I recently bought an Archos 70 internet tablet (http://www.archos.com/products/ta/archos_70it/index.html?country=us&lang=en) for UKP 99.99 (down from the list of UKP 249.99). I bought it because Archos is a fantastic media player and I have a /lot/ of DVDs ripped to MP4. (I would not have been prepared to pay the silly original price). But. It can also run debian. ( See http://archosfans.com/2011/06/10/archos-gen8-tablets-can-multi-boot-froyo-gingerbread-debian-angstrom-ubuntu-chromium-os-and-more/ Indeed, Archos seem to encourage dual booting with other Linux variants through their developer edition firmware release. (http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/_ppp.html?country=us&lang=en&p=gen8) (Note. I have no personal experience of trying this. Using the developer edition firmware automatically invalidates the warranty and I acutually want to continue to use the tablet as is. If I had a spare of course.....)
