For some more money, you might want to look at the Nokia N810 which is a 
full Internet tablet with bluettooth and wifi, running the Debian based 
Maemo distro. Fantastic touch sceen. Smaller and lighter than the 
Archos, plays transcoded mythtv files BEAUTIFULLY, using mplayer.

So it will play basically anything you want to push at it.
Various music players including rhapsody.

Ssh and other goodies of course.

Best extra benefit? Someone has written a program which makes the Nokia 
N810 a remote control for myth! (Using wifi/LAN or bluetooth). A small 
server program on the mythbox passes control codes to the network 
control port in a similar manner to lirc.

Awesome.

Only niggle: comes with only 2G memory, and you have to add a mini/micro 
SD card for your 'real' memory.
