all I know for sure is that it won't connect to an ad-hoc, I don't know about creating or how exactly the hotspot software on the Evo does it, as usual, maybe HTC stepped in and fixed the OS's shortcomings

I think it was a great concept from Archos and down the road I may pick one up again, but the one I had was really buggy even after several hard resets. The Archos 5 was the first generation of Archos trying to put their proprietary media software along with Android and the two didn't coexist well, it froze a lot requiring a soft reset and it took a very long time to connect to a wifi network and sometimes I had to connect, disconnect, and reconnect (a process that sometimes took 5+ minutes) just to get it to work, which doesn't do well when it was supposed to be a quick internet access look something up on a nice big screen device.
BUT I do know that like 2 weeks after I returned it Archos dropped a big software update so it may be better now, I don't know, like I said, I may give Archos another shot down the road, especially now that they're shipping a 7 in. model
