That player is supposedly the Archos 606, which is described as being the same size as the Archos 605, but with a screen 1-2 centimeters bigger and a casing that's entirely black (it's also said to boast a 30GB hard drive). Unfortunately, there's no official pictures of the device just yet, but the folks at Archos Lounge have put together the mockup above to feed the speculation in the meantime.&quot;</em><br /><br /><img border="1" src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/500/dht/auto/1205360335.usr10.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />Of course it looks A LOT like an iPhone, but I'm curious how thick it will be if it is using a hard drive instead of flash memory. On the pro side, if this sports an 800x480 screen it will address what I think is a big drawback of the iPhone.

It's just a mockup. No one knows how it'll look like.

Really? I've always thought the iPhone had a great screen and great resolution. I think anything above 320 x 240 is impressive. :D

When I was looking at them, it was a con since the N800 had much higher resolution. No big deal for mobile video since I want smaller sizes, but a lot more important when you want to get online.
