Strictly speaking, it's much more than "just" a portable media player --
it's a full computer, just that Archos is marketing it as a media
player. There might be some way to get into a command prompt, just that
the Web site doesn't make that clear. It does seem that you can install
some applications, the nature of which isn't clear from the site.

I don't really see why that's not possible now. If you attach a
Linux-supported USB camera might do the trick. The missing part of the
equation is recording from that camera -- maybe with some software
application that's not part of stock installation?
