The Archos: Look at this. None of your weedy iPoddery here. This mp3 player is METAL. And it's got RUGGEDY bits on it. This thing has been dropped on the pavement outside pubs, pushed off shelves onto wooden floors by cats that are just begging me to microwave them, had shit spilled on it, was once kind of accidentally exposed to fire, and it still works perfectly. It is immortal. This is a Man's mp3 player. Archos -- For Men. It's shorter than an iPod, slips in the inside jacket pocket easily. Using a pair of general Sony street-style phones with it at the moment. It's about half-full -- ten gigs. Just loaded a bunch of Kinski, My Bloody Valentine, Mum, Young People, Secret Machines, Jillian Ann, DeathBoy, Chion Wolf and Curiosity Valentine on to it for the flight on Wednesday. -- Warren Ellis, gizmodo interview
