General Comments

The Archos AV500 DVR is an excellent MP3/4 player! have owned for 2 years now, had two problems. Screen has shifted around a bit - but it sorted itself out! and the charger broke, but other than that, an impeccable machine. the button layout is very ergonomic, and you even have a remote control!! show me an iPod with a remote control.

Compared to Apple, I have seen that the Archos have better screens in general, larger screens, may not be quite so dumbproof to use, but still very easy! it acts as an external hard drive as well as an mp3/4 player (i am aware that you can store on ipods, but it seriously is easy on the archos)

They sync with windows media player and also appreciate drag 'n' drop!

I love my Archos AV500 DVR 60GB! its fantastic, although the price tag leads a little to be desired, you don't get the technology you get in an Archos anywhere else, so its fair cop!!

You don't complain about an S Class Mercedes when you buy it!!
