
deal with Microsoft. The deal included Linux (despite the fact that Microsoft
lies about patents).
