Hmm I'd forgotten all about Archos. I was going to get an av300, but held off for the av400 then held off for the av500 and never got anything!

Yes though... I could use my old Ipaq for pda stuff and just get myself a pvr.

How does the 604/504 differ from the av500 series? It seems to do the same things and theres not much difference in dimensions or battery life. Or am I missing something here?
