Archos AV700
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 05:00 AM
"The Archos AV700 digital video recorder isn't meant to be small. It's meant to provide comfortable viewing on long trips, so it's a biggest-of-breed device with a 7-inch widescreen LCD and either a 40GB or 100GB hard drive. Although not particularly cheap, the AV700 is impressive. Taking advantage of the extensive feature set requires a bit of tech savvy, though, and the complexity—combined with the $799.95 (direct) price for the 100GB model and $599.95 for the 40GB—may scare some people away. But early adopters and gadget freaks with deep pockets will love this attractive, versatile product."
They certainly pulled out all of the stops with this one. While I don't think that devices like this are practical for most at this kind of price point (I'd just use a laptop and get a lot more bang for the buck), if you do travel a lot and prize portability, this could be a great device for you.
